Carly Rae Jepsen, the relatively unknown Canadian Idol contestant who scored a surprise debut Number 1 three weeks ago with Call Me Maybe, has today landed the top spot on the Official Singles Chart for a fourth week running with another impressive sale of almost 100,000 copies.
Having also shifted in excess of 100,000 units on each of the previous three weeks, Call Me Maybe has by now racked up a tally of 434,000 to date, putting the Canadian pop princess firmly on the way to becoming one of 2012’s biggest sellers, currently riding high at Number 7 in the best sellers of the year to date.
Last week Radio 1’s Official Chart host Reggie Yates presented Carly with her well-deserved Official Singles Chart Number 1 Award. The award is a new initiative by the Official Charts Company in partnership with Radio 1, launched as part of 2012’s celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the Official Singles Chart. The brushed aluminum trophy is now presented to recognise every new Number 1 single. In case you missed it, here is Carly accepting the award:
The former Canadian Idol finalist scored her fourth week at number one in the UK singles chart, keeping mentor Justin Bieber off the top spot.
Calvin Harris achieved the highest and only new entry this week with his Ne-Yo collaboration 'Let's Go', which debuted at number two.
Conor Maynard slip froms two to four with 'Can't Say No', while Jessie J and David Guetta round the top five with 'LaserLight'.
Elsewhere, on the singles chart Alex Clare climbs ten places to six with 'Too Close'.
Last week Carly Rae Jepsen revealed she's been "pleasantly surprised'' by Justin Bieber's new album.
Jepsen, who is singed to his manager Scooter Braun's label Schoolboy Records, said that his fans will not be disappointed with 'Believe'.
'
The Call Me Maybe' singer told MTV: "He’s played me a couple of his new tracks and I was really impressed. It’s a different sound to what I was expecting but I was pleasantly surprised.
"I think his fans can be excited to hear Justin grown up and that his music’s developed in a really great way. It was awesome to begin with but it’s just got this maturity to it now.”
