Jason Derulo and 2 Chainz are on course for a second week at Number 1 with raunchy anthem, Talk Dirty.

On Sunday, Jason Derulo did the dirty on Katy Perry, knocking the California gurl‘s single, Roar, off the top of the Official Singles Chart to earn his third UK Number 1. His raunchy anthem, Talk Dirty FT 2 Chainz, became the fastest selling single of his career to date, and is the fourth fastest selling single of 2013 over-all.

According to the Official Charts Company’s latest sales data, Jason now looks set to continue his chart lead this week, with Talk Dirty outselling Roar (2) by more than 7,500 copies at this midway stage.
