Mikey’s Top 40 Reload Chart

Chart #192 – 27/01/2008

Chart Commentary

No budging Robyn this week she hangs on for a second week at No.1 with ‘Be Mine’, while Goldfrapp move up to No.2 with “A & E”, taken from their forthcoming studio album ‘The Seventh Tree’. Essex band The Feeling are back in the top 10 this week with their brand new infectious track ‘I Thought It Was Over’ up 4 places to No.7, taken from their second studio album 'Join With Us' which features the single as well. Picking up where debut 'Twelve Stops And Home' left off, the band take their blend of 70s influenced soft rock and pop to subtle new heights. Recalling ELO, Queen and Yes, hopefully this will be another well-crafted album packed with sing-along hits and memorable melodies.

‘Don’t Stop The Music’ is the second single from Rihanna that has charted in my personal chart, this week its her first top 10 hit in my personal chart at No.10. The track samples a Michael Jackson track ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Something’ and uses it to a great effect, to make it an infectious little ditty track, the track can also be found on her album ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, along with the second biggest selling single of 2007 ‘Umbrella’.

The highest new entry of 5 enters the chart at No.9 for a fresh new talent by the name of Duffy ‘Mercy’ is one of those tracks, that you cannot get out of your head once it gets going, the drums just lodges into your brain. In 2004, Duffy came to the attention of Rough Trade’s Jeannette Lee who became both her manager and her mentor. Duffy spent the next couple years honing and developing her song writing skills all the while discovering hidden musical gems that inspired her, taken from her forthcoming debut studio album ‘Rockferry’. Also her debut single ‘Rockferry’ makes another surprising new entry for Duffy in at No.26.

Kate Rusby, Remi Nicole, Mary J. Blige and David Jordan make up this week’s new entries in the top 40 chart.
