#1 is Written In The Stars for Tinie Tempah

Rapper Tinie Tempah scores his second number one hit this week as new release Written In The Stars storms in at the top, as widely expected. This follows hot on the heals of chart topper Pass Out and #2 Frisky, which was beaten to the top by charity single Shout For England. Tinie has been one of 2010’s big successes and is due to release his debut album Disc-Overy next week. So judging on the huge success of the 3 singles so far, I would expect that to challenge for #1 and several cherry picked tracks to appear in next week’s singles chart.

 

Labrinth – Let The Sun Shine enters at #3

So the battle for supremacy this week was always set to be between Tinie Tempah and his collaborator Timothy McKenzie, going under the name Labrinth. London based singer Labrinth is currently signed to Simon Cowell’s label Syco and is his first non-talent show in over 6 years. He is best known for collaborating with Tinie Tempah on his previous 2 hits and now he releases his debut solo single in the same week as Tinie. Let The Sun Shine debuts at #3 this week, I wish he could to improve our weather!

 

Adele – Make You Feel My Love reenters at #4

Talking of Simon Cowell, his X-Factor programme is responsible for Adele’s reapperence this week at #5, as the track was performed on there once more. Adele first charted in 2008 with #2 hit Chasing Pavements and 2 subsequent top 20 hits then Make You Feel My Love made #26. A few weeks ago, her cover of the Bob Dylan song reentered at a new peak of #24 but still remained Adele’s smallest hit. That all changes now as she gets her 2nd highest peak ever and her 2nd top 5 hit, almost 3 years since her first.

 

Enrique Iglesias feat Nicole Scherzinger – Heartbeat climbs to #8

After entering the chart at #13 last week, Heartbeat now climbs into the top 10 for Enrique Iglesias alongside Nicole Scherzinger. This is now Enrique’s 7th top 10 hit in total, following on from the still charting I Like It. Heartbeat is Nicole’s 10th (including 8 Pussycat Dolls hits and P Diddy’s Come To Me).

 

Kylie Minogue – Get Outta My Way enters at #12

Aussie pint sized superstar Kylie Minogue returns to the charts for the second time this year, albeit slightly lower than she is accustomed to charting. Get Outta My Way is the second release from her current Aphrodite album, following up the #3 smash All The Lovers. This is now Kylie’s 43rd top 20 hit since her 1987 debut I Should Be So Lucky, in fact only 2008’s The One missed the top 20 in her entire career. Not bad for a lady who has been written off more times than I remember.

 

Wombats – Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves) enters at #23

Indie band the Wombats return to the chart this week with their brand new release entitled Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves). This follows on in the same vain as 2007 top 20 hits Let’s Dance To Joy Division and Moving To New York, latter being their biggest hitting #13. Tokyo is the first track to be taken from the bands upcoming second album, due for release in the coming weeks.

 

LZ7 – This Little Light enters at #26

The #26 new entry this week comes from a Christian urban music collective entitled LZ7 with their single This Little Light. This is another charity single for the Message Trust campaign Shine Your Light, aiming to unleash the potential of today’s youth. Like Delirious earlier on this year, this is also the result of an online campaign to get Christian music into the mainstream charts, and raise money for charity at the same time.

 

Status Quo – In The Amry Now 2010 enters at #31

Now for another charity song, this time from veterans Status Quo who make a return to the top 40 this week, in aid of the Help For Heros charity. The Quo made their debut back in 1968 with Pictures Of Matchstick Men and have amassed a total of 22 top 10 hits in their career, including #1 hit Down Down. One of these hits was 1986’s In The Army Now which originally made #2 and has now been rerecorded for the Help For Heros charity, to help our war heros in Afghanistan and other dangerous places.

 

Danny Bird – Ill Behaviour enters at #36

A very badly behaved Danny Bird gets his very first top 40 hit this week, a new entry at #xx this week with Ill Behaviour! Danny Bird is a drum & bass DJ from Bath in Somerset, who was one of the first artists to sign for Hospital Records in 2000. He has released 2 albums and several singles since then but none have made a chart impact, until now. Ill Behaviour is taken from Danny’s forthcoming 3rd album Rave Digger, due for release shortly.

 

KT Tunstall – (Still A) Wierdo enters at #39

Scottish singer songwriter Kate Victoria Tunstall returns to the charts this week at #39 under the better known name of KT Tunstall. KT first came to prominence in 2004 with The Black Horse & The Cherry Tree, 2 top 20 hits Other Side Of the World and Suddenly I See followed that year along with her debut album Eye To The Telescope. Second album Drastic Fantastic only spawned one top 40 hit Hold On which made #21. Now scrapes into the top 40 at #39 with her new release (Still A) Wierdo, taken from her third studio album.

 

The Script return to #1 with Science & Faith[/u]

The script have proven to have a very successful second album as Science & Faith returns to #1 after being knocked off by Phil Collins last week, who is going back down to #3 now. Mark Ronson gets his second #2 album as his Record Collection enters at #2, alongside various collaborators known as Business Intl. The Central Band of the RAF enter at #4 with their collection entitled Reach For The Stars. KT Tunstall debuts at #5 with album #3 tiger Suit, following up her first 2 studio albums which peaked at #3 in 2004 and 2007 respectively. Eric Clapton makes #7 with his 19th solo studio album entitled Clapton, his highest charting album since 2001’s Reptile. Simply Red return at #9 with their Greatest Hits following their One Night Only TV show. Other new/re entries come from David Bowie, Neil Young and Jimmy Eat World.

 

Opinion

I don’t like Tinie Tempah at all, I found Pass Out and Frisky very annoying and have the same opinion about this new one … mind you he is a good rapper if you’re into that sort of stuff I guess! On the other hand I have grown to like Labrinth’s solo song Let The Sun Shine and think it should’ve been #1 instead but that was never going to happen. I am happy to see Adele’s beautiful rendition of Make You Feel My Love finally become the top 5 hit it deserves to be. I love Heartbeat by Enrique/Nicole and am glad to see it rise to #8. I am not keen on Kylie’s new one so not surprised it missed top 10, not keen either on Wombats or that LZ7 rubbish. I admit to liking a lot of the Quo’s songs in the past even if they do sound alike, In The Army Now has long been a favourite of mine so good to see it chart, of course good for the charity also. I’ve been a big fan of KT Tunstall up until now but this new one doesn’t do much for me at all, still it’s better than that Danny Bird dirge!

Wouldn't that make it her 11th?

Wouldn't that make it her 11th?

Ah yes that should read 8 Pussycat Dolls hits ... I have corrected it now. Thanks.

Some Kind Of Bliss from 1997 reached No.22 and missed out on the Top 20.
