Chart commentary:

It's a no-change top three this week, as disco production outfit RAH Band retain the number one position with 'Livin' For The Nightlife', keeping the YouTube 'World In Action/Network' mash-up at number two, and Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' at number three.

A two-pronged Mancunian attack on the charts is led by Oasis, up two to four with 'Falling Down', but possibly about to be overtaken by Doves and the excellent and atmospheric 'Kingdom of Rust'.

But the Top 20 is peppered this week with strong new entries, none more so than Calvin Harris, straight in at seven with 'I'm Not Alone'. Having had number ones on this chart in 2007 ('Acceptable In The Eighties') and last year ('Dance Wiv Me' alongside Dizzee Rascal and Chrome), Calvin is looking for a hatrick, and with a full download and physical release to come over the next two weeks, it looks distinctly possible.

Also entering high are Royksopp, with their near-instrumental, at eleven, and Girls Aloud, looking for their own chart-topping hat-trick of singles from 'Out of Control', as 'Untouchable' enters at 13. And at 18, James Morrison leaves Nelly Furtado behind to re-establish his solo credentials with 'Please Don't Stop The Rain'.

Jennifer Hudson and Enrique Iglesias have both taken advantage of a number of long-running favourites falling out of contention this week to enter the top twenty with their current releases, but next week looks like being all about Calvin Harris looking to overhaul the Mancunians and topple the RAH Band from the top...
