Following up the phenomenal success they enjoyed with debut single Beat Again, JLS - who shot to fame on the hit reality TV show last year but finished second behind fellow chart act Alexandra Burke - sold more than 100,000 copies of their new single in the first seven days on release.
JLS are only the fourth act - in addition to Alexandra, X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and rap star Dizzee Rascal - to sell in six figures in their first week in the charts, although the boyband have now done so twice with their first two singles.
Band member Oritsé Williams said: 'I can't believe we have another number one single.
'The best thing is that it feels like people really enjoy our music. To have our first two singles go to number one is more than we ever expected.'
The band's eponymously titled album is released on Monday.
In the UK albums chart, Cheryl Cole's 3 Words stays at number one for a second week ahead of American rockers Bon Jovi, who enter at number two with new album The Circle.
Other new entries in the top ten are the Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits, at number four, and Welsh songstress Katherine Jenkins' The Ultimate Collection at number nine.
