Dutch dance duo Bingo Players hit jackpot at top of UK pop chart
LONDON (Reuters) – Dutch dance duo Bingo Players secured their first British No 1 single on Sunday with the club hit “Get Up (Rattle)”, a collaboration with hip-hop group Far East Movement.
They edged last week’s No 1 “Scream & Shout”, by US rapper and producer will.i.am and singer Britney Spears, into second place, the Official Charts Company said. The dance act’s previous biggest British hit was “Cry (Just a Little)”, a track which used bits of Brenda Russell’s “Piano in the Dark” and reached only No 44 in the charts.
Climbing one position to third was American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift with “I Knew You Were Trouble”.
R&B singer Rihanna and US artist Mikky Ekko rose to fourth from fifth with “Stay”. Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and London rapper Tinie Tempah rose one place to No 5 with “Drinking from the Bottle”.
There was no change at the top of the album chart. The soundtrack of “Les Miserables”, the Oscar-nominated drama set in 19th century France, held on to the No 1 spot. English band I Am Kloot were the highest new entry with their sixth studio release “Let It All In”, its best performance on the UK album chart.
