Beyonce is back at the peak of her powers, and to prove it, latest single Halo makes a massive leap to the top of this week's radio airplay chart. The third single from her current I Am... Sasha Fierce set arrives at the summit after a speedy 74-30-9-1 climb, just six weeks after immediate predecessor Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) peaked at number three. If I Were A Boy, the first single from I Am... Sasha Fierce, topped the chart for a single week last November.

Halo polled exactly 2,000 plays from 94 stations last week, for an audience of 58.66m to relegate Taylor Swift's Love Story to number two after just one week in pole position.
