CHART TOPPERS
East London drum and bass four-piece Rudimental are celebrating their second number one in 12 months with 'Waiting All Night' featuring Ella Eyre.
They emerged triumphant in a head-to-head battle with the more famous Will.I.Am and Justin Bieber as their song '#ThatPower' went in at number two.

Last week's chart-topper Duke Dumont's 'Need U (100%)' featuring A*M*E, fell three places to number four, and P!nk's 'Just Give Me A Reason' featuring Nate Ruess rounded off this week's top five.
