Chart update – w/c 11 Jan 2010
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 11 January 2010
Everyone’s being very careless of late and only managing to hold on to the number one slot in the singles chart for one week. I’m not sure it should really count if you’re not going to hang around for at least two. Still, the exciting news is that Iyaz is now at the top with ‘Replay’. So that’s nice. And best of all, he’s blocked Sidney Sampson feat Wizard Sleeve from getting to the top position with their atrocious single ‘Riverside (Let’s Go)’. A song so bad it actually makes me yearn for DJ Casper’s ‘Cha Cha Slide’.
There are no other new entries in the top ten but that Justin Beiber is new at fourteen with ‘One Time’, Lostprophets are in at 32 with ‘Where We Belong’, and Alicia Keys is at 35 with ‘Empire State Of Mind (Part II)’. Florence And The Machine’s ‘Dog Days Are Over’ is back in the chart at 23, although you don’t really need to buy it in order to hear it fifteen times a day at the moment, and La Roux’s ‘In For The Kill’ is also a re-entry at 28, thanks to the Skream remix being used in some advert or other.
In the album chart, Paolo Nutini is still at number one for some reason (the reason is discounting, I believe) and Elvis’ 75th birthday compilation is new at eight, because you can never have too many Elvis compilations. Moving down the chart, The Noisettes and Seasick Steve are both re-entries at 35 and 36. And that’s basically all that’s happened this week.
The charts are compiled piece by boring piece by the Official Charts Company.
