Sunday gone: My Chemical Romance make it two weeks at 1 without much difficulty. Bob Sinclar continues his determined climb, making it as far as 3, Girls Aloud pull a 5 on downloads out of nowhere, leaving me briefly wondering if they were going to actually fall down the chart on physical release. That's already better than any single off Chemistry and "Wake Me Up", for those noting similarities.
Meat Loaf (if only he started singing about his own songs, we could have Meta Loaf) suffers the inevitable late week fall but still lands at 6, his best since ten years ago. Everyhit tells me that one of his hits went by the over-lengthy title "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" which links him nicely to our current number one single's genre as well as to our current number one album and its soundalike single. James Morrison single reaches 8, still sounds like KT Tunstall knockoff. The Ordinary Boys are pushing their reality TV fame for all it's worth at 10 - their new album includes not only their rereleased Lady Sovereign remix but also "Boys Will Be Boys", i.e. the lead single from their last album.
Jamie T is 13, just ahead of Beyonce's downloads. Amy Winehouse makes the top twenty with hers, too.
Pet Shop Boys suffer a non-top twenty place for the time since "Was It Worth It?" as "Numb" only makes 23 - should have stopped at two singles like last time, I guess. The Holloways are at 30. I guess even Fratellis fans have to draw the line somewhere. Rogue Traders (33, full, oops) and Cassie (38, downloads) round out the new entries in the forty.
The albums has one last hella boring week, with The Killers still at 1.
Sunday coming: McFly, who obviously have some kind of aversion to downloads, have enough fans left who haven't defected to Panic! At The Disco to take them to number 1 again. Girls Aloud look likely for their fifth 2 although Fedde Le Grand might push them close. Beyonce will have to settle for 5 and I take back what I said about Fratellis fans earlier as The View are heading top 10.
Amy Winehouse isn't doing much on physical sales and will only be up a couple from last week (this week? whatever), while The Magic Numbers might be a little disappointed with their fortunes too. Serves them right for ruining Jonathon Ross' Japanorama. The Long Blondes aren't going to be stars after all, even now they have finally got really good, while The Kooks have finally released one dull single too many to get any higher than 20 or so. The Raconteurs and a rather folorn looking Rihanna should also get top forty places.
The album chart looked like finally being a close run thing this week, but Meat Loaf's good sales and My Chemical Romance's very fine sales (more than 100K by the end of the week for sure) are no match for Robbie Williams, even a Robbie Williams who doesn't appear to know what he's doing any longer. Rod Stewart and John Legend are also going to clutter up the top and an outside top ten place doesn't look good for the aforementioned Ordinary Boys album.
