will.i.am: gets his first solo number one in Britain

Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am has scored his first UK solo number one single with This Is Love.

His collaboration with Eve Simons sold over 102,000 copies, continuing the 100,000 sales barrier achieved for British number ones over the past month.

The Voice UK coach said: "I've had number ones before with the Black Eyed Peas, but to me this one means so much, because I know people thought I can only be successful in the Black Eyed Peas, they were wrong."

He knocks last week's number one Payphone by Maroon 5 down to number two, while Chris Brown is at three with Don't Wake Me Up.

Flo Rida's Whistle drops one place to four, with Cheryl Cole falling three places to number five with Call My Name.
