Commentary


Yet again, an unchanging Top 3 this weeks sees the Scissor Sisters, Snow Patrol and The Feeling staying exactly where they were last week. The Scissors have now spent a total of 6 weeks at the top of my chart, a record for the year so far. Their new album, ‘Tah Dah’ is released on Monday, and this should give their already high profile another boost. Now you have read all this, go and visit their forum and celebrate! September rise to Number 4 with ‘Satellites’ which is now apparently released this Monday, and I wonder if this tune will ever be released here now. Nelly Furtado rises to 5 with ‘Promiscuous’, another act to benefit from Charlotte Church’s new show, where Nelly was a guest last Friday. Still with me? If so, there are another 4 movers in the Top 10 this week!

Kasabian rise to a new peak of Number 7, with the ever rumbling ‘Empire’, Evanescence leap to 8 with ‘Call Me When You Are Sober’, Embrace follow up ‘Natures law’ with new single ‘Target’ at 9 and The Killers continue their rise at Number 10 with ‘When You Were Young’. Phew!

Finally this week, there are two new entries from The Automatic at Number 16, following up the mega selling ‘Monster’ with the re-released ‘Recover’. I doubt this will have the same success with the hill mounting ‘Monster’, but we shall see. Lupe Fiasco has sampled ‘Daydream In Blue’ (as have I Monster and The Beta Band before him) at Number 17, and turned it into ‘Daydreamin’, fusing gentle RnB with vocals from Jill Scott.
