Chart update – w/c 17 May 2010
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 17 May 2010
It’s chart time again. It comes around so quickly, doesn’t it? This week, Roll Deep remain at number one for the third week in a row. And speaking of things coming in threes, Jason Derulo has also scored his third top three hit, with ‘Ridin Solo’ rising up from twelve to two after eleven weeks on the chart.
Also moving up into the top ten from lower positions are Fyfe Dangerfield, up seven places to seven with ‘She’s Always A Woman’, and Alexandra Burke, up eight places to eight with ‘All Night Long’. New entries come from Edward Maya with ‘Stereo Love’ and the Glee cast with their version of ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’.
New outside the top ten are Christina Aguilera at twelve with ‘Not Myself Tonight’, Fugative with ‘Crush at 26, and the Glee kids (again) with ‘Run Joey Run’ at 27.
Over in the album chart, there are new entries left right and centre, starting with Keane at number one with their fourth album ‘Night Train’, and Lady Gaga’s ‘The Remix’, featuring remixed version of tracks from ‘The Fame’, which is new at three (one place ahead of ‘The Fame’ itself). Most exciting, though, is the appearance of The National’s new album ‘High Violet’ at number five. I said recently it was likely to be the album that nudged the band’s popularity over into a new realm, but going top five completely exceeds my expectations. Well done them, it is a very fine album.
Moving on, Foals are new at number eight with ‘Total Life Forever’, Celine Dion’s ‘Taking Changes World Tour – The Concert’ live album is at eleven (despite the title, I think she did perform more than one show on her world tour), Slash’s eponymous new solo album is in at seventeen, Alicia Key’s ‘Platinum Collection’ compilation is at 20, Toni Braxton’s ‘Pulse’ is at 28, and The Dead Weather’s ‘Sea Of Cowards’ is at 32.
The charts are marinated for seven days by The Official Charts Company.
