Posted January 8, 200818 yr Sweden's Basshunter to snare top of UK singles chart Source: MW Tuesday January 8, 2008 By Paul Williams Dance act Basshunter looks set to follow in the footsteps of fellow Swedes Abba and Ace Of Base by landing a UK number one single. Early retail reports indicate Basshunter, who is Swedish musician and DJ Jonas Erik Altberg, is on course to move from a debut chart position of 14 last Sunday to head the chart this coming weekend with Now You’re Gone. The Hard2Beat/MoS release’s surge up the chart follows the physical debut yesterday of the single. Following a week in which only two songs swapped positions in an otherwise static top seven, two other singles also look like moving into the Top 10 this Sunday: the RCA Label Group’s Britney Spears single Piece Of Me and Def Jam/Mercury’s Don’t Stop The Music by Rihanna. The tracks respectively stood at 19 and 18 in the new singles chart announced last Sunday. In a quiet week for new entries, a novelty take on the Bobby Fuller Four/Clash hit I Fought The Law is challenging to be the week’s highest new entry. The renamed I Fought The Llotds by Oystir is presently at 18 based on midweek sales, one place ahead of Rough Trade’s British Sea Power with Waving Flags. On albums Radiohead’s XL-issued In Rainbows is presently holding out a narrow lead over Polydor act Take That’s Beautiful World, while Ugly Truth/Sony BMG’s Newton Faulkner is looking a good bet to move from his current position of 13 back into the top three this Sunday with Hand Built By Robots. A move into the Top 10 also awaits Epic’s Scouting For Girls with their self-titled debut album. In Rainbows was last week the only brand new entry to the Top 75 and there is likely to be only one such new entry again this week – Charisma/Angel Music Group’s Tom Baxter with Skybound.

January 8, 200818 yr I'm thinking of getting the Tom Baxter album. I love some tracks and can't be bothered with others.
January 8, 200818 yr Could you give an update on how 'Bad News' by Status Quo is doing? Give Mikey a chance the update isn't in yet
January 8, 200818 yr I'm confused ^_^ Is Britney Phsyical this week or next week?!?!? ^_^ Its this week isn't it
January 8, 200818 yr I would love Britney to be #01 but I can't see it happening. I reckon #03/04 for her which is still good considering. The worst she will get is low Top 10 which I can sadly see as a possibility. :(
January 8, 200818 yr Leon surely won't be number 1 again he's down at 8 on iTunes. I can't see him doing more than 15-20k this week Hopefully Basshunter or Britney will get to number 1
January 8, 200818 yr It will be unfortunate if Britney's shameful recent behaviour has hyped the single to No.1. Still, guess it works for Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty.
January 8, 200818 yr Author Could you give an update on how 'Bad News' by Status Quo is doing? I'm confused, there is nothing by Status Quo released this week :blink:
January 8, 200818 yr Author Its this week isn't it Yes its physically released this week, could be top 5, #1 will be pushing it
January 8, 200818 yr I hope Leon isn't number 1 this week but the only other person I can see climbing is soulja boy and I cannot think which would be worse :puke2: *Prays Take That could finally climb-its still the best song around lol*
January 8, 200818 yr I think and hope it's Britters!!! I think : 1 Britney 2 Souja Boy 3 Leon 4 Timbaland 5 TT
