UK Top 40 Sun 10 Oct 10
Congrats to Atlanta's Thomas DeCarlo Calloway aka Cee Lo Green who's clean & dirty 'Forget You' / 'F+ck You' double download has gone straight to number one beating Robbie Williams & Gary Barlow's oh so chummy 'Shame'.
Wiki - Cee Lo has described himself as being a "goon" in his youth. By the age of 10, he unfortunately made a disturbing hobby of torturing stray animals. He also spent his High School years assaulting homeless people and mugging passers-by, admitting "[I was] Just plain maniac."
He has two daughters, Sierra and Kalah, the daughters of his former wife Christina Johnson, and a son, Kingston. Sierra was on an episode of MTV's My Super Sweet 16 in season 1. She was also featured on the follow-up MTV television series, Exiled. Kingston is featured on the intro of 'Cee-Lo Green... is the Soul Machine'.
Tinie may have lost the singles top spot but he's shot in at No.1 on the UK Album Chart with 'Discovery' - and his 'Wonderwoman' collaboration with Ellie Goulding is proving a popular single download.
Stateside Bruno Mars holds on for a third week at No.1 with 'Just The Way You Are' with Far East Movement and Nelly in hot pursuit.

CD Albums for £1
Posted Fri 15 Oct 2010 - Source BBC.co.uk
The price of music albums should be slashed to around £1, a former major record label boss has suggested.
Rob Dickins, who ran Warner Music in the UK for 15 years, said "radically" lowering prices would help beat piracy and lead to an exponential sales rise.
Mr Dickins was in charge of the label from 1983-98, working with acts like Madonna, REM and Simply Red.
But his "revolution" in album prices has been met with scepticism from many in the music business.
Speaking at the In The City music conference in Manchester, Mr Dickins said album prices had already been pushed down by price wars and declining demand, and were likely to fall further.
"What we need is a revolution. What we've got is an erosion. When I was running Warners, a chart CD could be £12.99. A chart CD now can be £6.99, maybe even £5.99."
Some major album downloads currently sell for as little as £3.99 through retailers such as Amazon.
If record labels made the decision to charge much less, fans would not think twice about buying an album on impulse and the resulting sales boost would make up for the price drop, he predicted.
Making the comments during a debate with REM manager Bertis Downs, Mr Dickins advocated a "micro-economy" in which fans would make many small payments. He said: "If you're a fan of REM and you've got 10 albums and there's a new album coming out, you've got to make that decision about whether you want it or not. "If we lived in a micro-economy, that wouldn't be a decision. You'd just say 'I like REM' and you'd buy it."
Major albums would sell 200 million copies, he predicted. Last year's global best-seller, Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream, sold eight million.
