Sunday just gone: Nelly Furtado more comfortably gained a second week at number one. Shakira climbed to three, The Automatic managed an impressive second week at 4 and Bon Jovi of course didn't live up to the midweeks and finished at 5. Let's not mention 2. Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds' ten year old song went up another place to 9, but that can be put down to "Crazy" being disqualified as you can't buy it in old peoples' music shops anymore.
Armand Van Helden climbed to 11 with the also a couple of years old "My My My" - I thought that sounded familiar! No idea who Solu Music (18) are, but they helped to keep The Fratellis (19) down a place so may well be a good thing. Dannii Minogue was the final top 20 entry at 20.
Lower down: TI (a surprisingly high 22), Michael Jackson (26, how much longer do these go on for??), Sergio Mendes (19, downloads), Lostprophets (39, downloads), The Zutons (41, downloads), John Parr VS Tommyknockers (43), AFI (44) and Muse (46, downloads).
The Divine Comedy's 52 for the slightly overly-smug "Diva Lady" is at least 8 places ahead of Battle, and doesn't seem too bad, until you consider that even after the album of the same name had been released, "Absent Friends" still scraped into the top 40 two years ago. Ah well, blame the football.
Sunday coming: Nelly Furtado for a third week at number one, still selling not too badly. Muse starting the week impressive but falling; they will still likely stay top 5 and get their biggest hit ever. Plus they have "Do Somethin'"'s mark at 6 to aim at beating of course! Lostprophets, The Zutons and Sergio Mendes to climb to the top 10 - has "Mas Que Nada" even been on any football adverts this time round? Or just the load for his album?
Outside the top twenty, Editors' neverending rereleases are still kind of working, Ricky get as many people as possible to sing on their football song so they'll all buy it, The Kooks' next single appears on downloads even before "Naive" finally gets lost, and entries for All American Rejects, The Young Knives, Placebo and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Liberty X are outside the top 40.
Keane for a second week in the albums of course, ahead of The Automatic and Fatboy Slim's greatest hits.
