Tine Tempah - Pass Out stays at #1

So staying at #1 for a second week is rapper Tine Tempah as he continues to make everyone pass out ... with excitement or with annoyance! With lyrics such as "I've got so many clothes I keep some at my aunt's house" and "I've been to Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe", he could hardly fail. Some thought that Rude Boy could rise another place to #1 for Rihanna, in the end the track is likely to become her 6th such single to peak at #2.

 

Justin Bieber feat Ludacris - Baby enters at #3

Teen star Justin Bieber gets a second hit this week, coming just 7 weeks after his debut single One Time which peaked at a slightly lower than expected #11. Rather than releasing another single from his album My World, he has opted to release brand new track Baby and re-release his album in a week's time calling it My Worlds. It seems that this has paid off and given Justin a top 3 smash, entering as it does at #3 this week giving Rihanna and Tinie a run for their money. The track features rapper Ludacris, making Baby his biggest featuring track since the Usher collaboration Yeah hit #1 in 2004.

 

Gabriella Cilmi - On A Mission enters at #9

Australian singer songwriter Gabriella cilmi first made a name for herself on these shores with her debut single Sweet about Me, which when first released peaked in the low top 40. However that changed as the track was used in adverts for Sure and Dove Bodywash, then after re-release peaked at #6. Followups Save The Lies (#33), Sanctuary (flop) and Warm This Winter (#22) somewhat struggled. Now however she is back to prove that she is On A Mission, she has accomplished another top 10 hit then.

 

McLean - My Name enters at #10

English born singer McLean gets his very first top 40 hit this week entering at #10, his full name is Anthony McLean. He has released a single called Broken which failed to chart as it was on an independent label, McLean has also worked with MJ Cole and Chase & Status in the past. This is not to be confused with a well known toothpaste brand or a song title by Eminem (My Name Is).

 

Lady Gaga feat Beyonce - Telephone climbs to #12

This week Telephone, the much hyped duet between US mega-stars Lady Gaga and Beyonce gets a massive boost and leaps up the charts to #12 after a somewhat sluggish start. This can be attributed to increasing airplay and exposure, and more so that the video for the track has finally been released and prompted people to buy the single. Telephone is fully released this week, which could well see it top the chart next week (top 5 is almost certain though).

 

Steve Aoki feat Zuper Blahq - I'm In The House enters at #29

New dance track of the week enters at #29 for US club DJ Steve Aoki who proclaims that he is in the house, well he is certainly in the chart. Steve has produced and performed many underground club hits in the past, this is however his first commercial breakthrough, featuring Zuper Blahq who is actually Will i Am from Black Eyed Peas (whose Rock That Body rises to #15 this week).

 

This week's amost hits!

Missing out this week, perhaps rather surpisingly is Goldfrapp with their comeback single Rocket which cannot rocket up the charts very far it seems! Glasgow singer Amy MacDonald released her second album this week and the single from it fails to match the success of debut Mr Rock & Roll and This Is The Life. Morning Sun becomes Robbie Williams first ever single to miss the top 40, however there is still hope as the track is the official Sports Relief single. Agnes goes On and On but misses the top 40 and Norah Jones is Stuck outside the top 40 once again.

 

Boyzone - Brother tops the album chart

This week there was a 3 way battle for the #1 album, emerging victorious are Irish boyband Boyzone whose tribute to the late Stephen Gately entitled Brother enters in at #1. Just behind at #2 is the third album from virtual cartoon group Gorillaz, containing new single Stylo and following up #3 debut and #1 Demon Days. Scottish singer songwriter Amy MacDonald enters at #4 with second album A Curious thing which follows up her chart topping debut This Is The Life. Entering at #10 is Andrew Lloyd Webber's soundtrack to his new musical Love Never Dies. The ever popular Simply Red climb up to #12 with their compilation of love songs, being sold exclusively by Tesco. Lemar also enters inside the top 20 with his album entitled Hits which as its name suggests is a hits compilation containing all the hits from Dance With You and If There's Any Justice right up to the Way Love Goes.

 

Personal opinion of me!

I still hate that Tinie Tempah rubbish that's still at #1 but also hate Justin Bieber's new one even if it is better than his last One Time. However I am pleasantly surprised to see Gabriella Cilmi get another top 10 hit with the brilliantly catchy new song On A Mission. I also quite like My Name from McLean, also Telephone is growing on me a lot recently. I don't like I'm In The House by Steve Aoki at all, there again I'm no fan of that sort of music anyway. Don't care too much for Boyzone or Gorillaz, I'd much rather have seen the brilliant Amy Macdonald at #1 in the albums. Also gutted that Goldfrapp's great new song flopped.

 

You like that McLean rubbish? :o

 

I didn't like Telephone much at first but it is growing on me so I agree with you there.

 

Can't agree about Gorillaz though. Damon Albarn is incapable of making a bad album

Well My Name's certainly not the best song around granted, maybe a bit generic. I don't mind it, there's a lot worse (Tinie, Bieber and all that Glee rubbish).

 

I wasn't keen on Telephone at first but it is certainly growing on me now it's getting more airplay, still not Gaga or Beyonce's best work though.

 

There's no denying Gorillaz music is quite different to anything else around, but their music has never really done much for me for some reason. I do still like Dare and Feel Good Inc but that's about it really! :rolleyes:
