UK Singles Chart, 9/23/2006

1. I Don't Feel Like Dancin' - Scissor Sisters

The Scissor Sisters hold on to #1 for a second week. Their second album, Ta-Dah is out today in the UK--an easy, EASY #1 for the album's chart next week. But will that spell disaster for the single? With The Killers' "When You Were Young" single out today, it seems the 'Sisters' run at the top may have come to an end. They also spend a 6th week atop the airplay chart, tying it with Lily Allen's "Smile" for second-longest run on the chart (Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" spent 8 weeks at #1).

3. London Bridge - Fergie

Making a big leap on the back of her street release for "London Bridge" is Fergie, the Black Eyed Peas female member who goes it solo this week. Fergie joined the 'Peas for the release of their third album, Elephunk, which launched their career into soaring heights due to the international #1 hit "Where Is The Love." Fergie shined more on their fourth album, notable for hits like "Don't Phunk With My Heart" and "My Humps." At #3, this ties the peak of those 2 singles (it did better in the US, spending 3 weeks at #1 this summer). A good first release from her.

5. When You Were Young - The Killers

The Killers return this week debuting at #5 on downloads only with "When You Were Young," a fantastic comeback single for them. It's a strong contender for #1 next week. It's their third top 10 single, bested so far only by the #3 peak of "Somebody Told Me."

10. Something About You - Jamelia

This is pathetic! This is a great pop song. It should be much MUCH higher. C'mon! It's Jamelia's 6th top 10 hit and first single from her forthcoming third album, which I've heard is really really good. Can't wait.

29. Target - Embrace

Well I guess the Brits have had enough of them for now. Jeez. This is a good song too. This is the follow-up to their World Cup song, "World At Your Feet," which hit #3.
