Posted October 20, 200816 yr Chart Commentary: The much anticipated chart battle turned into more of a procession, as Girls Aloud do this week what Leon Jackson couldn't last - turn a much publicized X-Factor performance into enough momentum to easily claim the number one spot. Single 'The Promise' entered the chart last week at five, and climbs four places today to get the girls another number one, to go with such Radio Newtown chart toppers as 'Sound of the Underground' and 'Wake Me Up'. Despite the endorsement of Gen Colin Powell, King of Prussia failed to hold the top spot for another week with 'Misadventures of the Campaign Kids', though a five week run for a debut hit is still a remarkable achievement. Sugababes were expected to challenge GA for the top spot, but have to settle instead for number three this week, after a late drop in interest in the wake of the Girls Aloud-mania. In their own private 'X Factor winners' battle, Leona managed to overhaul Leon, but still remains stuck at four. Some bizarre 'new' entries this week... high climbing hits by previously unknown Oppo (10) and Rockits (13) are as a result of their being featured in cult blog Pure Pop, whilst the highest climbing hit in the twenty, Can's 'I Want More' (which moves from 26 to 14) is a powerful slice of seventies funk that came out of nowhere as a randomly suggested YouTube link for Radio Newtown's Top DJ... 90s dance act Sash! make a re-appearance at number 20.
