Katy Perry is still the undisputed queen of the Official Singles Chart as Roar clocks up another 100,000 copies to spend a second week at Number 1.

Jungle queen Katy Perry remains perched on the Official Singles Chart throne for a second week running with Roar.

Today Roar adds a further 103,000 copies to its sales tally, making Katy the undisputed queen of the Official Singles Chart for a second week running.
