The UK has a brand new chart-topper, a collaboration between UK singer song-writer Jessie J and US rapper B.o.B entitled ‘Price tag’ has flown straight in at number 1. It’s Jessie’s first number 1 hit and second hit in total, the last being ‘Do it like a dude’ which peaked at number 2 last month and this week spends its 11th charting week at number 7. ‘Price tag’ is B.o.B’s 3rd UK number 1 and 4th UK top 20 hit, he was last in the chart alongside Rivers Cuomo on ‘Magic’ which peaked at 16 last November, his previous chart toppers were ‘Nothin’ on you’ and ‘Airplanes’, both in 2010.
Last week’s number 1, Ke$ha’s ‘We r who we r’ slides 2 places down to number 3 after just a week on top; sandwiched between them is Bruno Mars’ ‘Grenade’ which spends its 4th charting week at number, while simultaneously his previous number 1 hit spends a 20th week in the chart, ‘Just the way you are’ is at 24.
This week’s second-highest new entry belongs to Spanish singer song-writer Enrique Iglesias; debuting at 5 is ‘Tonight’, his 15th top 40 hit and immediately his 9th to reach the top 10. He was last on the countdown with ‘Heartbeat’ which peaked at number 8 last October. His biggest hit to date is of course ‘Hero’ which spent 4 weeks at number 1 in 2002. ‘Tonight’ also features US Rapper Ludacris who has had 15 previous hits including a number 1 hit ‘Yeah’ alongside Usher in 2004.
It’s not looking good for Diddy-Dirty Money, after a fortnight in 4th place, this week it slides to 6, the news also isn’t good for Chase and Status, ‘Blind faith’ slides from 5 to 10. It also looks bleak for Tinchy Stryder, after shooting up to 14 last week, ‘Let it rain’ dips 8 places.
After leaping 20 places last week, Taio Cruz’s ‘Higher’ (now featuring Kylie Minogue) is up 9 places in its 3rd charting week to a new peak of number 8. It now becomes Taio’s 7th top 10 hit and Kylie’s 34th.
Right behind is another climber, albeit a smaller one, after a number 10 debut last week, this week Chris Brown’s ‘Yeah x3’ climbs a place to number 9.
Just outside the top 10 is another climber, Pink’s ‘F**kin perfect’ is up 10 places to a new peak of number 11. It now surpasses the number 13 peak of her last hit ‘Raise your glass’ which currently spends its 13th week inside the top 40 at 36.
Having progressed up the chart for the past month, this week Martin Solveig and Dragonette’s ‘Hello’ spends a second week at its current peak of number 13.
By far the weeks greatest gainer is Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding’s ‘Wonderman’, after a number 40 debut last week, this week it’s up 26 places to a new number 14 peak. Both acts have a chart presence elsewhere, Tinie with ‘Eyes wide shut’ at 17 and ‘Invincible’ at 40, and Ellie’s ‘Your song’ at 29.
There are more new entries to report; at 20 is a new hit for US R&B star Rihanna, ‘S & M’ is her 23rd UK Top 40 hit and once again makes her able to boast 4 simultaneous top 40 hits, also charting with ‘What’s my name’ at 15, ‘Who’s that chick’ at 16 and ‘Only girl’ at 26. Can ‘S & M’ become her 6th number 1 hit in the coming weeks?
Right behind at 21 is another new arrival, a collaboration between US Rappers Dr Dre, Eminem and US Singer-song writer Skylar Grey entitled ‘I need a doctor’. It’s Eminem’s 25th UK hit, he was last in the chart with ‘Love the way you lie’ a duet with Rihanna which clocked up 30 weeks inside the top 40 beginning last summer and ending in January, it peaked at number 2 and became last years bestseller, leaving the single that followed ‘No love’ fade into the background, only peaking at 33. Eminem has had 7 UK chart toppers, most recently ‘Smack that’, a duet with Akon in 2006. ‘I need a doctor’ is Dr Dre’s 12th UK Top 40 hit, he was last in the chart on another collaboration with Eminem, ‘Crack a bottle’ which peaked at 4 in February 2009, his biggest UK hit to date is ‘The next episode’ which peaked at 3 in 2001. As for Skylar Grey, it’s her second UK Top 40 hit, her first being her collaboration with Diddy-Dirty Money ‘Coming home’ which currently resides at number 6.
Climbing the bottom half of chart this week is Noah and the whale’s ‘L.i.f.e.g.o.e.s.o.n.’ After a number 37 debut last week, their second hit keeps its foot in the door of the top 40, rising 7 places to a new number 30 peak.
Fans of Avril Lavigne were no doubt disappointed that her comeback single ‘What the hell’ only peaked at 29 last month, this week however the song returns to the chart, a re-entry at 32.
The unstoppable Adele is climbing the chart again; this week ‘Someone like you’ creeps 3 places up the chart to a new peak of number 33, meanwhile ‘Rolling in the deep’ spends a 5th week inside the top 5 and ‘Make you feel my love’ spends its 22nd charting week at number 23.
This week’s final new entry lands at 39, the chart debut for UK Singer song-writer Yasmin, entitled ‘On my own’.
Can Jessie hold on to number 1 for a second week? Will Bruno, Adele, Enrique, Rihanna, Taio, Tinie or Diddy climb to the top or could Chipmunk’s ‘Champion’, Eric Prydz’ ‘Niton’ Loick Essien & N-Dubz’ ‘Stuttering’ or Modestep’s ‘Feel good’ enter at the top next week?
