The 21-year-old Londoner's collaboration with US rapper Flo Rida entered the chart in pole position in its debut week, pipping Williams' single Bodies to the post.
Nightie to remember
Her first single, a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, was last year's Christmas number one after Burke won the fifth series of ITV's talent search competition.
Williams, whose last UK number one was Radio in 2003, appeared on The X Factor earlier this month to coach the contestants and help promote his latest single.
The former Take That singer has topped the singles charts six times since leaving the boy band, including the duet Somethin' Stupid, recorded with Nicole Kidman.
On the album chart, British indie rock band Editors entered at number one with their new release In This Light and On This Evening. -- REUTERS
