Anyone else finding it hard to get excited about music at the moment? For every decent track out there, there’s a moment of utter dirge. For every American Boy, there’s a Heartbeat.
One song I’m loving at the moment is Daddy-O by Wideboys and Shaznay Lewis. It’s a frantic dance track with Shaznay at her most annoyingly catchy - she really was the best thing in All Saints.
As for this week’s chart, it’s a hit and miss affair, so let’s get it started:
Was Duffy’s caterwauling driving you up the walls too? Thankfully, Estelle has knocked her off the #1 spot this week, with a little help from her friend, Mr West. Just another reason to love Kanye.
In other news, the big names are still holding steady in the chart - Leona, OneRepublic, Nickelback. Alphabeat, unfortunately, slip out of the top ten this week. Darn.
No. I’m not doing it. You can’t make me. I am NOT regurgitating the charts from last week. I already told you I was sick of that. Let’s just chat among ourselves, eh?
Duffy’s still at number one. I hate that song. It’s exactly the opposite of Winehouse’s Rehab. In Rehab, you’ve got Amy booming out “No No No”, whereas with Mercy, you’ve got Duffy bleating “Yeah Yeah Yeah”. Let’s imagine that Duffy’s career goes in the opposite direction - she’ll do nothing interesting, then the press will totally lose interest in her.
Welcome back for another run down of the UK’s top ten! In this edition, I’m going to moan about how hard it is to write the chart run-down when the tunes stay the same each week.
Nickelback, Rihanna and Kelly Rowland have been hanging around the chart for weeks and weeks, and I have officially run out of things to say about these singles. So, spare me the mental block and fill in your own thoughts in the comments, eh?
Ooooohhh kaaaayyy! It’s the first official chart of 2008, and a numpty sits at the top, waiting to be toppled from his perch. Please, Gods of Music, grant me this one wish - make him disappear quickly and painlessly.
I didn’t write about the pop charts for a couple of weeks. Why? Because the top ten hasn’t changed much at all.
But don’t worry folks, there’s a spate of new releases in January that I’m counting to work like a laxative and create some movement in the top ten!
Ha ha, this is the week that Christmas songs started to infiltrate the pop charts. Thanks to the new download rules, people flocking to download Christmas classics are causing songs by The Pogues and Mariah Carey to re-enter the charts!
Still, Leona Lewis’ death grip on the number one position holds for yet another week. I’m finding myself wondering if she’ll hang on long enough to beat whoever wins X Factor this year!
The hype machines have been running full tilt for the last fortnight for both Take That and Leona Lewis. While my money was on the ‘Thatters taking the #1 with their triumphant Rule The World, it is the pretty X Factor starlet who rules the charts this week…
Another week at number 1 for the Sugababes, disappearances from Plain White T’s, Sean Kingston and Feist. Shocking new appearances from Britney Spears and Mika.
The Sugababes have made it a massive three weeks at the Number 1 spot! All other girl groups bow down before their skinny pins!
Welcome to the UK Top Ten for 14th October 2007. Watching the UK pop chart, you’d be forgiven for thinking that nothing changes from week to week. Top Ten acts generally hang around forever while the rejects tend to fluctuate wildly without a hope of the #1 spot.
Not much change in the UK top 10 this week. Standout tracks are Stronger by Kanye, The Pretender by Foo fighters and Shut Up And Drive by Rihanna. Delivery by Babyshambles seems to be getting a fair bit of attention, and rightly so. It’s a vindication of all the hype that we’ve heard about Pete Doherty this last few years.
