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?
- Duffy - Mercy: Musical environmentalists rejoice - Duffy’s chart success is a small victory for recycling bygone musical genres and squeezing a few quid for those struggling record companies. Unfortunately, pensioners are wandering around Tesco confused as to what decade they’re in. If we end up with a bunch of Duffy copycats, there’s going to be an epidemic.
- H Two O ft Platnum - What’s It Gonna Be?: A lukewarm urban dance track, not quite as good as others that have been successful in the charts lately.
- Nickelback - Rockstar: Your first opportunity to fill in the blanks. Do you think Nickelback have cheapened themselves with this single (as I do), or will it be good for their careers?
- Basshunter - Now You’re Gone: I predicted that this would promptly disappear from the charts last week, but Basshunter have proved me wrong, so no smug looks on my face peeps. Damn.
- Kylie Minogue - Wow: You’re wow, wow, wow, wow. Hey, you weren’t in the top ten last week, Kylie. Snuck in there off the back of the Brits, did ya?
- Adele - Chasing Pavements: I keep doing u-turns on this song. I love it. Then I think it’s all a big music industry setup - how DARE they tell me Adele’s a great artist? Damn the Brit Academy! DAMN THEM! But it’s pretty catchy, isn’t it? Aaarrggghhh!
- David Jordan - Sun Goes Down: I still like this - David kind of looks a bit like Prince in his quirky dancing and well, he looks a little bit short and intense too. He’s probably not just as weird as all that though.
- Rihanna - Don’t Stop The Music: Yummy Rihanna…oh, you know the deal by now. Insert your own fawning comment about how brilliant Rihanna is, I give up!
- OneRepublic - Stop And Stare: Here we go - OneRepublic have taken the Timbaland stabilisers off, and they’ve cycled into the charts all by themselves! I feel like a proud parent…
- Kelly Rowland - Work*: In contrast to OneRepublic above, it feels like Kelly’s brilliant track got very little airplay. Shockingly little, considering that it’s probably the best damn track in this top ten!
* In the interests of honesty, Work actually came on Radio 1 as I was typing this. And you wonder why I haven’t given up the day job yet…
