UK Singles Charts 26/08/2007 | Kanye West Still Number 1 - Sean Kingston At Number 2

Kanye West proved his song title correct by staying at number 1 for the 2nd week running with ‘Stronger’. Sean Kingston has gone straight in at number 2 with the strangely catchy but otherwise utter crap ‘Beautiful Girls’.
