SHAW singer Jodie Connor has spent a second week at Number One after beating off stiff competition from her chart rivals.
The 29-year-old features on Roll Deep’s hit “Good Times”, which held on to the top spot despite challenges from Plan B and Chipmunk.
Roll Deep is a London-based group of rappers and singers whose past members include Dizzee Rascal, Tinchy Stryder and Wiley.
Jodie shot to fame in 2003 after making it into the final 50 on TV talent show “Pop Idol”.
The songstress, who went to Saddleworth School and Oldham College, beat 20,000 hopefuls to reach the live shows but failed to clinch a top 10 spot.
