Cian'S Monthly Review

Cian'S Monthly Review: June 2012

It's June, and probably due to my holiday in Europe, this month's total plays suffer a further 19% decrease.

For the third time in a row a female solo artist tops the chart. This time Paloma Faith maintains Nicki Minaj and Marina & The Diamonds' girl power reign at #1. Paloma Faith is only the 5th female artists to do so (Adele and KT Tunstall being the only other two). Female solo artist have 5 #1s, male solo artists 6 and groups/duos 7. (If Florence & The Machine count as a group). Despite the low total plays this month, Paloma Faith sees the highest % of total plays since March of 2011 when the Vaccines topped the chart with 11% of total plays.

B.o.B who has been lurking outside the Top 20 since 2010 finally penetrates the wall of the Top 20 and reaches #2 this month on the back of the album "Strange Clouds". "Out Of My Mind" from that album also made it into the Top 10 songs this month also.

After 10 months in the chart, Maroon 5 reach a new peak of 3, thanks to the realease of "Overexposed", the new pop album by Maroon 5. Maroon 5 have never failed to have an album #1 on the weekly charts and I do hope they tour with "Overexposed".

6 former #1s land back in the Top 10 this month Nicki Minaj, Marina & the Diamonds, Jay-Z & Kanye West, Kanye West & Maverick Sabre all climb back into the Top 10, a place where, between the 5 acts, have spend a total of 64 weeks.

This month sees the first entrance of Cheryl Cole, Loreen, Fun. & Pernilla Karlsson into the Top 30. Loreen & Pernilla Karlsson see their first week in the Top 300 in the Top 30 which is an achievement earned by very few acts. The Eurovision Song Concert is to be thanked for this achievement.

Fun. should be a climber next month with the album "Some Nights" set to be listened to.

Total Plays this month: 926 down 19.965%
