Chart Commentary 5/1/08
Singles
-------
No doubt Leon Jackson will still be #1 this week, but I wouldn't be
surprised if his sales fall by as much as 75%.
New Entries/Climbers *
--------------------
Top 10 : none
Top 20 : Nickelback #15, Rihanna (DSTM) #16,
Top 30 : Kylie (Wow) #28, Booty Luv #29
Top 40 : Kate Nash (PS) #39
(* Climbers only if they reach a new peak)
Loads of other climbers & re-entries to the top 40 - most notably :
Hoosiers (GMA) #10 (29), Rihanna (HTILU) #22 (37), Kayne West (Str.) #24
(59), Hoosiers (WAR) #25 (56), Timbaland (TWAI) #27 (55), Amy W (BTB)
#30 (62), Mika (HA) #32 (57), PWT ##33 (67), Scouting For Girls (SSL)
#35 (66), Kaisers (Ruby) #38 (108)
New outside the top 40 (plus new peaks) : Britney (POM) #46, Mika (RTIE)
#49, Kanye West (Homecoming) #69.
Must mention the (predicted) re-appearance of Chasing Cars, resuming its
interrupted top 75 run at #50.
Albums
------
Leona holds at #1 for a 7th week, but this is likely to be her last, as
sales exhibit their normal post-Xmas collapse - not to mention the
effect of cut-price albums.
NE's (top 20) : none
New outside the top 20 : none
Notable Climbers/Re-entries : Mark Ronson #24 (up 19), Kaisers #31 (up
29), Editors #46 (up 23), Snow Patrol #47 (up 29), Nelly Furtado #48 (up
46), Killers #49 (up 36), Fergie #50 (up 53), Avril #51 (up 28), MCR #56
(up 49), Paolo Nutini #57 (up 27)
Next Week
---------
Singles
-------
If there were any credible challengers to Leon Jackson, I wouldn't
expect him to still be #1, but alas there aren't. I don't expect him to
have a 4th week at the top though, regardless.
Top 10 : none
Top 20 : White Stripes
Top 30 : Mika, Britney
Top 40 : Mutya, Orson
Any other possibilities?
Bound to be a few, as the Xmas songs make a McFly-like chart exit... :)
Albums
------
I guess Radiohead must have a chance of #1, but it depends on how many
of their fans were waiting for the physical release of 'In Rainbows', or
weren't happy with the quality of the 'free' download.
Top 20 NE : none
Others : none
