<-- pullout-links-->Speaking to the BBC News website, 26-year-old Murs put his popularity down to "the fact that Im quite confident but Im also an entertainer".
"Im the same person in every single performance that I do," he said.
"Im able to showcase my personality in my music so thats probably why people like me."
In the album chart, Mercury-nominated rock band Biffy Clyro climbed from number 27 to number three with Only Revolutions - one place behind last weeks number one Recovery, by Eminem.
There were also new entries in the album chart for Man Alive, by Everything Everything, at 17, and Richard Thompsons Dream Attic, at number 20.
