London - Justin Timberlake knocked Beyonce and Jay-Z off the top of the British pop charts on Sunday to claim his first solo UK number one with Sexyback.

The American singer's first single in three years has already topped the charts in the United States.

While Timberlake hit number one in 2003 as a guest singer with US band Black Eyed Peas on Where is the Love?, he had never reached the top as a solo artist.

He has secured second place several times in Britain with hits including Like I Love You, Cry Me a River, and Rock Your Body.

Sexyback entered the UK charts at number 13 last week on the back of Internet sales alone.

After going on general sale this week, it pushed the Beyonce/Jay-Z duet Déjà vu down to third and held Shakira's Hips Don't Lie in second place.

The highest new entry was US band Scissor Sisters with their catchy retro song I Don't Feel Like Dancin.
