UK Singles Chart, May 15, 2010

1. Good Times - Roll Deep
2. OMG - Usher feat. Will.I.Am
3. She Said - Plan B

Roll Deep holds #1 for a second week with "Good Times." In doing so, it keeps Usher's "OMG" in second place for a third consecutive week. "OMG" has now spent 5 weeks in the top 2, longer than any other Usher single. Plan B holds at #3 for a completely static top 3.

4. Watercolour - Pendulum

Australian rock band Pendulum has the week's highest debut. "Watercolour" is the first single from their upcoming third album, Immersion. Their last, 2008's In Silico, gave them two top 10 hits, including their first top 10 single, "Propane Nightmares." At #4, "Watercolour" is now their highest-charting hit.

5. Candy - Aggro Santos feat. Kimberly Wyatt

Clubby rap continues to be the sound du jour, with Roll Deep still at #1, the top 5 now welcomes a second such single, Aggro Santo's "Candy." This is his first top 40 hit. Kimberly Wyatt is a former member of the Pussycat Dolls, having left the group earlier this year.

6. Dirty Picture - Taio Cruz feat. Ke$ha

Taio Cruz climbs four notches to #6 with "Dirty Picture," his fourth top 10 hit. It features American pop starlet Ke$ha, who hit #4 earlier this year with "Tik Tok," a #1 hit in many other countries.

12. Ridin' Solo - Jason DeRulo

Jason DeRulo's is this week's big climber, up 26 spots to #12 with his third top 40 hit, the follow-up to #1 single "In My Head." This gets a physical release at the end of the month, so expect it to slip into the top 10 next week and stay there a bit.

16. All Night Long - Alexandra Burke

Alexandra Burke climbs 18 notches to #16. While fans await the release of the new single version featuring Pitbull, the original album cut has managed to chart quite nicely. Said single is still a week away, so there's one more week for "All Night Long" to potentially chart as a top 10 hit, and then again when the new version is out. Will the Official Chart folks treat these as two separate songs? Past history would seem to indicate that they will.

25. Bittersweet - Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Only #25? C'mon! This a great song. I've been really into it lately. Shame to see that the first single from her fourth album, Straight to the Heart, can't even beat the rather underwhelming #23 peak of the second single from her last album, "Me and My Imagination" (another great song that deserved better). I guess she's just not hip anymore.

30. Te Amo - Rihanna

Rihanna scores her 18th top 40 hit with "Te Amo," the third British single from Rated R, following "Russian Roulette" and "Rude Boy," which both hit #2. The physical single is out in 2 weeks. I would imagine this is good for the top 10. In the US, the next single will be "Rockstar 101," which isn't as good IMO. When it was released Rated R seemed like it might not generate the hits like Good Girl Gone Bad, but time has proven that wrong, with the above mentioned having done well, as well as "Hard" which was US top 10 hit. Plus there are potential singles in waiting--perhaps "Photographs," "Stupid in Love" or "Fire Bomb?" I could hear all of those on the radio.
