Charts Commentary

It's all change this week as the summer comes to an end and we start getting the big releases again! The big recycling is at its clearest this week at the bottom of the chart with 8 consecutive fallers, including the biggest ever fall out of the top ten care of Justin. To be fair on him, it is a good song, but I've overplayed it so much this summer that he was lucky it didn't happen sooner.

So, with so many songs going out with a bang, it's only fair we get a new number one! Enter the years biggest paradox - I Don't Feel Like Dancin', which, er, actually DOES make me feel like dancin', and is such a great song that just mentioning it made me play it on iTunes and get up and shake my booty around the room, earning me strange looks from people outside as we're washing our net curtains today. Now THAT'S how you know a song is good! The song give the Scissor Sisters their 5th number one, in addition to Laura, Mary, Take Your Mama Out and Filthy/Gorgeous, which is possibly the oddest Xmas number one I have ever had.

The big recycling ushers Alesha, Cherish and Snow Patrol into the top ten. Alesha has been hovering inside the top 20 for a few weeks now, and her physical release gives her the now obligatory hike in the chart. Cherish are an R&B girl group labeled as Ciara wannabes. Well I like Ciara, hence the 25 place climb into the chart - also, the Sean Paul in this track is NOT the Sean Paul you are thinking of, but a member of the YoungBloodz rap group, whoever they are.

Snow Patrol are a group who aren't normally my cup of tea, maybe gaining the odd top 30 hit or two, but their exposure this week from the use of Chasing Cars on the Big Brother finale made it impossible to deny them a top ten place. Strong contender for next weeks number one.

Shakira climbs into the top 20 with her follow-up to her truthful hips, Illegal, a soft number which should do well upon release, even if it is unlikely to emulate her hips' successes.

Coming in at 14 is a cheeky little number from Akon, Smack That, which Eminem is also featured on. I discovered this song yesterday, and the fact that it made it into the top 20 on one day's plays shows that had I discovered this earlier in the week it would almost certainly have made it into the top ten. Along with Snow Patrol, this is a very strong contender for next week's honours.

Also entering the top 20 are Chamillionaire following the physical release of Ridin', Madonna with her re-release of Holiday Jessica Simpson with A Public Affair and JoJo with Too Little, Too Late. See you next week!
