Kaiser Chiefs eye first singles chart-topper

Source: Music week

 

 

Mika’s reign at number one on the UK singles chart with Grace Kelly could be over this weekend as Kaiser Chiefs (pictured) target their first-ever singles chart-topper.

 

Casablanca/Island’s Mika has to date spent five weeks at the top of the countdown, but he faces a renewed challenge from B Unique/Polydor’s Kasier Chiefs whose single Ruby’s sales have been boosted this week by the introduction of a physical format to add to its digital showing.

 

Early retail reports suggest it will be one of Mika and Kaiser Chiefs at number one this Sunday, while chart progress is also predicted for the RCA Label Group’s Fray with How To Save a Life and Kelis featuring Cee Lo’s Virgin-issued Lil Star, which is expected to move into the Top 10 following the release yesterday (Monday) of a physical format.

 

Other tracks expected to make strong chart climbs because of the new availability of a physical format include Fascination/Polydor’s Sophie Ellis-Bextor with Catch You, the RCA Group’s Beyonce with Listen and the Defected-issued Dare Me (Stupidisco) by Junior Jack featuring Shena.

 

Mika’s chart-topping status on albums is also under threat as Brit-winning Amy Winehouse eyes a return to number one with her Island release Back To Black. Mika’s Life In Cartoon Motion faces competition from an array of Brit winners, including Fiction/Polydor’s Snow Patrol with Eyes Open, Vertigo/Mercury’s The Killers with Sam’s Town and Polydor acts Take That (Beautiful World) and James Morrison (Undiscovered), while the RCA Group’s Fray are aiming to add a top five album to a Top 10 single.

 

Their newly-issued How To Save A Life is expected to head the new entries in what is a quiet week for new albums with other arrivals in the Top 40 expected to include Johnny Cash’s Columbia-issued At San Quentin and Lost Highway artist Lucinda Williams with West.

Yeah, but it doesn't exactly give out a lot of info does it? Like exactly which songs are in the top 10, or what album is likely to be no 1 on Sunday. Oh well, I guess we'll have more detail later on. I can wait a bit longer...

Sophie is probably anywhere between 11-40, the report seems to be very vague, it doesn't give a real indication of who is at #1 in both charts

Aw but isn't Sophie supposed to be release physically this week?

I woulda never though that song could miss the top10... :wacko:

 

Any news on The Gossip and Lily Allen singles?

I think Sophie and Beyonce are Top 20, just a process of looking at the chart last Sunday, no news yet on Lily and the Gossip

Cheers Mikey for the informations you post :yahoo: But I want to know somenthing about Killers <_< is it possible they don't enter the top 40, one week before the physical release? "read My mind" sounds just perfect :angry: Any information? :dance: xox.

Read My MInd was #62 last week, it should be in the chart somewhere

Glad to see Mika has been finally knocked from the top! 5 weeks is more than enough!
