Halfway point already. Live blogging makes the show go faster it seems.
20 (17). Paddy's Revenge - Steve Mac
Down three after debuting last week on downloads. The physical release is out tomorrow. This is an instrumental dance track with an Irish flavor. Not such a common thing. Still, it's not really impressing me.
19 (11). 5 Years Time - Noah & The Whale
Big drop for Noah & The Whale this week. I liked this song briefly, but now I'm tired of it.
18 (35). Handlebars - Flobots
Big jump for Flobots and "Handlebars." I hadn't heard this yet; it's interesting. Not sure what I think yet. This is out September 22.
17 (13). Viva la Vida - Coldplay
Their former #1 edges down a bit.
16 (12). No Air - Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown
I still love this song. Great single.
15 (10). Love Is Noise - The Verve
The Verve falls out of the top 10. I reviewed their album earlier today, which I found to be pretty ho-hum. This is definitely one of the better tracks on it. The 5 weeks this spent in the top 10 is actually the band's longest run there--"The Drugs Don't Work" spent 4 weeks and "Bitter Sweet Symphony" spent 3.
14 (18). Miss Independent - Ne-Yo
It's not out until the end of the month, but already selling strong on downloads, up 4 this week. Great song.
13 (9). Dance Wiv Me - Dizzee Rascal Featuring Calvin Harris & Chrome
12 (16). Cookie Jar - Gym Class Heroes Featuring The Dream
Gym Class heroes new single fails to reach the top 10. Last year they were in the top 10 twice with "Cupid's Chokehold" at #3 and "Clothes Off" at #5. So it turns out Travis in the band is Katy Perry's boyfriend. Fearne and Reg asked him if he minds it (referring to Katy's "I Kissed a Girl" line "hope my boyfriend don't mind it"). He said he doesn't as long as he remains her priority.
11 (14). See You Again (Remix) - Miley Cyrus
Miley climbs a bit, but still not a top 10 hit.
? I think it's pretty clear that Daniel Powter's new single "Next Plane Out" has missed the top 40. Sorry Daniel. "Bad Day" was great, but that seems to be all the public wants from you. I bet the record company will be dropping him soon. Also missing the top 40 is The Zutons' "What's Your Problem."
So who's #1? It looked like Kings of Leon going into the weekend, but it also looked like Glasvegas would top the albums chart and that didn't happen. It's pretty competitive week with Katy Perry hoping for a 6th week at #1, while Kings of Leon, Cliff Richard, The Pussycat Dolls, and Rihanna are all strong challengers for the top spot.
