Chart update – w/c 28 Jun 2010
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 28 June 2010
I’m guessing England football fans did a lot of shouting yesterday afternoon, though that was too late to stop the Dizzee Rascal/James Cordon football song ‘Shout’ from slipping from number one to three in this week’s singles chart.
K’Naan’s ‘Wavin Flag’ stayed at two though. Perhaps it was bought by the cunts who still took massive flags with them to Glastonbury this weekend, despite every rational human being agreeing last Autumn that flags at music festivals are as irritating as they are pointless, and are only ever taken to such events by totally selfish wankers. And K’Naan fans possibly. Who knows? Anyway, well done him for staying at number two.
The singles chart number one, though, was claimed this week by Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg with their song ‘California Gurls’, which went straight into the top spot. Other new entries in the still urban heavy singles Top 40 came from Eminem and Rihanna with ‘Love The Way You Lie’ at 7, Scissor Sisters with ‘Fire With Fire’ at 11, Diddy and Dirty Money with ‘Hello Good Morning’ at 22 and Big Boi with ‘Shutterbugg’ at 31.
There was more Eminem in the albums chart, where he went straight in at number one with ‘Recovery’, knocking that Oasis retrospective album into position number two. Meanwhile the Black Eyed Peas album ‘The End’ shot back up to number three for a really obvious reason I can’t quite put my finger on just at the moment
Other new entries come from Example with ‘Won’t Go Quietly’ at 4, Miley Cyrus with ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ at 8, Ozzy Osbourne with ‘Scream’ at 12, that Kele chap with ‘The Boxer’ at 20, Lissie with ‘Catching A Tiger’ at 22 and Usher with ‘Let Em Ave It’ at 35.
The charts are compiled by the team at the Official Charts Company, who are all lovely and would never dream of taking a silly big flag to a music festival.
