Coldplay score first ever UK number one single

Coldplay top the UK singles chart today (June 22) for the first time ever with 'Viva la Vida', the title track from their new album.

The album, 'Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends' remains a soaraway seller at the peak of the album chart.

It's been a week of firsts for Chris Martin and his crew. On Thursday Coldplay scored their first US number one single and also topped the US albums chart.

However, Coldplay miss out on having two singles in the UK top 10 chart as 'Violet Hill' sits at number 11.

Elsewhere on the singles chart, last week's number one 'Singin' in the Rain' by dance veterans Mint Royale falls seven places to number eight while Ne-Yo climbs to number two and Rihanna slips to three with 'Take a Bow'.

Back on the album chart, Duffy moves up to two with her debut 'Rockferry' - an album that had been the year's biggest first week seller until Coldplay appeared. New entries appear on the top 10 from Darren Styles at four with 'Skydivin'', Feeder at eight with 'Silent Cry' and Sara Bareilles at nine with 'Little Voice'.

Fleet Foxes narrowly miss on a top 10 place landing at 11 with their self-titled release.

The UK top 10 singles are:
1. Coldplay: 'Viva La Vida'
2. Ne-Yo: 'Closer'
3. Rihanna: 'Take A Bow'
4. Sara Bareilles: 'Love Song'
5. Chris Brown: 'Forever'
6. Gabriella Cilmi: 'Sweet About Me'
7. The Ting Tings: 'That's Not My Name'
8. Mint Royale: 'Singin' In The Rain'
9. Duffy: 'Warwick Avenue'
10. Jordin Sparks: 'No Air'

Hottest tracks of the week

CAGE THE ELEPHANT – Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked. These Kentucky rockers have
a formidable reputation for live chaos. This is one of the breathers in
their set – bluesy slide-guitar with a rapped stream of observations on TV
evangelists and picking up girls on the street. Huge. 4
WHITE WILLIAMS – Violator. Feel-good loungey beats with a
leftfield slant, from Joe Williams’ debut album Smoke. 4
MICHAEL JACKSON featuring AKON – Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.
Lively version of the original with a new vocal from Jacko. The tentative
first step on the comeback trail. 3
THE PRESETS – This Boy’s In Love. Electro-pop which would
have been described as futuristic in the Eighties. Disco beats with a new
romantic icy coolness from the Aussies. 4
BRENDAN CAMPBELL – Twilight Bird EP. Four arresting tracks from
the 25-year-old Glaswegian folkie. 4
JONAS BROTHERS – SOS. Teenage heartthrobs playing adolescent
rock. 2.5
WE SMOKE FAGS – Eastenders. Brattish punk vocals with a fuzzy
backing track like a Rolf Harris Stylophone. 3
PANIC AT THE DISCO – That Green Gentleman. They’ve swapped their
Las Vegas glam popsters sound for a sub Britpop. Confusing. 2
I WAS A CUB SCOUT — The Hunter’s Daughter. Anthemic proggy
synth-pop with swelling, impassioned choruses. 3
JAMIE LIDELL – Another Day. Uplifting soul. 3

Big Brother's Mario & Stephanie Struggle With 'Couple' Task

Mario and Stephanie, Big Brother’s ‘fake’ couple, are already starting to bicker and argue as though they are dating for real.

The self-proclaimed Italian Stallion is struggling with the secret mission evil Big Brother set for him, especially as he is under the watchful eye of his real life girlfriend Lisa.

Being the first two contestants to enter the house, they were followed by teetotal Luke, and Popstars flop Stephanie. The foursome was then set the task to pretend that Mario and Stephanie are dating, and that the real couple of Mario and Lisa had only just met for the first time that day.

If any of the other housemates suspect Mario and Stephanie are not a real couple, all four housemates will be up for eviction.

And the fake couple are not happy with each other’s attempts. Steph accused Mario of not showing her enough affection, saying: "People who only met tonight look closer than we are."

Meanwhile, Mario said his new 'girlfriend' was getting on his nerves, telling Luke: "One minute she's pulling me in and the next she's pushing me away."

They had better sort out their domestic troubles soon – Big Brother plans to ‘marry’ them on Sunday’s show.

Winehouse to move in with the Osbournes?

Amy Winehouse will reportedly move into best friend Kelly Osbourne's family home when she leaves rehab.
Now magazine reports that the singer, 24, is planning to stay at a guest cottage in the grounds of the Osbournes' mansion in Chalfont St Peter, Bucks.
Osbourne and father Ozzy, 59, believe the retreat will help Winehouse's recovery.
"Kelly has always been there for Amy, they are very tight," a source told the Daily Mirror. "When Amy went into rehab, it was Kelly who picked out clothes to take in from her East End flat.
"She's patient, she has been there before with her dad and knew this time would come.
"Kelly is probably the most qualified of her pals to help look after Amy - she's certainly a better influence than Pete Doherty."
Osbourne is not the only one willing to help Winehouse. Film bosses have reportedly agreed to let her write and sing the new James Bond theme for Quantum of Solace, if she stays off drugs.
"If Amy is clean then, it's hers," a source told The Sun. "It will have a dark and moody feel so Amy would be absolutely perfect. It's another fantastic carrot being dangled to encourage her to give up drugs."
