Fuse ODG's 'Million Pound Girl (Badder Than Bad) is at six, and Ellie Goulding dropped one place to number seven with 'How Long Will I Love You'.
Matrix & Futurebound's Max Marshall-assisted 'Control' is at eight this week, while Eminem and Rihanna's 'The Monster' and 'Turn Back Time' from Sub Focus followed at nine and ten.
Meanwhile, Shakira and Rihanna's 'Can't Remember To Forget You' debuted at eleven following its release on January 13.
