1. 1. Hero - The X Factor Finalists
The X Factor finalists score a second week at #1. I haven't seen the sales figures yet, but it's potentially already one of the year's five best-selling singles, perhaps even #2 behind Duffy's "Mercy."
2. NEW> If I Were a Boy - Beyonce
Beyonce's first single from her upcoming third album makes an impressive #2 debut on download sales. As such, it becomes a strong contender to unseat the X Factor bunch next week when the single is out in stores. This is Beyonce's 13th UK top 40 hit.
3. 2. The Promise - Girls Aloud
4. NEW> Womanizer - Britney Spears
Britney Spears makes a big splash on download sales at #4 with "Womanizer," due for CD release Nov. 24. It's her 22nd UK top 40 and 19th to land in the top 10. Despite (or maybe because of) the controversy she stirred during the release of her last album, she still hit #3 with "Gimme More" and #2 with "Piece of Me."
5. NEW> Forgive Me - Leona Lewis
After an 8-month hiatus, during which time Miss Lewis scored a major #1 hit in the US with "Bleeding Love" (and just missed the top 10 with "Better in Time") she returns with another UK single, "Forgive Me." The track was recorded for the US release of Spirit, and will be available on a UK special edition out later this month. #5 isn't bad, but after the massive success of "Bleeding Love" and "Better in Time" (and the fact that this single hasn't been on the version of Spirit on sale in the UK), I would have tipped this as a #1 contender, not a single that barely made the top 5 (it wasn't selling in the top 5 until Friday). Still, it's Leona Lewis's fourth top 5 hit.
6. 4. Infinity 2008 - The Guru Josh Project
7. 6. Hot N Cold - Katy Perry
8. NEW> The Boy Does Nothing - Alesha Dixon
Alesha Dixon was a member of the girl group Mis-Teeq, best known for their #2 hits "All I Want" and "Scandalous." Dixon tried to launch a solo career in 2006, but after her first few singles failed to sell well, the album was shelved (except in Japan). Now she's back with big-name producers and a cool sound. "The Boy Does Nothing" is her first top 10 hit.
9. 10. Another Way to Die - Jack White and Alicia Keys (still climbing--the movie is out this week.)
10. 3. So What - Pink
