Published Sunday, Jan 29 2012, 19:00 GMT | By Daniel Sperling | 31 comments
Cover Drive have landed straight at the top of the UK singles chart with their sophomore single 'Twilight'.
The Bajan four-piece, whose debut track 'Lick Ya Down' peaked at nine last September, took the title after beating this week's runner-up 'Titanium' from David Guetta and Sia by a margin of 10,000 copies.
Last Sunday's champion 'Domino' by Jessie J slips down to third after a two-week reign, while 'Mama Do The Hump' by Rizzle Kicks and new entry 'Wild Ones' by Flo Rida and Sia complete the top five.
'Somebody That I Used To Know' by Gotye and Kimbra storms to seven from its previous finish of 21 and Kelly Clarkson boosts three to eight with 'Stronger', forcing Flo Rida's 'Good Feeling' down four to nine. Pitbull and Chris Brown conclude the bestsellers after trotting three to ten with 'International Love'
Further down the chart, Labrinth and Tinie Tempah shift forward three places to 11 with 'Earthquake', while Lloyd, Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne move in the opposite direction with 'Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)', landing at 12 from last week's six.
Lana Del Rey is a new entry at 14 with 'Born to Die', Avicii dips eight to 15 with 'Levels', while Taio Cruz's 'Trouble Maker' and Coldplay's 'Paradise' also drop seven each to 16 and 17.
The upper half of the chart closes with a new entry from Redlight entitled 'Get Out Of My Head' at 18, Pixie Lott's 'Kiss The Stars', which is down 11 at 19, and a second entry from Lana Del Rey in the form of 'Video Games', a non-mover at 20.
