Another week, another top 10. Well, except that this week’s top 10 is largely the same as last week’s!
- Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love: I’ve officially lost count - is it four or five weeks at number one? Either way, Leona’s mentor Simon Cowell is looking pretty smug at the moment. Give him his dues, he’s played a blinder with Leona Lewis.
- T2 ft Jodie Aysha - Heartbroken: I groovy bit of urban dance music - dare I resurrect the word ‘garage’? Cute, digitally enhanced stuttering vocal from Jodie Aysha.
- Take That - Rule The World: As I said last time, Gaz Barlow and his mates are superglued to the top five with possibly their best song in years. Hats off to Take That.
- Timbaland ft One Republic - Apologize: Sometimes I wonder if Timbaland is sat at home surrounded by his own CD singles, buying his own records repeatedly just to get them in the charts. This is not one of those times - Apologize is one of the best ballads to grace the charts this year.
- Mark Ronson ft Amy Winehouse - Valerie: It’s time to admit that - rather like Amy’s beehive - this track has seen better days. The shine is wearing off, and I’m itching to hear something new from Mark Ronson.
- Shayne Ward - Breathless: I make it my business never to listen to Shayne Ward tracks unless I’m tied to a table with barbed wire with a laser pointed at my testicles. Me: 1, Bond villians
- Alicia Keys - No One: Keys’ comeback song is an absolute belter (as is Alicia!) and it’s nice to see her so well received after a period of time out of the charts. By the way, this recently made number 1 in America.
- Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts: I thought this might grow on me. I was wrong, so wrong. 2 Hearts is derivative dirge, undeserving of Kylie. I’ve seen a couple of her shows on TV recently, and she’s still not looking 100%. Is she pushing herself too hard after the cancer treatment?
- Girls Aloud - Call The Shots: I can’t remember not being excited about Girls Aloud hitting the charts with their excellent tunes, Nicola’s endearing awkwardness, Cheryl’s ridiculous eye-batting antics and marvelling at how Sarah Harding gets more hard-faced with each new video.
- Sugababes - About You Now: It’ll never be my favourite Sugababes track, but having listened to Freak Like Me recently and finding myself slightly bored, I can appreciate the need for the ‘babes to move on musically.
On another note, I saw that Led Zeppelin have entered the singles chart with Stairway To Heaven this week and last. This has been drastically under reported, considering that Zeppelin went to great pains never to release that track as a single. For it to chart on the strength of hype alone (and no video/airplay) just shows how important this band still is today.
Stairway is at No 39 this week, down two places from last week’s position. Well done the Zep!
