Mikey’s Top 40 Reload Chart

Chart #189 – 30/12/2007

Chart Commentary

Amy Winehouse remains at No.1 for a 4th week with ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ taken from her best selling album of the year ‘Back To Black’ other outstanding tracks from the album are ‘Tears Dry On Their Home’, ‘Rehab’ and ‘Wake Up Alone’, one of the best albums of the year. Another week at No.2 for three sassy girls Keisha, Heidi and Amelle better known as the Sugababes with ‘Change’ taken from their album of the same name as the single, and notable tracks on the album are ‘Denial’ and the addictive ‘About You Now’ I can’t even spot a bad track on the album, its quite a poppy album and easy to listen to. Robyn moves up 6 places to No.3 with her brand new single ‘Be Mine’, another stand out track from her after 2 top 10 hits earlier in the year in my personal chart with ‘With Every Heartbeat’ and ‘Handle Me’. All three tracks can also be found on her self titled album ‘Robyn’.

The highest new entry of 7 enters the chart at No.4 for an upcoming fresh new talent and probably the face of 2008, by the name of Adele, she follows her last hit ‘ Hometown Glory’ with ‘Chasing Pavements taken from her forthcoming debut studio album ‘19’. 2008 will be her year, one of the best new music artist to hit our British music industry; she is also up for a new Brit Award as the Critics Choice of 2008. The highest climber of the week goes to Brighton’s UK based indie quartet, British Sea Power at No.12 with ‘Waving Flags’ taken from their new studio album ‘Do You Like Rock Music’.

The Maccabees, Radiohead, Hot Chip, Lily Allen (…and yes Mister Blue Sky is a cover version of the ELO 80s hit Mr. Blue Sky), Booty Luv and The Wombats make up the rest of the new entries in this week’s Top 40 Chart. And check out the new feature added to my top 40 weekly chart, exclusive track of the week.
