The Script’s Hall Of Fame may have been knocked off the top of the Official Singles Chart by PSY’s Gangnam Style on Sunday, but it remains the UK’s most listened to track for a second week running!

Hall Of Fame, which features Black Eyed Peas mainman Will.I.Am, hit Number 1 on the Official Streaming Chart last week. The Official Streaming Chart is compiled by the Official Charts Company on behalf of the British music industry, and has been running since May. It is the first chart which ranks audio streams from both ad-funded and subscription streaming services in the UK, which reflects the increasing interest in the new generation of music services such as Spotify, Deezer, Napster and We7.

K-pop sensation Psy’s Gangnam Style surges a massive 21 places to take the Number 2 slot after seven weeks on the chart while former Official Streaming Chart Number 1, Taylor Swift’s We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, is down one place to Number 3.

This week’s Top 5 is completed by Mumford & SonsI Will Wait (up 27 places to Number 4) and Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen’s Good Time at Number 5.
