Black Eyed Peas & Green Day Top UK Chart

bep

Black Eyed Peas have shot straight to number one with Boom Boom Pow, the bands first single in three years.

The stripped-back electro track ends Tinchy Stryder’s three-week reign at the top of the charts, and pushes La Roux’s In For The Kill down to three.

Eminem’s We Made You and Lily Allen’s Not Fair complete the top five, each moving up three places from last week.

1. Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow
2. Tinchy Stryder – Number 1
3. La Roux – In For The Kill
4. Eminem – We Made You
5. Lily Allen – Not Fair

In the album chart, pop punk outfit Green Day score their second ever number one with 21st Century Breakdown.

The 17-track concept album builds on their former bestseller, American Idiot, with a story about a young couple on the run from the American dream.

Other new entries in the album countdown include Maximo Park, who land at number six with Quicken The Heart, and crooner Jim Reeves, whose latest best of collection enters at nine.
