Ellie Goulding looks likely to spend a second week at the top of the UK singles chart with her smash hit 'Burn', while Lady Gaga has tumbled four places to No.9.
Last week, the 'Lights' star shot straight to No.1 after shifting an impressive 40,000 more copies than her nearest contender Avicii, who came in at No.2 with 'Wake Me Up'.
Now, the latest midweek charts show that the 26-year-old Goulding is likely to hang on to the top spots and is currently outselling Klangkarussell and Will Heard's 'Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine)' by 5,000 copies.
Voicing her joy and disbelief, Goulding simply Tweeted:
