Posted February 17, 200916 yr Chart commentary. It's a third week at the top for Kevin Rudolf and Lil Wayne with 'Let It Rock', but the competition to take over is hotting up below them. Has Danish songstress Tina Dico run out of momentum? Two weeks ago, when 'Warm Sand' went up twenty five places to five, it looked a sure fire bet to get to the top, but progress has slowed, and it climbs one place today to number two - still a massive hit, as is The Beatles' unexpected re-entry, 'All You Need Is Love', which climbs to three today as a result of tv exposure in the Granada region with a mass local TV singalong on Valentine's Day. But neither is expected to top the charts next week, as the main battle would seem to be between two new songs from established acts. Having had her first big success since leaving Mystique with 'The Boy Does Nothing', Alesha Dixon seems to have found an even better song in 'Breathe Slow', which climbs up nine places to four this week. But just behind it, the wonderful St Etienne are up eleven to 5 with 'Method of Modern Love'. It's difficult to know if fans cheered or groaned when they first saw the title of this release - surely not a Hall and Oates cover from the divine Sarah and her friends? No, it's a delicious piece of smooth disco of which Kylie would be proud... and sung as only Miss Cracknell can. So could this be the song to give St Etienne their first Radio Newtown number one? It ought to be a certainty, but Alesha's song is a definite grower, and could pip it to the post. Lower down the top ten, U2 miss the top five, but Gary Go makes good progress. In the lower half of the twenty, Take That look unlikely to match the success of 'Greatest Day' as 'Up All Night' climbs but to a positively lowly for them number twelve... Amy Studt comes back with 'Nice Boys' at 15 - with memories of a number one in this chart just six years ago - and Morrissey returns with a song that, disappointingly, is not a declaration of love for an American socialite, but a return to Smiths glory days to please his old fans. And Miley Cyrus creeps into the Top 20 with a song that's desperately trying to be 'Rock Lobster' by the B-52s. Great!
