Posted May 18, 200916 yr Chart commentary: The Radio Newtown Top 20 is back after a month-long absence, due to illness of chart compilers, and the new chart has a new number one, in the form of Royksopp and Robyn's 80s-tinged slice of electronica 'The Girl And The Robot'. Calvin Harris, who topped the three unpublished charts to make a total of six weeks at number one, drops to number five with 'I'm Not Alone', in between there's plenty of exciting activity to welcome back the Radio Newtown listing. Miley Cyrus is looking to score her first number one hit with 'The Climb' and goes up five places to 2 to become the obvious challenger to the two 'R's, but another strong contender is another hot dance track: Canadian producer Deadmau5 leaps eleven places to three with 'I Remember'. Retro still has a big presence in the chart, with disco cult stars Rare Pleasure dropping to 6, and 'Damned United'-inspired 'Man Of The World' by Fleetwood Mac down to 11, but upward progress from two seventies superstar tracks: Peter Gabriel-era Genesis track 'Your Own Special Way' climbs to number eight, while 'Always Crashing In The Same Car' from the David Bowie album 'Low' is at 14. With chart-watchers wondering about the sudden outbreak of 70s rock, a chart compiler confides "It's probably a case of listeners turning to the past due to the current singles of previously successful artists such as Lily Allen, Eminem and Black Eyed Peas receiving underwhelming reaction from the Radio Newtown audience, and those singles failing to challenge at the top of the chart so far. Even at 18, a recent hit makes a comeback - a one-year old song from Courteeners leaps up to 18, as a result of its recent use in TV sports coverage. But there are three new entries within the Top 20 very much of today - The Killers enter at 15 with a well-aired track from a long-running album, while a brand new album from Green Day sees not the nominated single, but closing track See The Light in at 16. And the latest floor-burning epic from Prodigy enters at 19, with promise of big climbs next week.
