Chart commentary: So much debate last week about which of Daniel Merriweather, Little Boots, Agnes, Kelly Clarkson or U2 would get the number one spot on the chart this week after major movement last Tuesday. And the answer? None of them! In a year dominated so far by various forms of dance music, Deadmau5 and Kaskade's chill-out epic, which conjures up an Ibiza sunrise every time you hear it, stays at the top, 'I Remember' chalking up its third consecutive week at number one.

Little Boots climbs to no 2 with 'New In Town', and U2, tipped strongly for number one in this chart last week, jump six to three with 'Magnificent'. This overtakes Kelly Clarkson, 'I Do Not Hook Up' still getting her a top five place this week at four, and all three artists will be pleased to have made so much progress on the Radio Newtown listing after disappointing performaces on the inferior charts of other radio stations... ;)

The former number one by Royksopp and Robyn makes up the top five, while Daniel Merriweather at 6 and Agnes at 7 will be disappointed to have dropped back after good progress last week.

Taylor Swift's pleasing brand of country-pop gets her another top ten hit to go with 'Love Story', as 'Teardrops on My Guitar' climbs to eight, and there's a cimilar country feel to Paolo Nutini's hit that climbs to 17 today.

But two acts founded decades apart claim two spots each in today's chart.

The Carpenters were featured in a BBC retrospective a couple of weeks ago, and it enables two of their tracks to maintain places in the chart, 'One More Time' holding at 16, while 'Mr Guder' climbs to 18.

The big winners though, would appear to be Doves. They have one of the most successful singles on the 2009 chart so far under their belts with 'Kingdom of Rust', which spent weeks at number two behind the Calvin Harris chart topper, and now the stupendous album of the same name fires two more of its tracks into the Top 20 - the hypnotic and almost psychedelic 'Winter Hill' is the biggest climber to number 11 today, and at 19, 'Ship of Fools' adds to their chart presence in the run-up to their much anticipated concert in Delamere Forest on Saturday. Fans will be hoping for good weather for this potential music event of the year, and the show could well help Doves to dominate the chart next week.

Which could be bad news for the Freemasons, as they haul Sophie Ellis Bextor back into the charts as a new entry at 14, and Kasabian, who enter and 15, and would be hoping for Top 10 positions next week, as would Reverend and the Makers, whose new song based on the 70s classic 'Low Rider' by War climbs to 12 today. But the possibility of Doves domination in the chart next Saturday could well mean all bets are off...
