It sold less at #1 than The Killers had done at #4 the previous week. Beyonce (who had the #1 single) also had the #10 album, and Leona Lewis (who had the #10 single) also had the #1 album (the re-packaged version of Spirit). N-Dubz also had a new entry in the album chart this week last year, and both N-Dubz and Leona Lewis also have new entries in this week’s album chart. #21 was originally #7 in 1976 (it re-charted due to its use in an advert). #28 and #54 were both due to Leona Lewis’ cover of Run on X-Factor (this version would itself make #1 in a couple of weeks’ time). The only 2 new entries to the top 40 provided a bit of contrast – both of the artists’ previous hits had peaked at #22, but N-Dubz had been in the top 40 only the previous month (with Ouch), whereas Christian Falk had not charted for over 8 years. This was apparently the first time ever that #39 and #40 were both 1-place fallers. #43 was Craig David’s 2nd new entry in as many weeks – Insomnia (which featured a relatively-unknown Tinchy Stryder) had entered at #58 one week earlier. #46 would return to the top 40 at #27 the following week.

First single ever to be banned by BBC
There were a couple of prior #1s to be banned: Ricky Valance - Tell Laura I Love Her (due to the fact that it was about death) Don Cornell - Hold My Hand (had the words 'kingdom of Heaven').
