Plus Escala muscle into album countdown

Dizzee Rascal is enjoying a second week at the top of the UK single chart tonight (May 31) with 'Bonkers'.

The star has seen off stiff competition from the Black Eyed Peas and Swedish singer Agnes, who enters at Three with 'Release Me'.

Meanwhile the 'Britain's Got Talent' juggernaut casts a shadow across the album countdown as the 2009 finalists Escala, a glammed-up female string quartet, enter at two with their self-titled debut album.

Back on the singles chart, former Number One 'Number 1' from Tichny Stryder falls one place to four while Eminem's 'We Made You slips six places to 10.

According to the Official Charts Company the highest climber on the chart this week is Australian duo The Veronicas, who rise an astonishing 146 places to Number Eight.

On the album chart, Eminem remains on top with 'Relapse', and Scots veterans Simple Minds enter at 10 with new album 'Graffiti Soul'.

The UK Top 10 singles are:

1. Dizzee Rascal - 'Bonkers'

Congratulations Mr Rascal, you should feel really good. A tremendous achievement.Braindead housewifes and cheesy disco djs have bought 23 more cds of your your tune in tescos than the black eyed peas.

Fuck off Dizzie, can't believe he gets on festival bills like Reading/Leeds. Dunno how repeating the wors 'bruv' and 'blood' constitute a song.
