British Newcastle comedy duo Ant and Dec scored a surprise singles number one last week with a reissue of a 19-year-old hit, while U.S. star Justin Timberlake clung* to the top of the album chart, the Official Charts Company said on Sunday.

    Originally released in 1994 under the moniker* PJ and Duncan, Ant and Dec’s “Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble” went straight to number one after the pair asked other pop stars to perform the song on their Saturday Night Takeaway TV show.

    The song, which reached the top 10 in 1994, is the first number one for the pair, who are both aged 37.

    London-based singer-songwriter Charlie Brown provided the top 10’s only other new entry with “On My Way” at number seven, the artist’s first top 10 hit.(SD-Agencies)
