LONDON (Reuters) - X Factor winner Alexandra Burke topped the singles charts for a third week on Sunday with her version of the Leonard Cohen classic "Hallelujah."

"Just dance," by New Yorker Lady GaGa, featuring Colby O'Donis, stormed into the singles chart at number three.

Take That held on to top spot in the album chart for the fifth week with "The Circus."

Kings of Leon moved up a notch to number two with "Only by the Night" and Welsh singer Duffy rose three places to number three with "Rockferry," biggest-selling album of 2008.

Leona Lewis's album "Spirit," which has spent 60 weeks in the chart, slipped two places to number four.
