The Barbados-born R and B singer's hit, Umbrella, featuring Jay-Z, again outsold all-comers, including the indie darlings' new hit, Icky Thump, which surged up the charts 11 places to number two.

Enrique Iglesias single, 'Do You Know', also continues to climb up the Top 40, jumping from nine last week, to number three.

Former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland is at four, with Like This, while ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena's debut hit Real Girl drops from two to five.

Calvin Harris is down three at six with The Girls, while last week's number four Gym Class Heroes is also on the slide with Cupid's Chokehold at seven.

Divas Beyonce and Shakira are at eight with their huge hit Beautiful Liar, and US Pop Idol star Kelly Clarkson is a new entry at nine with Never Again.

HelloGoodbye's Here (In your Arms) completes the top 10. Elsewhere in the charts, hotly-tipped indie band The Holloways entered the Top 40 at 14 with their infectious single Generator, and rockers Maximo Park jumped a massive 100 places to number 16, with Books from Boxes.

In the album charts, the Traveling Wilburys won the battle of the golden oldies to claim the top spot.

The supergroup, which featured ex-Beatle George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, went straight in at number one with their greatest hits album "Collection".

The group, which also featured the legendary Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne, only ever made two albums.

Volume one was released in 1988, just a month after Orbison's death. The remaining four members recorded the follow-up Volume 3, two years later.

Surprisingly neither made the Top Ten of the charts, which makes today's triumph all the sweeter.

Wilburys was George Harrison's name for technical gremlins and the band only formed after coming together for an impromptu B-side for one of the ex-Beatle's singles.

Veteran rock group Bon Jovi were another new entry in the album chart at two with Lost Highway, while The Police's self-titled greatest hits are in at three.

Last week's number one Rihanna is at four with Good Girl Gone Bad, and the recently reformed rock dinosaurs Genesis are at five, with Turn It on Again - The Hits.
