Rita Ora claims Official Number 1 single for second week running

Rita Ora battled it out this week with a cast of the other current ladies of pop, and today clinches her victory as R.I.P FT Tinie Tempah is today the UK’s Official Number 1 single for a second week running.

Though things were looking on course for an all-girl Top 3 earlier in the week, indie outfit Fun finish the week less than 1,000 copies behind 21-year-old Rita, with emo-friendly anthem We Are Young FT Janelle Monae climbing three places to Number 2.

Call Me Maybe by Canadian popster Carly Rae Jepsen is a non-mover at Number 3, while Alex Clare’s Too Close, as featured in the current Internet Explorer TV ad campaign, also holds strong at 4.  Tulisa completes this week’s Top 5 with previous chart topper, Young.

Despite being contenders for the top spot midweek, The Saturdays are this week’s highest new entry with 30 Days debuting at Number 7. The track is taken from the girl band’s upcoming, but as yet untitled, fourth studio album.
