Posted April 14, 200916 yr Chart commentary: No change at the top today, Calvin Harris retains the number one spot for a second week with 'I'm Not Alone', keeping Doves at two with 'Kingdom of Rust'. This blocks the way for Girls Aloud and their attempt to get a third number one single from the album 'Out of Control', as 'Untouchable' climbs just the two places but still a creditable number three. But biggest climber, shooting up sixteen places, is former Fairground Attraction singer Eddi Reader. 'Dragonflies' is the opening track from her lovely new album 'Love Is The Way' and looks possibly to deliver Reader her third number one in three decades on this chart, after Fairground Attraction's 1988 hit 'Perfect' and 1994's 'Joke (I'm Laughing)'. Interesting to see two new entries within the top ten. Bat For Lashes goes in at eight with her Fleetwood Man soundalike 'Daniel', and Kevin Rudolf, fresh from the success of a number one hit in February with 'Let It Rock', has decided to follow it up with an almost identical song. But with a slightly different yet still killer hook, the formula looks like bringing him similar success. White Lies make good progress to lie just outside the Top Ten, while the third new entry at 16 is by Delays. In between albums, and having released some amazing demo songs to their fans on their MySpace page, the Southampton outfit keep interest alive with the mp3 of a track originally given away on a CD with a magazine - their interesting cover of A-Ha's 'The Sun Always Shines on TV'. Having had a number one last year, it's difficult to imagine them repeating the feat with this, given all the strong competition around right now, but it keeps things going until the release of their next album, which, if the demos are anything to go by, could well have at least another chart topper. But for now, Calvin Harris rules the roost, although there could be a major Scottish battle at the top of the chart if Eddi Reader maintains her progess.
