Chart update – w/c 21 Jun 2010
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 June 2010
Presumably England fans are now shouting along with Dizzee Rascal and James Cordon not out of excitement but out of rage? I’d expect so. Either way, there was enough shouting going on last week to ensure the rapper and actor type stay at number one in the singles chart this week with their World Cup anthem ‘Shout’. There was seemingly plenty of flag waving last week too, because K’Naan’s ‘Wavin Flag’ moves up a place to number two.
New entries on the singles chart this week come from Example with ‘Kickstarts’ at three, Kylie with ‘All The Lovers’ at four, Robyn with ‘Dancing On My Own’ at eight, Team Glee with ‘Over The Rainbow’ at 30, Kele Okereke with ‘Tenderoni’ at 31, and Team Glee again with ‘Any Way You Want It/Lovin Touchin’Sque’ at 32′.
On the albums chart, the Oasis retrospective come cash in ‘Time Flies’ goes straight in at one, getting the slightly irrelevant but somehow noteworthy accolade of being the 900th number one in the history of the albums chart. At two is Team Glee, yet again, with ‘Journey To Regionals’, a six tracker featuring songs from the TV series’ season one finale, I think.
The other new entries on the albums chart are Crowded House at twelve with ‘Intriguer’, Drake at fifteen with ‘Thank Me Later’, Gaslight Anthem at eighteen with ‘American Slang’, Kasabain with their albums multi-pack at 22, and Tom Petty at 38 with ‘Mojo’.
The charts are shouted out very loudly to anyone who will listen, each Sunday afternoon, by the Official Charts Company.
