Flo Rida has topped the UK singles chart with Good Feeling, eight weeks after its original release.

Good Feeling had previously peaked at number two back in November and has remained in the top ten for two months. 

The single contains a vocal sample from the 1962 track Something's Gotta Hold On Me by Etta James. It also samples Avicii's current track Levels, which also flies high in fourth spot and features in a recent TV advert.

Coldplay's Paradise drops to second, while Taio Cruz has the highest new entry with Troublemaker in third place. Rizzle Kicks' Mama Do The Hump climbs to fifth spot.

Other new entries include Skepta's Hold On at 31 while Michael Kiwanuka debuts at 37 with Home Again. The Winner of BBC Sound of 2012 breaks into the chart with the title track of his forthcoming debut album, due for release in March.

This week's highest climber is James Vincent McMorrow's cover of Steve Winwood's Higher Love. The Irish singer/songwriter's haunting version of the classic 1986 track recently featured on a Lovefilm TV advert and rises to 21.
