Posted January 27, 200916 yr Chart commentary. Finally, some competition at the top end of the Radio Newtown Top 20. Girls Aloud stay at number one for a second week with 'The Loving Kind', but two songs make massive leaps into the top three to promise a tough scrap for the top spot next Tuesday. Underground band Of Montreal see the title track from their current EP 'An Eluardian Instance' leap up ten places to number two. Following in the footsteps of King of Prussia, these North American heroes combine a New Order bassline with Beatle-esque vocals and the best of brass for a studio epic in a very different vein to their popular, jangly live version. A great success for a band who have been threatening success for over a year, and what better way could there be than grab themselves a number one hit? But that's also what Kevin Rudolf will be hoping for as 'Let It Rock', his powerful collaboration with Lil Wayne, leaps up thirteen places to 3. Lily Allen won't have given up hopes of a chart topper completely, as 'The Fear' climbs into the Top 10 at seven, but maybe they all need to look out for this week's highest new entry, from Daniel Merriweather. The excellent uncredited vocalist on hits by such as Mark Ronson and Wylie finally gets the chance to put his name on his own record, and leaps straight into the chart at ten with 'Change'. Interesting to see two chart stars from a few years ago get good progress in this week's chart. Starsailor might have thought their hit-making days behind them, but their excellent new single 'Tell Me It's Not Over' finds favour as a new entry at 14, while Daniel Powter's in and out chart career, which has never fulfilled the early promise of his debut number one 'Bad Day' has one of its good days, as 'Best of Me' climbs to 16. Making up the new songs in the Top 20, The Ting Tings will be surprised to see 'We Walk' make the chart ahead of the preferred single release, 'Fruit Machine'.
