Kylie Minogue's reign as queen of the charts is over!

Pop princess Rihanna, who saw Top 20 success last month with "Rockstar 101", has claimed the #1 spot of the BWU Singles Chart this week with her new single "Only Girl (In The World)". It is the first song to debut at the top of the chart since The Saturdays' "Missing You" did in July. Rihanna ends the amazing four-week #1 streak of "Get Outta My Way", which now sits a spot lower at #2. Also falling a spot is Trey Songz's "Bottoms Up", down to #3.

Also debuting in the Top 5 this week is Flo Rida's "Club Can't Handle Me" at #4. Two more songs enter the Top 20: Sean Kingston's "Letting Go (Dutty Love)" and X Factor winner Olly Murs' "Please Don't Let Me Go".

After five weeks and a re-entry, Kanye West finally breaks the Top 10 with his single "Power", moving up to #9. Bruno Mars also continues his upward streak with "Just The Way You Are", jumping up to #5.

Zooming past Kanye is the power combo of Nicki Minaj and will.i.am, who leapfrog to #7 from #30. Nicki is the fourth artist (after Kylie, Usher, and Robyn) to hold two positions in the Top 10 (not counting features); "Your Love" is at #8 this week. Nicki Minaj has another reason to celebrate; "Your Love" has surpassed Kylie's "All The Lovers" by five points to become the most successful song in BWU Singles Chart history so far, with 372 points.

In certification news, "Missing You" (#21) goes Gold in it's eleventh week.
