Want a number one single? Get yourself on the cover of ELLE.

Our June cover star, Miley Cyrus, has gone straight in at number one with both her single Wrecking Ball and new album, Bangerz.

Miley, 20, is the first artist this year to top both the UK singles and album charts, and Wrecking Ball is her second British number one this year, following on from the success of We Can’t Stop this summer.

And she’s not the only one: Katy Perry, who starred on our September cover, hit number one last month with her latest single Roar, while Rihanna is an all-round hit-making music machine.

Basically, we’re setting the chart agenda. Find out who else we rate...
