Posted October 12, 200816 yr Chart commentary: It's a fifth week at number one in the Radio Newtown charts for American underground band King of Prussia, and their ode to the democratic process, 'Misadventures of the Campaign Kids'. The guys and girls from Georgia now have to hold on for another three weeks to become the official American election day number one! But the chances of that are looking extremely slim as a queue of contenders line up to depose them. King of Prussia hold off X Factor champion Leon Jackson, who swaps places with namesake Michael to get to number two with 'Don't Call This Love'. Possibly a better performance on this weekend's X-Factor show may have got him the number one spot, a clanger he may live to regret, as 2006 winner Leona Lewis threatens to overtake him with 'Forgive Me', up four places to four. But the real chart battle looks to be happening a little lower, as next week promises the fiercest girl band battle since the Spice Girls and All Saints were pulling each other's hair going on for ten years ago. Hot favourite for next week's number one are Girls Aloud, who get the highest new entry with their retro tinged single 'The Promise', straight in at number five. The fact that this group are in the running for another chart topper nearly six years after their first is impressive enough, but a band whose first hit was a full two years before that - albeit with a different line-up - threaten to steal their thunder: Sugababes have the biggest climber, shooting a full twenty-one places to six with 'Girls'. That these songs will probably leapfrog King of Prussia to be the top two next week is highly probable, but in which order? This will be the big issue of the week... Further down the chart, a little surprise that Kaiser Chiefs enter as low as fifteen, but at least that is better than Oasis, who have failed to make the Top 20 at all with their current song. Climbing into the twenty at 18 is Daniel Powter, a chart topper three years ago, who has made steady progress to return to the chart's upper echelons with a song that sounds as though it was left on a bus by Dan Gillespie-Sells of the Feeling... but charming enough to outdo that band's current effort, 'Without You', which has sunk without trace having grazed the unpublished chart at 20 two weeks ago. Just outside the top 20, a clutch of retro songs popularised by a cult music blog threaten to shake up the big names in weeks to come. But for now, it's a question of who can dethrone King of Prussia? http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35/Merlo2001/tmpphpSKi2qx.jpghttp://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35/Merlo2001/tmpphpboqRDj.jpghttp://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35/Merlo2001/tmpphpxDx8W5.jpghttp://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35/Merlo2001/tmpphpGOglbI.jpghttp://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35/Merlo2001/tmpphp0vNSRo.jpg 1 (1) Misadventures of the Campaign Kids - King of Prussia (Fifth week) 2 (3) Don't Call This Love - Leon Jackson 3 (2) We're Almost There - Michael Jackson 4 (8) Forgive Me- Leona Lewis 5 (NEW) The Promise -Girls Aloud 6 (27) Girls - Sugababes 7 (5) Swagga Like Us - Jay-Z and T.I. feat Kanye West and Lil' Wayne 8 (11) Wire To Wire - Razorlight 9 (10) In This City - Iglu and Hartley 10 (4) All I Wanna Do Is Be With You - Paul Weller 11 (6) Burnt Out Car- Saint Etienne 12 (14) Sex On Fire - Kings of Leon 13 (16) So What - Pink 14 (7) I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry 15 (NEW) Never Miss A Beat- Kaiser Chiefs 16 (22) Miss Independent - Ne-Yo 17 (19) Womanizer - Britney Spears 18 (26) Next Plane Home - Daniel Powter 19 (9) Pjanoo - Eric Prydz 20 (23) Lies - McFly Edited October 13, 200816 yr by Kit Curran
