Connie Talbot spends a second week at No.1 with 'Never Give Up On Us'.
Connie is a singer / songwriter from the midlands of England.
She rose to fame through the TV show 'Britain's Got Talent' when she was only 7. She was writing her own songs even then. Now she's 19 and recently she returned as a guest on that TV show, and won back the heart of the nation.
Connie has won a few FAB Chart Music Awards, but she probably sets her sights as greater achievements.
Her debut album 'Over the Rainbow' sold over 250,000 copies worldwide and reached number one in three countries. She has released five album, so far.
She loves dogs, and we hope she loves cats too.
She has many fans in the Far East, and she performed for her largest ever audience on Chinese state television for the Chinese new-year in 2011. Viewing figures for the event were estimated to be around 400 million

PP Arnold moves up to No.11 with 'I Believe'.
PP is a singer from Los Angeles, USA.
Back in the 60s, she was a backing singer for Ike and Tina Turner but was noticed by Mick Jagger who convinced her to go solo.

To some people, PP had a short career in music before disappearing, but she has always been around. She has toured with artists like The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Humble Pie, Nick Drake and The Primal Scream.
She has also performed on The West End in such titles as 'Starlight Express' and 'Catch My Soul'.
Her current album is called 'The New Adventures of PP Arnold'.

The Cleaners from Venus move up to No.14 with 'Tricky Customer, Johnny Tomorrow'.
Sounds like a groovy band but, actually, it's Martin Newell, a singer / songwriter from England.
At 19 he joined his first band, The Mighty Plod, who were Glam Rock.
In 1979, he won his first record contract and, shortly afterwards, his first single 'Young Jobless' was released.
He formed The Cleaners from Mars in the 80s, and began co-writing songs with Captain Sensible.
Now, in his 50s, he writes songs, poems and books. He's travelled quite a lot, but he loves to come home to England.
Wonder if he likes cats?

Engelbert Humperdick comes in at No.16 with 'You'.
Engelbert is a veteran singer who famously kept The Beatles from No.1 at the height of their popularity.
He is English and has been described as "one of the finest middle-of-the-road balladeers around. His singles "Release Me" and "The Last Waltz" both topped the UK music charts in 1967, and sold more than a million copies each.
It has not always been an easy ride for 'Humpy'. There have been lean times, in his early career, when he could not even afford food, but he had a very good landlord who kept him from being on the streets.
Now, Engelbert has reached the status of music icon.
He is a famous crooner, but that's something he does not like being called. "No crooner has the range I have. I can hit notes a bank could not cash." he says.
