Diana Vickers secures number one spot

Diana Vickers has rocketed to the top of the UK singles chart following the release of her debut single.

Entitled Once, the song knocked US singer Usher's OMG - featuring Will.I.AM - from the number one spot down to second.

Vickers, who came fourth in the 2008 series of the X Factor, had been tipped to top the rankings this week and recently starred in the West End revival of The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice.

She recently told the Daily Star that while she keeps in contact with her mentor on X Factor Cheryl Cole, the two are not as close as they were on the show.

Two other new releases made the top ten this week, with Tina Turner securing ninth place with The Best, and Chipmunk, featuring Esmee Denters, flying into third with Until You Were Gone.

Timbaland's Carry Out track with Justin Timberlake maintained eighth place, while Lady Gaga's Telephone slipped into 11th.
