Queen Of Pop Seizes Top Spot

Madonna reclaimed her queen of pop crown yesterday when she scooped her 11th UK No.1 with new single Hung Up.

The Abba-sampling track comes from the 47-year-old's 14th studio album, Confessions on a Dancefloor. Westlife's You Raise Me Up dropped to second place with new entries from Son Of Dork (Ticket Outta Loserville) and Simon Webbe (No Worries) taking third and fourth spots respectively. Arctic Monkeys enjoyed their fourth week in the top ten with I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor slipping one place to five.

In the album chart, pop/opera crossover quartet Il Divo snatched pole position with Ancora, pushing Westlife's Face To Face down one place to two.
