In this weeks edition of the charts, Basshunter refuse to give up their No 1 slot. The industry must’ve forgot to tell them Adele was scheduled for that position. Oops!
In other news, Nickelback stay in the charts for a surprisingly long time. David Jordan is a new and very welcome addition to the chart, and in what can only be described as an act of pop terrorism, people have bought enough Wet Wet Wet singles to allow them to chart. What is the world coming to? Answers on a postcard to the usual address please.
- Basshunter - Now You’re Gone: Wow, a phenomenal five weeks at number one for Basshunter. We didn’t see that one coming!
- Nickelback - Rockstar: Chad and the boys are the only band shining a light for the rock movement in this week’s top ten. But why does this feel like a novelty record instead of good rock?
- Adele - Chasing Pavements: At this point, Adele should give up her hopes of getting to number one with this song. But keep chasing those pavements love…
- Rihanna - Don’t Stop The Music: Cute, fun club track from Rihanna. I find myself trying to describe Rihanna’s appeal in intellectual terms, but the bottom line is - perfect pop.
- David Jordan - Sun Goes Down: Only had my first proper listen to this song tonight, but it’s not bad. I love the injection of Indian influences and more conventional instruments, and David’s voice is excellent. Check out his website.
- Kelly Rowland - Work: Still impressed with Kelly’s transformation into a dancefloor goddess. One of the best disco tracks I’ve heard in ages.
- Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor: The much-loved Hot Chip return with a musical and video oddity. Watch out for dancing girls given the Damien Hirst treatment (i.e. cut in half).
- Britney Spears - Piece Of Me: Skanky Spears remains in the top ten, despite probably the least airplay I’ve noticed in ages. And I still can’t get past that “even with a kid on my arm” line. Whatta tramp.
- Lupe Fiasco ft Matthew Santos - Superstar: Says a lot about Kanye’s collaboration with Chris Martin when this track by Kanye’s protege outperformed it. Deservedly sticking it out in the top ten.
- Wet Wet Wet - Weightless: Straight out of nowhere! What is this, the bloody 90’s? Never underestimate the geriatric record buying public.
