Beyonce and Shakira hit top spot

Diva duo Shakira and Beyonce have reached number one with their Beautiful Liar single beating Sheffield boys Arctic Monkeys.

Despite a tight race the big haired pair rose to the top spot (from number five last week) while Brianstorm, the indie boys comeback single, made second place. Were sure the Monkeys have bigger fish to fry with their superb second album Favourite Worst Nightmare out today and set to take over the world.

Superstar producer Timbaland and his famous friends Nelly and Justin, who were last weeks number one with Give It To Me, dropped to third on the official chart.

In the album chart Avril Lavigne- who has a problem with your Girlfriend- went straight in at number one with The Best Damn Thing. Mark Ronson's Versions album- where he artfully rips off old songs-also had a new entry at two.
