Pendulum electro-house spin-off project Knife Party have topped America's dance charts this week, with their EP Haunted House shooting to the top of Billboard's Dance/Electronic Album chart.

It is the third EP from the duo of Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen and bulleted from its position of nine, where it debuted last week. The EP jumps ahead of last week's number one, will.i.am's #willpower, which dropped to three, and Armin Van Buuren's Intense which held at two.

There was also a rise for sibling duo Nervo, whose Hold On rose to ten in its fifth week on the Dance/Club Play charts. The Melbourne-raised, London-based outfit have been a regular name in the US charts since the second half of 2012. They've also written tracks for David Guetta and Kelly Rowland.

Gold Coast's Stafford Brothers have held at 13 in the same chart this week with Hello, which features Lil Wayne and Christina Milian.
