MUSIC BOX: Rudimental Have Done It Again

CHART TOPPERS

East London drum and bass four-piece Rudimental are celebrating their second number one in 12 months with 'Waiting All Night' featuring Ella Eyre.

They emerged triumphant in a head-to-head battle with the more famous Will.I.Am and Justin Bieber as their song '#ThatPower' went in at number two.

Kesi Dryden of Rudimental

Rudimental's track finished the week almost 38,000 copies ahead of the pop duo.

Daft Punk entered this week's top three after selling 50,000 copies in 48 hours of new single 'Get Lucky' featuring Pharrell Williams. Last week's chart-topper Duke Dumont's 'Need U (100%)' featuring A*M*E, fell three places to number four, and P!nk's 'Just Give Me A Reason' featuring Nate Ruess rounded off this week's top five.

Meanwhile, Michael Buble has scored the fastest selling album of the year - and his own career - after his latest recording outsold the rest of the top five combined this week.

'To Be Loved', the Canadian crooner's third UK number one album in a row, amassed a total of 121,000 sales in its opening week, according to the Official Charts Company.

There's a new raspy seductive French voice in town. Benjamin Biolay, described as Serge Gainsbourg meets Richard Hawley, is set to release his eighth full-length album, 'Vengeance', in the UK on 6 May.

For this year's Ibiza playlist, Manchester music collective //MDNGHT// have announced their hypnotic debut single, 'I Will Lead You On,' released on 22 April.

Made up of J (a talented falsetto lead vocalist), Will and Ant (guitars) and Lloyd (DJ and percussion), the group have created a sound that's a mix of house, balearic beats, disco, and Chic style guitars.

And currently mastering electro-pop is Betty Who, a 21-year-old six-foot-two Aussie vegan now living in Boston.

Her debut single 'Somebody Loves You' (below) was released late last year, and she's now self-released her first EP, 'The Movement'.

With a hint of Robyn about her, Betty has also named Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson and Kylie Minogue among her inspirations.
