Chart commentary:

Little movement in the Top 20 this week, with the top three remaining unchanged, German producer Luetzenkirchen holding on to number one spot for the third consecutive week with '3 Days Awake'. The track has been at the centre of controversy this week, with Radio Newtown playing only the German language version '3 Tage Wach', due to the presence of an obscene word in the English lyric. And the opposition Conservatve leader of Newtown Council has slammed the track as a 'vile glorification of the culture of binge drinking' and called for it to be banned. Speaking better English than Steve McLaren, Tobias Luetzenkirchen has responded by declaring 'Ja wol, das ist schoen, all this publicity is keeping me at the top of the chart, and I am looking forward to visiting Engeland in Oktober for sure! I will be getting, how you say, troll-eyed!'

Lower down the chart, Katy Perry finally cracks the top five, and Madcon enter the Top Ten. But highest new entry, straight in at eleven, is a song available only as a clip on a sofa company's website. The Coldplay-like 'Chasing Butterflies' by unknown artist Steph is the music from the current CSL sofa advert, and with a physical single release promised within weeks, it is tipped to become number one pretty soon. This may be bad news for Will Young, whose solid new track 'Changes' enters at eighteen, and entertained hopes of getting to the top as his comeback machine gets into gear.
