Singer Lily Allen has topped the UK singles chart with her song Smile. The 21-year-old nudged Shakira's Hips Don't Lie into the second spot after it spent just one week at the top of the singles chart.
Allen - who has built a solid fan base on the internet - entered the chart at number 13 last week based on download sales alone.
Razorlight rose to three from 15th place with In The Morning, while Nelly Furtardo slipped to four with Maneater.
