Chart update – w/c 22 Mar 2010
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 22 March 2010
Oh, that Lady Gaga. It’s like someone’s tied a bungee rope to her. Not only has she bagged her fourth number one single with ‘Telephone’, but her debut album is back at the top of the album chart for a third time.
In last week’s midweek chart, it was looking like Tinie Tempah would hold on to the top single spot again, while ‘The Fame’ was only at four in the album chart. Official Charts Company boss Martin Talbot squealed giddily: “It’s a phenomenal achievement for Lady Gaga and shows just how much the chart can change in only a matter of days”.
All other chart information seems boring by comparison, but let’s have a quick look at this week’s new entries anyway. In the singles chart, Inna is at eight with ‘Hot’, Skepta is at 26 with ‘Bad Boy’ and the cast of ‘Glee’ are in at 35 with ‘True Colors’.
In the album chart, the second volume of songs from ‘Glee’, which had been set for number one until everyone starting buying Lady Gaga’s album again, is new at number two (volume one is at number six). The current batch of Sugababes are new at fourteen with their seventh/debut album ‘Sweet 7′, and The White Stripes’ new live album, ‘Under Great White Northern Lights’, is in at 25.
The charts are compiled, crossed out and then compiled again by The Official Charts Company.
