30 (20). Daddy's Gone - Glasvegas
Glasvegas is down 10 this week. The band's eponymous debut album was released Monday, and I expect it will be the UK's #1 album this week. I'd like to check it out, as this is pretty decent rock.
29 (new). In The Ayer - Flo Rida Featuring Will.I.Am
Flo Rida scores his third UK top 40 single this week. Just as in the U.S., his first single "Low" was a big hit (#2), and his second, "Elevator," was not (#2). This is a debut with a physical release, so I think this will be topping out here. Sorry Flo. I haven't listened to the Chart Show in quite some time--Fearne and Reggie are quite funny.
28 (21). Stepping Stone - Duffy
Poor Duffy. Struck out with her fourth single. Pity. It's a great song, just like all her others.
27 (22). Closer - Ne-Yo
Ne-Yo on the way down; "Miss Independent" will surely be on the way up later.
26 (39). Just Stand Up - Stand Up to Cancer
The cancer charity single, also a hit in the U.S., is up 13 this week.
25 (23). Spiralling - Keane
After peaking at #23 last week, Keane's preview single from their forthcoming third album Perfect Symmetry falls two spots. The album's first official single, "The Lovers Are Losing," will be out Oct. 20, a week after the album's release. Odd timing I think.
24 (new). Angel in the Night - Basshunter
And here is the new Basshunter single as promised, selling on downloads in advance of its September 29 release. It's got more of a rocky vibe, but no one would mistake this for rock. It's solidly Swedish eurodisco...and not that great.
23 (new). Lies - McFly
McFly follow up their recent #2 hit "One for the Radio" with "Lies." The physical release is out tomorrow. This is the band's 15th top 40 hit. All the 14 others were top 10, including seven #1 singles. This is actually pretty good.
22 (15). Boyfriend - Alphabeat
Alphabeat slipping down after 2 weeks at #15. Shame this wasn't top 10. It's one of my favorite songs at the moment and definitely the best thing the Danish band has released so far.
21 (new). In This City - Iglu & Hartly
This is a cool song. Physical release out tomorrow. This is the band's first top 40 hit.
Albums chart update: So Metallica has the UK's new #1 album this week with "Death Magnetic" and Glasvegas is in at #2 with their debut. Elbow rebounds to #7 thanks to their Mercury Award.
