Mikey’s Reload Top 40 Chart– 27th August, 2006

Chart Commentary
At the beginning of the week Scissor Sisters were comfortably numb sitting at No.1 (pardon the pun), and a turn of events after 9 weeks in the chart, Snow Patrol finally peak at No.1 with their star quality anthem ‘Chasing Cars’ taken from their ground breaking best selling album ‘Eyes Open’ of their career, a hook laden epic ballad that builds into a fine and beautiful track, one of the stand out tracks of the year, earning them the second No.1 this year after ‘You’re All I Have’ which peaked at No.1 for 3 weeks. Scissor Sisters remain at No.2 for the third week with ‘I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ taken from their soon to be release, second studio album ‘Ta-Dah’ it’s an infectious track waiting to burst on your ear drums. Nelly Furtado climbs 14 places to No.6 with her hit ‘Promiscuous’ collaborating with Timbaland, taken from her third studio album ‘Loose’, another stand out track from her album, which set to rock the charts alight and still keeping up the music fashion with her previous hit ‘Maneater’. The highest climber of the week goes to The Fratellis, 21 places to No.8, with a hint of glam and a dash of 60's influenced songwriting, 'Chelsea Dagger' offers a new twist on the current crop of youthful UK Indie bands, taken form their forthcoming debut album, 'Costello Music'. The highest new entry of 7 comes from Pink with her new infectious track ‘U + Ur hand’ in at No.7, taken from her chart-topping album 'I'm Not Dead'. Pink starts and ends the track with some sexy chanting in true Pink style and the thrashing guitars and hard rock drums build up nicely to an unforgettable catchy chorus. 'U + Ur Hand' is a sure-fire radio hit. Lostprophets, Embrace, Robbie Williams, Lemar, Jealousy feat. Mani Hoffman and Basement Jaxx, make up the rest of the new entries in this week’s Top 40 chart.
