1. Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon
Kings of Leon stay on top a third week, earning a double crown as they also debut at #1 on the UK albums chart with Only By the Night. They join Duffy, Madonna, and Coldplay, all of whom also scored chart doubles.
3. Disturbia - Rihanna
Rihanna climbs back up to #3, the peak she reached 4 weeks ago. The lack of a physical release may be helping her album Good Girl Gone Bad, which is #2 this week on the albums chart, a distant second behind Kings of Leon. Her album is now the fourth best-selling album of the year in the UK, behind Duffy, Coldplay, and Nickelback.
5. In This City - Iglu & Hartly
Iglu & Hartley make an impressive nine place leap to #5, a bit of a surprise considering the physical CD was released 2 weeks ago.
7. You Make It Real - James Morrison
The new Daniel Powter may have bombed, but James Morrison proves he's got staying power with "You Make It Real," which becomes his third top 10 hit after 2006's "You Give Me Something" and "Wonderful World."
8. Girls - Sugababes
The Sugababes score their 15th top 10 hit this week. "Girls" gets its physical release next week. It's certainly a contender to become the group's 7th #1 hit.
10. There You'll Be (From "Pearl Harbor") - Faith Hill
Faith Hill's love ballad from the 2001 film Pearl Harbor makes a re-entry in the UK top 10 this week. Huh??!!! No, you're not dreaming, but rather witnesses the power X Factor has on the chart. The song was featured by a performer last weekend. Thus a 7 year-old single outsells the newly released...
13. Changes - Will Young
Ouch. Poor Will. The physical release of "Changes," which debuted at #10 on downloads last week, does nothing to improve the single's position, falling three spots this week to #13. He's outsold by a 7 year-old single from Faith Hill no less.
16. Love Lockdown - Kanye West
Kanye West's rather surprising release "Love Lockdown" makes a big debut at #16. It's a download-only release, but I expect it will climb over the next few weeks.
17. Lies - McFly
McFly are known for their big chart drops, and they make no exception with "Lies," down 13 spots from its #4 peak last week.
26. Another Way to Die - Alicia Keys and Jack White
At first I didn't care for the new James Bond them, but "Another Way to Die" is actually growing on me. It's not out in stores for another 2 weeks. The last Bond theme, Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale hit #7 in late 2006.
