Chart update – w/c 08 Mar 2010
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 8 March 2010
Well, look at that, Tinie Tempah doesn’t hang about, does he? His debut single, ‘Pass It Out’, has gone straight in at number one, sending Jason Derulo careening down to number three after just one week. Also new in the top ten this week are Wiley at eight with ‘Never Be Your Woman’, and Boyzone at nine with ‘Gave It All Away’, which has been released in tribute to Stephen Gately, who recorded vocals for the track (one of two on which he appears on the band’s new album) prior to his death last year.
Outside the top ten, new entries come from Gramophonedzie with ‘Why Don’t You’ at twelve, Daisy Dares You with ‘Number One Enemy’ at thirteen, The Black Eyed Peas with ‘Rock That Body’ at 23, Mary J Blige with ‘I Am’ at 34, Mumford & Sons with ‘The Cave’ at 37, and those bleedin ‘Glee’ kids with ‘Defying Gravity’ at 38.
Over in the album chart, another British new kid on the block is at the top, this time Ellie Goulding with her debut album, ‘Lights’, knocking Lady Gaga down to two. Also new in the top ten is Jason Derulo with his eponymous debut at eight.
Moving on, John Barrowman is at eleven with his eponymous third album, and Sharleen Spiteri is at thirteen with ‘The Movie Songbook’, before a cluster of new entries between 25 and 28, which come from Simply Red, Groove Armada, Dean Martin and Joanna Newsome respectively. Quite a mix. Rounding things off, Alphabeat come in at 39 with ‘The Beat Is…’ and 50s crooner Matt Monro is at 40 with ‘The Greatest’.
The charts are compiled by The Official Charts Company. This week they launch the originally titled Official Chart Update, which will reveal who’s where in the charts every Wednesday. We might now rename this column The Unofficial Chart Update. Or maybe The Renegade Chart Update. Or we might just leave it as it is. Find out next week!
