Chart commentary: Retro continues to rule the Radio Newton chart this week. Country boys the Bellamy Brothers looked all set to take over the number one spot this week, until a slowdown in exposure of the Barclaycard advert towards weekend allowed Can to retain their grip on the top with 'I Want More'. 'Let Your Love Flow' does climb to number two, overtaking another retro-style hit from Crazy P, which nevertheless goes top three, and could still get the dance outfit a surprise chart topper.

And yet more. Welsh crooner Tom Jones has gone for a Northern Soul feel for his new single, and it's certainly finding favour with Radio Newtown, taking him up to number seven as highest climber with 'If He Should Ever Leave You'.

For fans of today's stars, good to see Snow Patrol finally make it to the Top Ten with their recent release, and Adele looks set to make it too with a song that's been growing for ages. A similar story for Duffy with yet another hit from Rockferry getting to nineteen, while new material from The Killers and Kings of Leon makes a fair impact at numbers 17 and 18 respectively.

And a surprise hit for Alesha Dixon gets in at number 20. Her previous band Mis-Teeq never got very far in this particular chart, with one critic likening the song 'Scandalous' to an angry PC flashing up errors with Windows. But it goes to show the value of a distinctive and catchy song that 'The Boy Does Nothing' can chart, despite previous material having held little regard. You never know what's going to happen on the Radio Newtown chart!
