Posted August 23, 201015 yr Cruz's Dynamite to make chart explosion Source: MW 10:52 | Tuesday August 24, 2010 By Paul Williams Eminem has been standing in the way of Taio Cruz from scoring a second US number one, but the Brit looks like exacting his revenge on the rapper this weekend by beating him to the top of the UK singles chart. Singles Cruz’s Dynamite, which has been sat at number two for a fortnight on the Billboard Hot 100 behind Love The Way You Lie by Eminem featuring Rihanna, is now in a very strong position to debut at one in the UK this coming Sunday, according to OCC figures. If it stays the course it will be Cruz’s second UK number one following Break Your Heart, which was also a US chart-topper. The 4th & Broadway/Island single is outselling by nearly three to one Polydor’s Eminem/Rihanna single, which is currently the week’s second biggest seller, the same position it held on last Sunday’s chart. Fewer than 1,000 sales behind Love The Way You Lie in third spot sits the Atlantic-issued Club Can’t Handle Me by Flo-Rida featuring David Guetta, while Relentless/Virgin’s Roll Deep single Green Light, which debuted at one on Sunday, is down in fourth place. Dynamite is one of four brand new releases occupying Top 10 positions at this stage of the week with Rinse Recordings’ Katy B ranked fifth with Katy On A Mission, Vertigo/Mercury’s first Brandon Flowers solo single Crossfire eighth and Atlantic’s hotly-tipped and Radio 2 favourite Rumer 10th with Slow. The Top 40 should also see the arrival of Major Label/RCA act Hurts’ Wonderful Life, Future Records/Mercury’s Aggro Santos with his follow-up to Candy, Saint Or Sinner, Columbia-handled Kesha with Take It Off and Polydor’s Taylor Momsen-fronted US rock band Pretty Reckless with Miss Nothing. Albums While the path to the top of the UK singles chart looks blocked off to him, Eminem could find himself back at the top of the artist albums chart this Sunday with Recovery. The Polydor album, which has already spent six weeks at the top in three separate runs, is leading the pack at this point in the week by around 2,300 sales with EMI act Iron Maiden’s The Final Frontier second, having debuted at one last Sunday. Just behind the metal veterans in third spot is 679/Atlantic’s Plan B with The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, while Surfing The Void, Polydor signings the Klaxons’ newly-released follow-up to their Mercury winner Myths Of The New Future is fourth. In fifth spot currently is the brand new album from Eels, the Cooperative Music/V2-handled Tomorrow Morning. Eels have only twice before made the UK Top 10, most successfully with Beautiful Freak, which reached number five in 1997. In a busy week for new albums also expect new entries this week from Vertigo/Mercury’s One Night Only, AATW/UMTV’s Darren Styles, a Sony Bay City Rollers compilation, Paylo’s Union and Roadrunner’s Black Label Society. Columbia’s Lissie, meanwhile, could climb into the Top 40 with Catching A Tiger. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Taio Cruz 2 Eminem/Rihanna (1k ahead) 3 Flo Rida/David Guetta 4 Roll Deep 5 Katy B Top 10 8 Brandon Flowers 10 Rumer Top 20 17 Hurts Aggro Santos Top 30 30 Ke$ha Top 40 34 Pretty Reckless 40 Leona Lewis ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Eminem (2.3k ahead) 2 Iron Maiden 3 Plan B 4 Klaxons 5 Eels Top 10 Lady GaGa Top 15 Ellie Goulding Florence & The Machine Top 20 17 One Night Only Top 30 Lady Antebellum 24 Darren Styles Bay City Rollers Union David Guetta 30 Kings Of Leon Top 40 Black Label Society Lisse NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles NeYo 4+5 Saturdays 5+6 Eliza 7+7 Inna 9+9 Katy Perry 14+7 Enrique 12+12 Lady GaGa 29+4 Albums Arcade Fire 3+3 Saturdays 3+4 Mumford & Sons 6+6 XX 7+7 Alcia Keys 14+7 Pixie Lott 14+14 Kylie 17+17

August 24, 201015 yr i hope the Saturdays can stay top 20 with both Missing You and Headlines. provided Headlines stays top 20, i will be content that history isn't repeating itself :)
August 24, 201015 yr Hopefully Katy B will be top 5 in today's update, and Brandon top 10. Also hoping we'll have at least 8 new entries in the top 40, if not 9 (Stromae is the possible 9th, he's top 40 on iTunes again) This is assuming of course we actually get iTunes info in the update today -_-
August 24, 201015 yr Author Any bets that iTunes data is missing :magic: let's hope Roll Deep is not #1
August 24, 201015 yr i hope the Saturdays can stay top 20 with both Missing You and Headlines. Easy hoping. The album is never going to drop from 3 to outside the top20. And same with the single, it's #11 on Itunes.
August 24, 201015 yr I hope Sky Ferreira can crack the Top40 by the end of the week for some ridiculous reason. Such a great track, shouldn't go to the "poptastic tunes which nobody seemed to care about" bin along Mini Viva's singles. BAH :banghead: On the other side we have Taio Cruz and another DIY track going for #1. :coffee: Woohoo for quality tracks!! :nocheer: I reckon Katy B should land at #3 somehow, and Brandon should be #6. I hope Hurts are Top30 too... or even Top20! :D Edited August 24, 201015 yr by Vülker
August 24, 201015 yr Don't like the Katy B track. Sky should be top 40 though -_-. The power of Eminem's album continues to be fantastic! Looks like another low week if there's no new entries in the album top 3. Taio's song is generic and nothing special but it's also insanely catchy and is possibly the best #1 since Airplanes tbh. Edited August 24, 201015 yr by GrAmii
August 24, 201015 yr Katy B top 5 :w00t: Not surprised Rumer is top 10 today, she'll fall out by Sunday though. Hopefully Hurts can hold top 20. Eminem back at #1 yet again, I predict he'll set a new low for 1-week #1 sales for 2010... but can he go sub-Last Broadcast week 2? We shall find out. ;o
August 24, 201015 yr Are Yolanda Be Cool at 1+2+3 and Billionaire at 8-1 to complete the top 10? Edited August 24, 201015 yr by Bray
August 24, 201015 yr Author Are Yolanda Be Cool at 1+2+3 and Billionaire at 8-1 to complete the top 10? Right on both counts ;)
August 24, 201015 yr OMFG @ Hurts :wub: :o Obviously it's frontloaded and will fall during the week, but future generations will know that for one brief moment on Tuesday, 24 August 2010, the UK had taste in music :kink:
August 24, 201015 yr Wow! Leona actually made it! :o I'd be astounded if she lasted until Sunday though.
August 24, 201015 yr Author One Night Only, Kylie, Prof. Green, Plan B, Drake, Jason Derulo (RS), Shakira, JLS, Devlin have left the top 40 singles chart from last week. Which makes it a total of 9 new entries. One of those is a re-entry for Leona, she will probably drop out by tomorrow. So there is still a possibility of 9 new entries if Stromae appears later in the week.
August 24, 201015 yr So pleased The Saturdays are holding up in the Top 10 albums considering their last album slumped from #9 to ##40 the week after release!
