| Sunday, 20 October, 2002, 18:04 GMT 19:04 UK Nelly and Kelly grab UK number one ![]() Will Young has hung on to the album number one Nelly's duet with Kelly Rowland has hit the top of Britain's singles charts - giving the rapper his first UK number one. Dilemma entered the charts at number one, pushing Spanish summer sound The Ketchup Song (Asereje) down to number two.
On the album charts, Will Young has held on to the top spot with From Now On - part of an unchanged top four. Nelly was born in Texas, and had a surprise album hit in the US with his first release, Country Grammar, in 2000. It entered the Billboard album chart at number three before climbing to the top and spending five weeks there. Dilemma sees him duet with Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland, no stranger to the number one spot with her usual bandmates. John Otway's Bunsen Burner, which gave the singer a number nine after 25 years away from the charts, has fallen out of the top 40.
It is in its second week at number one, holding off a new compilation of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits, Forty Licks. Another hits collection, Elvis Presley's, is at number three followed by jazz singer Norah Jones, whose album Come Away With Me has sold more than 300,000 copies - a rare event in the jazz world. Two more collections - by Fleetwood Mac and INXS - have also entered the album top 20. | See also: 13 Oct 02 | Entertainment 11 Oct 02 | Entertainment 12 Oct 02 | Entertainment 10 Sep 02 | Entertainment 07 Oct 02 | Entertainment 29 Sep 02 | Entertainment Internet links: The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites Top Entertainment stories now: Links to more Entertainment stories are at the foot of the page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
