Sunday just gone: Gnarls' score reached 8. Infernal continued to rise to highest place yet at two, more through lack of competition than anything else, Christina Milian got to 4 with full release, which is lower than "Dip It Low", "AM To PM" and "When You Look At Me" managed. Can anyone else actually remember that last one? Busta Rhymes climbed to 6 with his first charting since ruining "Don't Cha", Sandi Thom was a disturbing 15 on downloads only, Angels And Airwaves 20 on full release. Elsewhere in the top 40: Primal Scream (23 on downloads, and it weirdly turns out, 'the most exciting single of the year', not Thom), The Feeling (28; downloads), Towers Of London (32), Nerina Pallot (37; downloads), The Ordinary Boys vs Lady Sovereign (38; downloads) and Eddie Thoenick and Kurd Maverick (39; who?).
In the albums RHCP became the first since Arctic Monkeys to do two successive weeks.
Sunday coming: RHCP to now make it three weeks, indeed. And - hooray! - Gnarls Barkley to make it nine and hold off Sandi Thom. Primal Scream heading top 5, which assures them of their biggest hit since 1997 and maybe ever, with Daz Sampson also heading into the top 5 despite the usual UK Eurovision failure. Top 10 places due for Matt Willis and The Feeling, which ought to be good news as I have one of these but annoyingly it still doesn't seem to be increasing in value at all (note also the usual 'guilty pleasure' crap).
Nerina Pallot's now going to climb to the top 15, with Pink somehow heading top 20 on downloads alone and The Futureheads looking a little folorn outside the top 20, though ahead of Robbie Williams (fully released and all! And indeed the only single being stocked in my local HMV this week).
Rounding off the top 40 are Jack Johnson, who must be selling almost no CD copies at all as he was just outside on downloads last week, and Keane who seem to be a popular bet to finally dethrone Gnarls Barkley next week when released fully. I would reckon against it and go for Embrace the week after. There will also be competition from Lordi (released on the Tuesday for 06/06/06, of course), though I would be surprised if that does anything more than make the lower reaches of the top 20.
