Mikey’s Reload Top 40 Chart – 29th October, 2006

Chart Commentary
All change at the top this week, Shazney, Melanie, Natalie and Nicole aka All Saints take the No.1 spot with their new R&B / funky track‘ Rock Steady’, the first taster of their long awaited third album 'Studio 1'. Madonna jumps literally to No.2, with her infectious new single ‘Jump’, my favourite track from her best selling album ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’. Three and half minutes of Romeo, Michele, Angela and Sean otherwise known as Magic Numbers at their most frenetic, 'Take A Chance' is a gloriously melodic collision of harmonies, rattling drums and breakneck guitars residing at No.7. It's a tale of temptation and desire that skids into a stomping chorus that keeps on peaking. Las Vegas quartet Panic! At The Disco with their brand new single ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’ from their debut album 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out', climbing inside the top 10 at No.8. Is a belting guitar rock song which starts along at a furious pace while still remembering to include a melody, it is a bit 'emo'-ish, but you don't have to wear black masacra to appreciate it. The highest new entry of 6, enters the chart at No.18 for 3 sassy girls, Keisha, Amelle & Heidi better known as The Sugababes with 'Easy' is the sound of Sugababes at their salacious best; sexual innuendos writhe around slick electro beats, with the girls delivering their most sensual vocal performance to date, taken from their "best of" album 'Overloaded'. U2 with Green Day, Lucie Silvas, The Klaxons, Simon Webbe and Depeche Mode, make up the rest of the new entries in this weeks Top 40.
