Basshunter’s Euro dance track “Now You’re Gone” fought off troubled pop star Britney Spears to become Britain’s new number one single! Spears’s single “Piece of Me” climbed 17 places to two, but Basshunter — the pseudonym used by Swedish DJ & singer, Jonas Altberg — went one better as “Now You’re Gone” rose 13 places to take top spot, the Official UK Charts Company said on Sunday.
