LONDON ? Pop diva Madonna held on to the top spot in the British singles charts released Sunday for the second week running with her record 13th number one.
Her new track, "4 Minutes", which features Justin Timberlake, is part of her latest album, "Hard Candy", released a month ago, and was followed by Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold" and Estelle's "American Boy", featuring Kanye West, in second and third respectively.
The 49-year-old's 13 British chart-topping singles nearly double those of the next closest female solo artist, Kylie Minogue, who has seven.
In the album charts, meanwhile, "The Age of Understatement", the debut album by The Last Shadow Puppets, a collaboration between Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner and The Rascals singer Miles Kane, went straight to the top.
The Kooks' second album "Konk" fell one spot to second, and British television talent show winner Leona Lewis' "Spirit" also dropped one position to third.
