Luciano Pavarotti has made a posthumous comeback to the UK singles chart, nearly 15 years after his last hit.Download sales of Nessun Dorma saw the track rise to number 24, following the tenor's death on Thursday.
The track made number two in 1990 after being used as the BBC's theme to its coverage of the World Cup in Italy.
Teenage singer Sean Kingston stayed at number one with Beautiful Girls, while Hard-Fi's Once Upon A Time In The West entered the album chart at the top.
Pavarotti also enjoyed two number one albums - the Essential Pavarotti in 1990 and 1991 - but his last success in the singles chart was in October 1992, when Miserere made number 15.
