One-time darling of the charts and the original Pop Idol runner-up Gareth Gates failed to make the top 10 with his latest track.

Gates, now 22, recently launched a second onslaught on the charts after his first taste of pop stardom, off the back of the television talent show, ended in 2003.

But Changes, the new song from the singer, who came second to Will Young on the first ever series of Pop Idol, only made it to number 14 - in contrast to his earlier successes.

Cult Scottish folk twins the Proclaimers also fell short - missing out on four weeks at number one after being knocked off the top spot by Timbaland's new track Give It To Me.

Timbaland's song rose seven places up the chart to take the number one slot while (I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles fell to number four.

Mark Ronson's track Stop Me, a cover version of The Smiths' track Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before, rose four places to number two - eight places higher than the 80s Manchester indie band ever scored in the UK charts.

Canadian rocker Avril Lavigne's latest offering Girlfriend fell one place to three. Beyonce and Shakira's collaboration Beautiful Liar climbed from 10 to five, with Gwen Stefani featuring Akon with The Sweet Escape behind them at six.

Fray's How To Save A Life fell three places to seven, Fergie and Glamorous were at eight, Alex Gaudino and Destination Calabria at nine and the Kaiser Chiefs' Ruby at 10.

Kings of Leon and Because Of The Times held on to the number one spot in the album chart, with Cascada and Everytime We Touch at two and Take That's Beautiful World a non-mover at three.
