Dizzee heights

Number one innit?

Congratulations to Dizzee Rascal.

For record sales rather than spelling admittedly: the Brit rapper's single Dance Wiv Me, featuring Calvin Harris and Chrome, is the new number one.

That's good news for two reasons. First of all, it's a British number one. Secondly, it prevented Basshunter getting to the top.

And if Basshunter had got to the top he was going to skydive in a pink bunny costume.

Basshunter, real name Jonas Altberg, fulfilled a series of promises when last single Now You’re Gone stayed at the top of the charts, including posing in a Borat-style mankini.

As for the pink bunny thing... 'I told a fan I'd do the jump when, not if, I get to No 1. I just need to find somewhere to do it... maybe Big Ben,' he told The Sun.

As it happens, Basshunter's All I Ever Wanted entered the charts at number three, with last week's number one, Ne-Yo's Closer, slipping to two.

Meanwhile, in the album charts, Coldplay hold onto top spot again. Expect to seem them there for some time to come...
