Chart Commentary 3/3/07
Singles
-------
The Kaiser Chiefs boot Mika off the #1 spot, claiming their first #1
single in the process.
A reminder of my a new system for singles, putting genuine NE's(+)
(whether CD or download) in capitals, and climbers(*) in lower case.
(+) Coming from outside the top 40
(*) Not including rebounds, unless they are due to the CD just being
released.
New Entries/Climbers
--------------------
Top 10 : Kelis #3, Fray #5, Gwen Stefani #7, Sophie Ellis Bextor #8,
Take That (Shine) #10

Albums
------
Amy Winehouse regains the #1 spot.
No new entries in the top 20 this week, but The Fray climb a massive 101
places to this week's #4, with the official release of their album!
Useful climbs for Killers, Lily Allen, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake
& Akon.
Johnny Cash re-enters at #20 with 'San Quentin'
Outside the top 20, there are good climbs for Amy Winehouse 'Frank',
Gwen Stefani's new album finally seems to be waking up - climbing 18
places to #29, just three below its peak. Gossip also climb well.
Next Week
---------
Singles
-------
A real puzzler as to who will be #1. It could be the Kaisers, The Fray,
or even a return for Mika.
Top 10 : Gossip, Gwen, Justin T
Top 20 : Nelly F, CASCADA, Killers, LIL CHRIS, Omarion, Lily Allen
Top 30 : none
Top 40 : Charlotte Hatherley, Maccabees, ALL SAINTS
Download possibles (only those not previously charting) : Joss Stone,
Regina Spektor, Robbie, Scissor Sisters, Ghosts
Albums
------
No such mystery here - the Kaiser Chiefs are certain to claim the #1
spot, probably by a 5-1 margin over the next best!
No-one of any significance is even bothering to challenge them, with
only Hayley Westernra likely to debut in the top 20.
