The UK has a new chart topper, courtesy of US Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez; ‘On the floor’ is the weeks highest new entry, landing straight in at number 1. It’s her first UK Top 40 hit since ‘Do it well’ peaked at 11 in October 2007. Overall it’s her 18th UK Top 40 hit, 15th top 10 hit, 14th top 5 hit and 3rd chart topper, the previous number 1 hits being ‘Love don’t cost a thing’ in 2001 and ‘Get right’ in 2005. ‘On the floor’ also features US rapper Pitbull who spends his first ever week at number 1, it’s his 9th UK Top 40 hit, the highest charting previously being 3 songs that peaked at number 4, ‘I know you want me’ in 2009 and ‘All night long’ with Alexandra Burke and ‘I like it’ with Enrique in 2010. If you think ‘On the floor’ sounds familiar you’re right, it samples Kaoma’s hit ‘Lambada’ which peaked at 4 in 1989.

Jennifer’s not the only new arrival in the top 10; the second-highest new entry belongs to UK R&B star Katy B. ‘Broken record’, her 4th UK Top 40 hit debuts at number 8, following up her biggest hit to date ‘Lights on’ which peaked at 4 in January.

So after climbing back to number 1 last week, Adele’s ‘Someone like you’ slides a place back to number 2 leaving its total weeks on top at 5, although it is now officially her biggest selling song to date. She still maintains a trio of simultaneous top 40 hits however with ‘Rolling in the deep’ at 15 and ‘Make you feel my love’ her second biggest seller at 40.
Next song down is the biggest and highest climber of the week, LMFAO’s ‘Party rock anthem’ leaps 19 places up the chart to a new number 3 peak to become their second biggest hit, beaten only by the number 1 success of ‘Gettin’ over you’ with David Guetta last June.

Right behind is last week’s big climber from Black Eyed Peas; ‘Just can’t get enough’ slides a place this week however, falling to number 4 in its 4th charting week.

Climbing back up the top 10 is Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Black and yellow’, moving up 1 to number 6 in its 4th charting week, now just 1 place off the number 5 peak it hit last month.

There’s good news for Mann and 50 Cent, in its third charting week, ‘Buzzin’ climbs 4 places to a new peak of number 11. Can it become Mann’s 1st top 10 hit and 50 Cent’s 12th next week? 50 Cent also features in the lower regions of the chart, alongside Jeremih on ‘Down on me’ at 31.

Right behind is another climber, Kanye West’s collaboration with Katy Perry ‘E.T’ jumps 17 places to number 12, thus becoming Kanye’s 17th UK Top 20 hit and Katy’s 9th. As if that wasn’t enough, Katy’s last smash hit ‘Firework’ climbs back up 4 places to number 36 in its 23rd charting week.

5 places down is another Kanye climber, ‘All of the lights’ featuring Rihanna and Drake is up 2 places to another new peak of number 17. It’s not the only Rihanna record to climb, ‘Who’s that chick?’ climbs back up 2 places at 26 in its 18th charting week; and let’s not neglect the fact that once again she has 4 simultaneous hits, with ‘S&M’ at 9 and ‘Only girl’ at 39.

Cee Lo Green’s former number 1 ‘F**k you’ has finally left the chart after a 25 week chart run (sliding to number 41), but he’s now cracking the top 20 with ‘Bright lights, bigger city’, shooting 12 places up to number 19 in it’s second charting week, now making it his third solo top 20 success out of 3 and his 2nd biggest hit of his solo career, surpassing the number 20 peak of ‘It’s ok’ in January.

Yo-yoing around yet again is Martin Solveig and Dragonette’s ‘Hello’, this week climbing 2 to number 33 in its 13th charting week, the track still yet to reach the top 10.

This week’s big losers are Snoop Dogg’s ‘Sweat’ which slides 4 to 16, now looking set to have peaked at 12 last week, after clawing its way slowly up to number 14 last week, Noah and the whale’s ‘L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N’ slides 9 to 23, Glee Cast’s ‘Thriller/Head’s will role’ slides 7 to 30 in its second charting week and plummeting 23 places down to number 34 is Peter Kay and Susan Boyle’s ‘I know him so well’.

Can Mann, Katy Perry, Kanye West and Cee Lo Green climb into the top 10 next week? Will any of the above ‘bubbling under’ hits enter the top 40? Most importantly, can JLO hold on to the top for a second week or could Adele, Black Eyed Peas or LMFAO climb to number 1 in 7 days time?

257000 Adele

03/04/2011 - JLO's On The Floor is top of the pile while Adele's 21 scores biggest week yet on Mothers' Day

Global entertainment superstar Jenifer “JLO” Lopez storms to the top of the Official Singles Chart with new release On The Floor featuring US rapper Pitbull selling over 130,000 copies in its first week alone and relegating Adele’s Someone Like You to number two.

On The Floor is the third Official Singles Chart number one for Lopez, following previous number ones Love Don’t Cost A Thing (2001) and Get Right (2005) and another nine Official Singles Chart Top 5 hits.

Lopez has sold over 55 million records worldwide and has starred in multiple box office hits including The Wedding Planner and Monster-In-Law. She is also the face of numerous product launches, including world-wide campaigns for L’Oreal and Venus Gillette and her own most recent fragrance, Love and Glamour, which have together generated revenues of over $1 billion.

On The Floor is the lead single from her forthcoming album Love?

There are just two new entries in this week’s Official Singles Chart Top 10; electro hip-hop duo LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem which features Paradiso Girls singer Lauren Bennet and writer/producer Goonrock climbs from last week’s 22 to this week’s number three while UK singer-songwriter Katy B notches up her third Official Singles Chart Top 10 hit with new single Broken Record straight in at number 8.

In the Official Albums Chart it’s another record breaking week for Adele as her album 21extends its run at number one to 10 consecutive weeks, a feat no other act has achieved for 25 years since Dire Strait’s Brothers In Arms spent 10 weeks at number one in 1986.

Remarkably for such a long run, 21 records its biggest sales week ever with a phenomenal week’s tally of over 250,000, a week-on-week increase of 65% and a reflection of a general increase in sales in the run-up to Mothers’ Day.

Ronan Keating is another artist to benefit from the “Mothers’ Day Effect.” Having had the number one album on Mothers’ Day for the previous two years, with Boyzone’s Brother (2010) and his solo Songs For My Mother (2009), his homage to songwriter Burt Bacharach, When Ronan Met Burt, moves up two places to this week’s number three from last week’s number five.

Meanwhile Adele now holds the chart double for biggest single and album of the year so far with Someone Like You over-taking Bruno Mars’ Grenade to become the best-selling single of the year so far alongside 21 as the best-selling album of the year so far. Adele’s debut album 19 is now the second biggest album of the year so far, having overtaken Rihanna’s Loud.

Adele’s 19 also holds position at number two in the weekly Official Albums Chart while the Official Albums Chart Top 10 sees three new entries; 51-year-old 2010 X Factor semi-finalist Mary Byrne’s debut album Mine And Yours is straight in at number six, Radiohead’s The King Of Limbs is straight in at number seven and Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale is straight in at number eight. Meanwhile Eva Cassidy’s Simply Eva is a re-entry at number ten, up from last week’s number 19, having peaked at number four in February.

Several of these are likely to feature as part of Jo Whiley’s new BBC Radio 2 show when she will take a weekly look at Official Albums Chart highlights starting tomorrow between 8pm and 9pm. Whiley will play select album tracks and review some of the week’s new releases, with a guest reviewer – the first guest will be NME editor Krissi Murison.

Singles

Someone Like You has been knocked off the top of the singles chart for the second time as the introductory single from Jennifer Lopez's seventh album, Love? claims the top spot.

Undoubtedly benefitting from four weeks of airplay before its release – clearly it wasn’t an ‘on air, on sale’ choice - On The Floor, which features a rap from Pitbull, is Lopez’s third number one, following Love Don’t Cost A Thing (2001) and Get Right (2005).

First week sales of 133,179 copies - the highest by any single for 11 weeks - represent a new high for Lopez, whose best week hitherto came when her first single If You Had My Love sold 77,421 copies to enter at number four in 1999. It’s still her biggest single, with cumulative sales of 341,154 eclipsing both Love Don’t Cost A Thing (213,756) and Get Right (224,786).

Someone Like You dips to number two on the weekly chart but rises to number one on the year-to-date rankings. It sold 65,414 copies last week, to increase its overall sales to 698,020 – enough to relegate previous leader Bruno Mars’ Grenade (665,054) to number two.

American rappers LMFAO land their third Top 10 hit, with Party Rock Anthe dashing 22-3 (53,657 sales). The first single from their second album, Sorry For Party Rocking, it also features Lauren Bennett and Goonrock.

Appearances can be deceptive, and although it looks like Black Eyed Peas’ latest single, Just Can’t Get Enough, has peaked, as it slips 3-4, it actually registers a 10.40% increase in sales week-on-week to 50,166

Katy B racks up her fourth Top 20 hit and third Top 10 hit in seven months, with Broken Record providing this week’s highest debut, at number eight (32,804 sales). Like Katy On A Mission (number five last September), Perfect Stranger (number 16 in October, and credited to Magnetic Man feat. Katy and Lights On (number four in January, with Ms Dynamite), Broken Record is on the urban singer/songwriter’s debut album On A Mission, which is released today (4th).

The chart’s other Katy – Katy Perry – secures her fourth Top 20 hit from second album Teenage Dream as E.T. sprints 29-12 (25,672 sales). The track, which also features Kanye West, follows California Gurls (number one), Teenage Dream (number two) and Firework (number three).

Despite being the last and lowest charting, Firework is likely to end up as the biggest selling single from Teenage Dream: it has sold 651,129 copies to date, including 8,345 last week, putting it ahead of Teenage Dream (443,448) and hot on the heels of California Gurls (680,118). The Teenage Dream album climbs 33-31 (8,140 sales) this week, and has sold 665,043 copies, more than Perry’s 2008 debut, One Of The Boys (610,118).

There is, incidentally, another version of Firework in the Top 75 this week. Debuting at number 55 (4,896 sales) it’s the highest of three new entries by Glee Cast, who have now had 72 hits, 27 of them this year. They also covered Teenage Dream, reaching number 36 six weeks ago.

Internet phenomenon Rebecca Black’s debut single Friday makes modest progress, rising 61-60 (4,554 sales) on its second week on the chart. At 13 years and nine months, the youthful Californian is one of the youngest American female solo stars ever to chart, behind Willow Smith – who was barely 10 years and two months when she was whipping her hair in chart action recently – and Stacy Lattisaw (13 years and seven months when she jumped to the beat in 1980) and marginally ahead of Marie Osmond, 13 years and 11 months at the time her paper roses bloomed in 1973.

Overall singles sales, at 3,151,625, are up 5.64% week-on-week, and 10.62% above same week 2010 sales of 2,849,161.

Albums

With Mother’s Day gift-buying helping to boost album sales, the runaway chart champion, for the 10th week in a row, is Adele’s 21.

It is the first album ever to sell more than 100,000 copies for 10 weeks in a row, 21 scorched to 257,731 sales last week – its best weekly tally yet, easily besting the 208,090 copies it sold on its debut week - to raise its 69 day tally to 1,754,319.

The album moves ahead of Madonna’s Immaculate Collection in the category of most consecutive weeks at number one for an album by a female solo artist, and is a week away from sharing the title for most weeks at number one in total for an album by a female artist.

The record is currently shared by Sahnia Twain’s Come On Over (1999) and Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill (1996), both of which required multiple tenures to amass 11 weeks at number one. The last album to spend more consecutive weeks at number one by any act was Bob Marley & The Wailers’ Legend, which reigned for 12 weeks in 1984.

21’s domination is such that it has sold more than a million more copies in 2011 than its nearest challenger – which just happens to be Adele’s 2008 debut album 19, which moves 3-2 on the year to date rankings with 465,289 2011 sales (73,276 of them last week, just 64 below its first/best weeks sale), raising its career tally to 1,196,100. The album it displaces, Rihanna’s Loud, has sold 1,280,934 copies since its release, 441,326 of them this year, including 35,127 last week.

Available for some time on download via their website but previously ineligible for the chart, Radiohead’s eighth album, The King Of Limbs, went legit last week, with the digital version spreading to other retailers, and LP and CD versions being released. It debuts at number seven, with 33,469 sales.

Their last album of new material, In Rainbows, also had its initial sales impact blunted by being available digitally for three months on a ‘pay what you like’ basis ahead of its wider January 2008 release, which brought the band its fifth number one on sales of 44,602 copies.

Britney Spears’ seventh studio album, Femme Fatale, will be her sixth number one in her native America but the 29 year old has never made number one here, and Femme Fatale fails to break her duck, debuting at number eight (31,650 sales). Spears’ last studio album, Circus, opened at number four and enjoyed brisk first week sales of 76,231 thanks to its November release date.

The first finalist from the seventh season of The X Factor to deliver an album, Mary Byrne debuts at number six with Mine & Yours. The album sold 33,986 copies last week for the 51 year old, and is a bigger hit in her homeland (Ireland), where it debuts at number one this week ending Adele’s reign.

There are also Top 40 debuts this week for David Garrett’s Rock Symphonies (number 21, 11,119 sales); Within Temptation’s The Unforgiven (number 23, 10,460 sales); Panic At The Disco’s Vices & Virtues (number 29, 8,998 sales); and The Band Of The Coldstream Guards’ Pride Of A Nation (number 36, 6,929 sales.

The Mothers Day effect helped sales to climb 32.66% week-on-week to 2,457,831. That’s 9.36% above same calendar week 2010 sales of 2,247,421, which coincided with the Easter weekend. Mother’s Day last year came two weeks earlier and precipitated sales of 2,590,338 – 5.39% higher than last week.
