Posted July 18, 200817 yr COPYRIGHT 2000 CMP Information Ltd. CHART COMMENTARY by ALAN JONES The all-time record of seven new entries in the Top 10 has been matched for the second time this year. The influx of new records brings with it an increase in sales of 9%, singles sales last week reaching their fifth highest level of the year at 1,251,467. More singles were sold last week than in any of the previous 11, and the overall tally is just 102,000 below the year's highest weekly figure, as achieved in February when All Saints' Pure Shores was number one. Curiously this welcome upturn in sales occured in a week when The Corrs' number one tally is the fourth lowest of the year in absolute terms (80,869) and the lowest of all in percentage terms at under 6.5%. Oasis become the first act this year to have three new hits, and all of them have reached the top five. Topping the chart in February with Go Let It Out, they reached number four in April with Who Feels Love and match that position with Sunday Morning Call, which sold 53,000 copies last week. The first three singles from their latest album, Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, have sold a combined tally of more than 420,000, while the album itself has topped the 470,000 mark and celebrates the release of Sunday Morning Call by jumping 65-45 this week. Meanwhile, Steps have taken five hits from their latest album Steptacular, although neither Summer Of Love off their current hit single or Better The Devil You Know, which was a double A-side with Say You'll Be Mine, appear on the album. When I Said Goodbye/Summer Of Love is Steps' 10th hit in all, with only the introductory 5-6-7-8 falling short of the Top 10, and seven of the records reaching the top five. Steptacular improves 27-22 this week. Artful Dodger and Craig David renew their partnership with Woman Trouble, which debuts at number six, with vocal assistance by Robbie Craig. Combined year 2000 sales of Artful Dodger's previous two singles Re-Rewind and Movin' Too Fast and David's own number one smash Fill Me In topped the million mark yesterday (Sunday) - a triumph for all, but especially for Artful Dodger's Mark Hill, who had a hand in producing the records. SINGLE FACTFILE The number one single has sold fewer copies only five times in 26 previous charts this year - and Runaway sold 15% more in its first week despite having to settle for a number two position - but none of this will detract from the satisfaction the Corrs will take from Breathless as it becomes their first number one single. The Irish family act are the first siblings-only group to top the chart since Hanson reached the summit with Mmmbop in June 1997. There has not been a really strong number one sale in the last five weeks, with the number one unit tallies ranging in the low 80,000s. Breathless sold 80,869 copies last week according to CIN's computations to give the Corrs a number one single with their 10th hit. This can now be added to their number one album success, Talk On Corners, and three number one airplay hits.

In a market that declined by more than 8% overall, The Marshall Mathers LP increased its sales by 18%. This follows a 22% increase the previous week, bringing its weekly tally to more than 70,000 and its overall sales since release seven weeks ago past 389,000 units, putting it in ninth place in the year-to- date rankings. Eminem's debut album The Slim Shady LP continues to improve too, and climbs 17-16 to achieve its highest position this year while moving to within four notches of its all-time high of number 12. The Slim Shady LP has sold nearly 110,000 copies this year, taking Eminem's total sales for 2000 to almost exactly half a million. Moby's Play experienced its first decline in sales for seven weeks last week but David Gray's White Ladder upped its weekly tally for the tenth time in a row - albeit less spectacularly than in any previous week. White Ladder jumped 7-4 with sales up 140% last week, and now advances to number two, even though it managed to improve just 2% week-on-week. The 46,500 copies it did sell bring its overall tally to more than 165,000 copies since it was picked up by East West. Meanwhile, Gray's last album, Sell Sell Sell, fell just short of the chart despite its title, having been re-released by EMI last week. Another artist whose past is catching up with them is Shania Twain. With Come On Over (21-20) and The Woman In Me (64-64) already in the chart, the Canadian singer now has three albums listed with the arrival of Wild & Wicked, a collection of pre-fame recordings which have been released on the RWP label, and which make their debut chart appearance this week at number 66. Recorded long before she hooked up with husband Mutt Lange, most of the tracks are Twain originals, although there is a cover of Cher's hit Half Breed. ALBUMS FACTFILE Three years to the week after releasing the gimmicky Drag k.d.lang returns with Invincible Summer, the only new release to sell in sufficient quantities to debut in the Top 50, it sold nearly 9,000 copies to claim 17th place in the chart - two notches higher than Drag managed. In percentage terms, Invincible Summer's first week sales are 17% higher than Drag's - and the album's first single Summerfling is already attracting plenty of radio attention (it moves 59-42 on the airplay chart this week) and is shaping up to be lang's first bona fide hit since Constant Craving seven years ago. Incidentally, the week Drag made its debut, the Prodigy's The Fat Of The Land was also released, selling a massive 317,000 copies, rather more than Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP manages in returning to number one this week. COMPILATIONS Sales of compilations slipped back below the 500,000 mark last week, despite the fact that the two best-sellers were both new releases. Fresh Hits - Volume 1, the latest in the successful Warner.esp/Global TV/Sony TV series of collaborations, enters the chart at number one with a little in excess of 41,000 sales, while Pure Garage II debuts in runners-up spot with nearly 30,000 buyers. The latter album is the follow-up to Pure Garage, which has sold more than 252,000 copies since it was released 22 weeks ago, and which was for a long time the biggest- selling compilation of the year. Pure Garage remains at number two on that list, far ahead of number three (Now That's What I Call Music! 44, with 195,000 sales this year but many more in 1999) and far behind Now! 45, which sold more than 11,000 copies last week to take seventh place on the compilations chart in its 12th week. Now! 45's cumulative sales of 641,000 place it fourth in the overall albums ranking for the year, behind Moby's Play (768,000), The Man Who by Travis (720,000) and Reload by Tom Jones (671,000). Mission: Impossible 2 made its long awaited debut at he British cinema last weekend, but the soundtrack album makes a very modest 16-15 climb on the chart, despite registering a handsome 26% improvement in sales week-on-week. The album has sold more than 22,000 copies in the last six weeks, and would doubtless have registered an even bigger increase last week had Limp Bizkit's theme Take A Look Around not been made available as a single.
