Singer/songwriter Pixie Lott has topped the UK charts with her debut single 'Mama Do'.

The former stage school pupil knocked the Black Eyed Peas from the top slot with their hit 'Boom Boom Pow'.

The only other new entry in this week's top 10 was 'When Love Takes Over' by David Guetta and US singer Kelly Rowland - in at No 7.

Kasabian topped the album chart with their new release 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum'.

Lott found fame after replying to an advert she saw in The Stage searching for the 'next pop diva'.

According to the Official UK Charts Company, she is the first British female solo artist to go straight in at No 1 with their debut single. The only exceptions are reality TV stars Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke.

Lott is due to release her first album later this year.
