Posted November 24, 200816 yr http://i34.tinypic.com/24etc3b.png Chart Commentary: Week 139 Snow Patrol end the Killers' 7-week reign at the top, dethroning them with the excellent 'Crack The Shutters' which has now convinced me to go and buy their new album. The song isn't released until the middle of next month, so expect it to be at the top (Or therabouts) until then. That shift in power means The Killers slide to no.2, giving them a total of 9 weeks inside the top 3. A shiny new entry at no.3 comes courtesy of Neon Neon and their new single 'Dream Cars', which precedes last week's new entry from Chromeo who benefit from a massive 3 place hike into the top 5 with 'Momma's Boy'. Kings of Leon move back down to no.5 with 'Use Somebody'. The quality is still quite high outside the "big 5", as songs 6 to 10 feature no fewer than 3 former top 3 hits (Friendly Fires, Coldplay and Talons respectively) as well as the cracking new songs from Oasis and Futureheads http://i34.tinypic.com/2ng992t.png http://i37.tinypic.com/2rcx5c8.png 1: Snow Patrol - Crack The Shutters 4-2-1 http://i35.tinypic.com/2598x6v.png 2: The Killers - Human 3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2 http://i35.tinypic.com/141jlsi.png 3: Neon Neon - Dream Cars New Entry http://i37.tinypic.com/2rcx5c8.png 4: Chromeo - Momma's Boy 7-4 http://i35.tinypic.com/2598x6v.png 5: Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody 5-5-4-5 http://i35.tinypic.com/655q46.png http://i35.tinypic.com/2598x6v.png 6: Friendly Fires - Paris 4-3-2-3-6 http://i35.tinypic.com/2598x6v.png 7: Coldplay - Lost! 3-2-2-3-5-7 http://i35.tinypic.com/2598x6v.png 8: Oasis - I'm Outta Time 7-6-8 http://i36.tinypic.com/29z1nab.png 9: The Futureheads - I Wouldn't Be Like This If You Were Here 9-9 http://i35.tinypic.com/2598x6v.png 10: Bloc Party - Talons 3-2-2-2-2-2-3-4-6-8-10 http://i33.tinypic.com/2re72wh.png 2008 03 wks 14/01/08 - 03/02/08 The Coral - Put The Sun Back 05 wks 04/02/08 - 09/03/08 We Are Scientists - After Hours 04 wks 10/03/08 - 06/04/08 The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement 08 wks 07/04/08 - 01/06/08 Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down 03 wks 02/06/08 - 22/06/08 Infadels - Free Things For Poor People 04 wks 23/06/08 - 20/07/08 CSS - Left Behind 04 wks 21/07/08 - 17/08/08 Biffy Clyro - Mountains 02 wks 18/08/08 - 31/08/08 Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire 05 wks 01/09/08 - 05/10/08 MGMT - Kids 07 wks 06/10/08 - 23/11/08 The Killers - Human 01 wk+ 24/11/08 - present Snow Patrol - Crack The Shutters http://i36.tinypic.com/30cq1as.png JCZfJ5ai07U Kings Of Leon Use Somebody http://i36.tinypic.com/73e060.png http://i36.tinypic.com/73e060.png http://i37.tinypic.com/15pse86.png This week's featured artist: Snow Patrol Chart Debut: 27th March 2006 Songs Charted: 7 Number Ones: 4 6RcP95XiSS8 You're All I Have Charted: 27-03-06 Peak: No.1 (4 weeks) First of 3 consecutive no.1s in 2006 for the band formerly known as Polar Bear, this was the first release from their outstanding and highly successful 'Eyes Open' album BSfw-qWAJ4w Chasing Cars Charted: 15-05-06 Peak: No.1 (4 weeks) Arguably the biggest songs of 2006, it spent an obscene amount of time in the official charts (over a year) despite peaking outside the top 5. In my chart, it hung around for 8 weeks before topping the chart for a further 4 SO3X13WA1a4 Set The Fire To The Third Bar Charted: 16-10-06 Peak: No.1 (1 week) Snow Patrol teamed up with Martha Wainwright to score their third no.1 in October 2006. Though in retrospect it wasn't a great choice of no.1, it's still a decent enough song and deserved the reasonable success it achieved H1XUbJEPShE Open Your Eyes Charted: 15-01-07 Peak: No.2 They continued to milk the album for all it's worth by releasing the title track as a single. This was the last release from 'Eyes Open' and the only one of the four never to reach no.1. It came close, however, spending 4 consecutive weeks at no.2 I7taFtKZEDA Signal Fire Charted: 23-04-07 Peak: No.2 Another top 3 smash for the Patrol, and it's been said that this could have (and should have, really) been no.1 between the two Arctics songs instead of Kaiser Chiefs. But alas, what's done is done and 2 weeks at no.2 still isn't bad going. I love the vid to this as well lDGzB82bIZc Take Back The City Charted: 08-09-08 Peak: No.8 They burst back onto the scene in September this year with a new album. This, the first release from it spent only 4 weeks in the chart and to date is Snow Patrol's only single never to make the top. Looking back, a tad harsh considering it's not a bad song JooYvAvqx08 Crack The Shutters Charted: 10-11-08 Peak: No.1 (Still charting - 1 week to date) ..but this is a far better acquisition. Though it only entered 3 weeks ago, it's already made a big impression, entering straight into the top 5 and steadily climbing it's way to no.1, knocking off The Killers and ending a 7-week spell at the top! With a few weeks left until it's release, it's sure to become a massive hit in my chart in what is otherwise shaping up to be a very slow pre-season period Comment, and much wewting shall ensue
