Cheryl Cole has stormed to the top of the charts with her debut solo single.
Cole's Fight For This Love is the fastest-selling single of the year
Cole, 26, knocked X Factor winner Alexandra Burke from top spot with her single Fight For This Love.
The Official Charts Company said Cole had smashed the record for fastest-selling single of the year so far with over 290,000 sales.
But Ms Burke still had reasons to smile as her long player Overcome claimed number one spot in the album chart.
X Factor judge Cole was predicted to gain top spot after she wowed the ITV talent show audience last week when performing the song for the first time.
After the performance Simon Cowell told her: "It's really going to pain me to have to say this but that was incredible."
Burke held on to second spot in the singles chart with her song Bad Boys featuring US rap superstar Flo Rida.
A delighted Cole said: "I'm just getting over the fact I have recorded my solo record and now it's number 1.
"I can't take this all in. It's hard for me to put into words how I feel. I have this permanent smile on my face."
Elsewhere, soul diva Whitney Houston forced her way into the top 10 with her single Million Dollar Bill claiming fifth spot.
She had also previewed the song on X Factor but suffered a wardrobe malfunction when a strap on her dress snapped open.
