Kings Of Leon are in a tight chart battle with Katy Perry for this week's UK Number One.

The Followill clan's comeback single 'Sex On Fire' is currently leading Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl' by around 2,000 copies, according to midweek chart figures.

Perry has topped the British countdown for the last five weeks, and chart experts say that the battle between her and Kings Of Leon, too close to call at the moment, is likely to go down to the last few copies.

Come on Kings of Leon! There's one more annoying in the world at the moment than Soundedd, it's ridiculous stating an opinion as if it's fact. I wouldn't kiss Katy Perry, she looks like Soundedd.haha
