Ellie Goulding holds onto her Official Singles Chart crown as Burn spends its second week at Number 1! Plus: Big new entries for DJ Fresh and Diplo, Sean Paul and Naughty Boy!

Ellie Goulding is the undisputed queen of the UK’s Official Singles Chart for a second week! The 26-year-old singer/songwriter from Herefordshire knocked Miley Cyrus’ We Can’t Stop off the top spot last Sunday to score her first ever Number 1 with Burn. The single is taken from the deluxe edition of her latest album Halcyon – retitled Halcyon Days – which is out tomorrow.

Sadly, Ellie was performing at the V Festival last weekend, so she was unable to make it into BBC Radio 1 to be presented with her Official Number 1 Award for Burn by the station’s Official Chart Show’s host Jameela Jamil live on air. However, to mark this milestone in her career, Rita Ora – who has three of the Official Charts Company’s prestigious trophies to her name – kindly stepped in to do the honours backstage at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

You can see what happened when Ellie found out she was Number 1 last Sunday in the video clip below: 

Avicii’s former chart topper, Wake Me Up, holds firm at Number 2, while Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine) by Klangkarussell FT Will Heard is new in at Number 3The original version of Sonnentanz has been a massive hit on the continent for Klangkarussell, however the Austrian duo teamed up with 21-year-old London-based singer Will Heard for the UK release of the track.

DJ Fresh and Diplo debut one place behind them with Earthquake FT Dominique Young Unique (4), while the Cedric Gervais remix of Lana Del Rey’s Summertime Sadness is down one to Number 5.
