Hitting the top spot with their duet Beautiful Liar: Beyonce and Shakira

Indie stars Arctic Monkeys - who release their hotly anticipated second album Favourite Worst Nightmare tomorrow - also climbed the charts.

The Sheffield lads leapt from number 11 to number two with their single Brainstorm.

It was disappointment though for Mark Ronson whose cover version of The Smiths' classic Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before dropped from second place to number five.

But his album Version - which includes guest appearances from Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse - almost topped the album charts debuting at number two.

Ronson was beaten to the top slot by Avril Lavigne whose album The Best Damn Thing went straight in at number one and follows the success of single Girlfriend which remains at number four.

Another new entry in the album chart is Nine Inch Nails' latest long player Year Zero which landed at six.
