Rapper Kanye West has claimed his first UK number one single with Stronger.
The US star, who has been performing at the V Festival this weekend, knocked Swedish singer Robyn from the top spot after a reign of just one week.
In the album chart, Elvis Presley compilation The King entered at number one in the week marking the 30th anniversary of the singer's death.
His song Suspicious Minds entered the singles chart at 11. It originally went to number two in 1969.
Songs by Gym Class Heroes and Axwell Ft Max'C surged into the top 10, while David Guetta's dance track Love Is Gone climbed from 12 to number nine.
