I know this is really late, but hey--better late than never.
1. Dance Wiv Me - Dizzee Rascal (featuring Calvin Harris & Chrome)
English rapper Dizzee Rascal has been a critics darling since arriving on the scene in 2003 with his Mercury Prize-nominated album Boy in Da Corner, but until now he's never had a #1 hit--his previous best being the #10 single "Stand Up Tall." While Dizzee is certainly deserving with this great single, credit should also go to Calvin Harris, the Scottish DJ at work here. While not yet as prominent as say Mark Ronson, Harris is coming into is own, having produced a top 10 hit earlier this year for Kylie Minogue, "In My Arms," and two top 10s for himself last year, "Acceptable in the '80s" and "The Girls."
3. All I Ever Wanted - Basshunter
Swedish dance act Basshunter follows up his #1 hit from earlier this year, "Now You're Gone," with a new entry this week at #3, "All I Ever Wanted." Like "Now You're Gone," this is an English remake of Swedish single Basshunter previously released, "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA," a top 10 hit in several European countries after it was released in 2006.
22. Electric Feel - MGMT
MGMT got an unexpected boost this week, up nine spots to #22 in its second week. So close to being a top 20 hit.
30. No Substitute Love - Estelle
"No Substitute Love" proves to be no substitute for "American Boy," following that massive #1 hit into a lowly #30 slot. While this is more in keeping with Estelle's chart performance prior to "American Boy," it is surprising she couldn't follow up such a major hit with at least a top 10.
