Mikey’s Top 40 Reload Chart

Chart #194 – 10/02/2008

Chart Commentary

No change at No.1 this week, Goldfrapp hold on to the top spot for a second with ‘A & E’, Mark Brown climbs another place to No.2 with Sarah Cracknell on vocals to ‘The Journey Continues’, which utilises the theme tune to the Lloyds TSB TV commercial.

Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue started out as an actress, working on the TV show Neighbours, whose UK popularity eventuated the young singer taking up with megapop production team Stock, Aitken & Waterman. With that titanic trio behind her, Kylie became the queen of the British pop charts, scoring hit after hit. Though Kylie reigned supreme in the UK, establishing a Madonna-like presence on records and in films, she never took off in America until her 2002 album ‘Fever’ finally made her a US dance-pop diva. In Spring 2005, whilst touring her Greatest Hits, to No.4, taken from her tenth album entitled ‘X’. While her new infectious track ‘Wow’ continues to climb up the chart to No.4.

Laura Marling's new single, Ghosts, climbs 6 places to No.7. The song is a simple tale of a young couple and the baggage of past relationships: "the ghosts that broke my heart before I met you". Marling deftly captures the mixed feelings of trepidation and hope that infuse budding relationships without ever slipping into the trap of poetry. And the weirdly reassuring refrain of "it's not like I believe in ever lasting love" suggests a world-weariness that far exceeds what you might expect from a 17 year old. The deceptively simple lyrics and complex emotions are delivered with a hypnotic guitar line and understated vocal that swells to a heart busting orchestral and choral climax. ‘Ghosts’ is a remarkably affecting song in every respect and sets to win over a new audience of music listeners for 2008.

The highest new entry of 5 comes from Kanye West, first gained fame as an acclaimed hip-hop producer, working with Jay-Z, Foxy Brown, Mase, and others. West's solo debut was delayed due to a serious car accident, but when ‘The College Dropout’ finally appeared in 2004, it took the hip-hop world by storm with its combination of old-school R&B samples, inventive contemporary production, and clever rhymes. His new single Homecoming features vocals from Chris Martin in at No.17, the track can also be found on his ‘Graduation’ LP.

Hard Fi, Amy MacDonald, Alicia Keys and Mark Ronson featuring Alex Greenwald make up the reminder of the new entries in this week’s Top 40 Chart. Will Kylie steal the No.1 position next week, or will Goldfrapp remain for a third week, with Mark Brown kicking his heels one step closer to the No.1 spot, reserve a seat here and tune in next week, same time, same channel and don’t touch that dial.
