LONDON - Justin Timberlake continued to top the UK album chart for the third week after his new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, raced to the top of the charts in it first week.

Timberlake beat off other new entries like indie band the Fratellis' "Costello Music" and former Fame Academy finalist Lemar's "The Truth About Love". Last week's number one album, Snow Patrol's Eyes Open, dropped down to number four.

Meanwhile Scissor Sisters' I Don't Feel Like Dancin' remained at the top of the singles chart second week running with Timberlake's SexyBack on the second spot. Timberlake has reportedly signed up with Duran Duran, the iconic eighties pop band, and will produce tracks for their new album.

Meanwhile Fergie's "London Bridge" jumped up from 25th spot to the third on the singles list soon after its physical release. Jamelia's "Something About You" was at the tenth spot, just below "Never Be Lonely" from Feeling. Nelly Furtado and rapper Timbaland's "Promiscuous" was at the fourth spot followed by "When You Were Young", by rock band the Killers.
