Bouncy dance track "Pretty Green Eyes" by Ultrabeat, who are three Liverpool DJs, shot in at No. 2.

Latino New Yorker Lumidee rounded out the top five with "Never Leave You."
Also new in the top 10 was current U.S. chart-topper "Frontin" by Pharrell Williams featuring Jay-Z, which made its debut at No. 6, and "I'm in Heaven" by J Nevins/UKNY featuring Holly James, which entered at No. 9.
