Commentary

Well, a surprise at the top this week, as Snow Patrols amazing ‘Chasing Cars’ rises to Number 1 after 3 weeks at Number 2. Chasing Cars has grown on me considerably this week, from its use at the end of Big Brother, to the indications that it will rise again in the Official chart this week. It truly is an amazing special song. This means that the Scissor Sisters drop to Number 2, but im sure they will be on the rise again soon! Cascada sticks at 3 for the third successive and the much maligned ‘Crystal Ball’ by Keane has stayed at 4.

The Feeling rise to Number 5 this week with ‘Never Be Lonely’, the third single from their excellent album ‘Twelve Stops and Home’ and I have a ‘feeling’ (groan) that this will be on the rise next week! Muse rise to Number 8 with the brilliant ‘Starlight’, probably my favourite track from their Number 1 album ‘Black Holes and Revelations’. I hope this follows ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ into the Top 10 on its release next month. September have a new entry at 9 with ‘Satellites’, a dance tune that has been knocking around Europe since early 2005, and is finally set for a UK release in mid-September. This dance tune is along the same lines as Cascada and Infernal, and time will tell if ‘Satellites’ is as successful. Finally in the Top 10, Matt Willis rises to Number 10 with the excellent ‘Hey Kid’, the follow up to ‘Up All Night’.

Pink’s new stormer, ‘U + Ur Hand’ about a man and his, ahem, hand, is a new entry at Number 17 this week, and should be her third Top 10 hit this year. Finally this week, Evanescence return from a long break with their new tune ‘Call Me When You’re Sober’, a new entry at Number 23.
