London - Thirteen proved a lucky
number for pop diva Madonna as she notched up her thirteenth
British number one single with Four Minutes, the Official UK
Charts Company said on Sunday.
A collaboration with Justin Timberlake, Four Minutes
climbed three places to knock American Boy by Estelle -
featuring Kanye West - off the top spot, while Sam Sparro's
electro-soul single Black and Gold dropped from one to three.
With more UK number ones than any other female solo artists,
this was the first time Madonna has released a single featuring
a guest artist.
With no new entries in the top 10, the highest mover was the
Last Shadow Puppets' The Age of Understatement - a
collaboration between Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys and the
Rascals' Miles Kane - which rose 15 places to nine.
Leona Lewis
There was more fluidity in the album charts, with Brighton
rock band the Kooks going straight to number one with their
latest long player Konk.
Former X-Factor winner Leona Lewis and Spirit rose three
to number two, with pop singer Mariah Carey's E=MC2 going
straight in at three.
Last week's number one Rockferry by soul singer Duffy
dropped to four, while Elliot Minor's eponymous album was the
third new album in the top 10, coming in at six.
