Scissor Sisters enjoy second week reign on UK charts

02 October 2006 - 13:22:14

 

Double tops again for the Scissor Sisters who are number one on the singles chart for the fourth straight week with I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ , while Ta-Dah enjoys a second week of domination at the top of the album chart, writes Alan Jones.

 

Although Madonna was the last US act to maintain simultaneous superiority on the two charts for a fortnight as recently as last November, when single Hung Up and album Confessions On A Dance Floor paired up, it’s a great deal longer since an American group turned the trick.

 

In fact, it was last achieved when Blondie’s reign with single Heart Of Glass and parent album Parallel Lines overlapped by two weeks in February 1979. And unlike The Scissor Sisters, Blondie weren’t entirely American at the time - bass player Nigel Harrison, no longer with the group, hails from Stockport.

 

It’s the second long-standing record previously held by Blondie that The Scissor Sisters have taken - their self-titled debut album was the biggest-seller of 2004, the first album of new material by an American group to take the annual sales title since the aforementioned Parallel Lines topped the 1979 tabulations.

 

With sales last week of 32,338 for I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ and 134,953 for Ta-Dah - dips of 23.6% and 52.3% week-on-week - The Scissor Sisters’ continued domination of both charts was never in doubt. The Killers’ When You Were Young remains their closest rival on the singles chart but suffered a 33.6% dip in sales to 19,045 last week, while The Fratellis’ third week at number two on the album chart was attended by sales off 12% at 45,053 - barely a third of Ta-Dah’s tally.

 

Both Scissor Sisters discs are making excellent progress in the year-to-date rankings, with I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ climbing 12-8 with cumulative sales of 217,251, while Ta-Dah jumps 35-15 with a 13 day sales tally of 423,274.
