Chart News

• The Sugababes landed their 6th UK #1 this week with "About You Now." The track arrives in stores tomorrow, so a second week at #1 would seem likely. This is the fourth time in a row that the lead single from a Sugababes album has topped the UK singles chart after "Freak Like Me," "Hole in the Head" and "Push the Button." They may also be headed for #1 on the UK airplay chart, where they are currently #4 and rising. That chart has been rather stagnant, with Plain White T's occupying the top slot for the fourth week with "Hey There Delilah."
• After all the fuss over Kanye and 50 on the US albums chart last week, it comes as a surprise to see that neither is number one this week. Kanye got bumped from the top by Reba McEntire's Reba Duets, which features the recent country #2, "Because of You" featuring Kelly Clarkson. Kanye West's "Stronger" was also deposed on the Hot 100, with Soulja Boy reclaiming the top spot with "Crank That."
• Pink is #1 this week on the US top 40 airplay chart with "Who Knew." It's her fourth #1 on this chart and the first time that she's scored two #1s from one album, in this case her fourth, I'm Not Dead. Her second album, Missundaztood, yielded three top 2 tracks, but only "Don't Let Me Get Me" made it to #1. Her other #1s are "U + Ur Hand" from earlier this year and her 2001 super collaboration with Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil Kim, "Lady Marmalade."
