From Music Week Report

 

In a close fought battle for singles chart supremacy, The Sugababes’ About You Now overturned an early lead by Shayne Ward’s No U Hang Up/If That’s OK With You to finish 624 sales ahead and end a 19 week strangehold on the chart’s top slot by overseas acts.

 

 

Released physically today (1st), About You Now is Sugababes’ sixth number one, following Freak Like Me (2002), Round Round (2002), Hole In The Head (2003), Push The Button (2005) and Walk This Way (with Girls Aloud, 2007). Their 19th Top 40 hit in all, it sold 34,068 copies last week to bring their tally of singles sales to more than 2m. Biggest contributors: Push The Button (375,388 sales), Freak Like Me (260,983) and Round Round (244,327). About You Now is the first single from Sugababes’ sixth album, Change, released next Monday (8th).

 

They are the first UK act to have a number one since McFly in May, and provide only the fourth instance of a number one powered by downloads alone, emulating Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy, Mika’s Grace Kelly and Rihanna’s Umbrella.

 

On the day Radio One is 40, two Top 40 chart records are shattered.

 

Sugababes’ About You Now, rockets 35-1 on download sales to complete the biggest ever jump to the summit from within the Top 40, beating the previous 33-1 record established by Captain Sensible’s cover of the South Pacific song Happy Talk in 1982.
