Take That clinched top spot in the singles charts and proved that their revival shows no sign of faltering.

The reformed boy band's latest release, Shine, jumped nine places to knock Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs into second.

Take That's album, Beautiful World, and previous single, Patience, which scooped a Best British Single Award at the Brits, have also both reached number one in the charts.

On Friday, the 22 dates for their Beautiful World arena tour sold out in record time.

Six extra nights have been added to meet the demand from fans who want to see the quartet.

The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani ft Akon jumped four to third spot while Beirut-born pop singer Mika's track Grace Kelly slipped down two to number four.

Fray's How Top Save A Life remained at number five, Lil Star by Kelis ft Cee Lo fell three to six while the highest new entry came next, Standing In The Way Of Control by Gossip.

Miracle by Cascada debuted at number eight followed by I Wanna Love You by Akon ft Snoop Dogg which had fallen five places.

Justin Timberlake's What Goes Around Comes Around moved up one place to number 10.

In the album charts, the Kaiser Chiefs' new CD Yours Truly Angry Mob debuted at number one, Take That's Beautiful World jumped three to second place, while Amy Winehouse's Back to Black was third after being knocked from the top slot.

The highest new entry was Treasure by New Zealand-born singer Hayley Westenra which debuted at number nine.

The 19-year-old has become the first classical artist to make the top 10 of the pop charts with three consecutive albums.

Hayley said: "I feel amazingly lucky that I've had such success early on. For me three really is the magic number. I'm glad to be flying the flag for classical music, and I just want to thank my family for all their love and support throughout my career."
