1. Maneater - Nelly Furtado
It's a second week at #1 for Nelly Furtado, and a third week at the top looks likely for the Portuguese-Canadian songstress. Her album, Loose, hit US record stores this week, backed by her US single, currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Promiscuous."
3. Hips Don't Lie - Shakira Featuring Wyclef Jean
It's topping the charts in the U.S., but can't quite reach the top in the UK. Still, at #3, it's the second-biggest hit she's had in Britain, next to the #2 peak of her debut, "Whenever, Wherever."
5. Who Says You Can't Come Home? - Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence in the UK. "Have a Nice Day" hit #6 last year, and 2 singles later he has his top 5 hit since "Everyday" hit #5 in 2002. The same can't be said for his home country, where this single peaked at #23.
10. Hurry Up England (The People's Anthem) - Sham 69 & The Special Assembly
Yes, another one of those. Baddiel & Skinner's "3 Lions" is up to #9. World cup songs take up positions 8 (Embrace), 9 (Baddiel/Skinner & Lightning Seeds), 10 (Sham 69), 11 (Tony Christie), 15 (Crazy Frog), 17 (Stan Boardman), and 40 (Trinidad & Tobago Tartan Army).
12. My My My - Armand Van Helden
I think this might have a World Cup connection too, although not in an official capacity. It's the dance artists biggest hit since he went to #4 in May 2000 with "Koochy." It's also a re-release, and went to #15 in 2004. This version is credited as a "Funktuary Mix."
20. So Under Pressure - Dannii Minogue
Dannii Minogue seems to have run out of steam. "So Under Pressure" is her second release in a row to miss the top 10--last time she went to #11 with "Perfection"--after a 5-single run of solid top 10 hits, including the #2 hit "I Begin to Wonder." This is one of the new tracks from her greatest hits collection out this week.
26. They Don't Care About Us - Michael Jackson
And we don't care about you.
29. Mas Que Nada - Sergio Mendes Featuring Black Eyed Peas
This charts on downloads and should be top 10 next week. It's featured in a Nike ad in Britain, hence it's sole popularity there.
39. Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast) - Lostprophets
Another one charting on first-week downloads. Great track--I hope it goes top 10 next week with physical release.
