UK Chart Roundup: The Saturdays Sound More Like The Mondays, Lady Gaga Is #1

I'm not quite sure what it is that happened to The Saturdays over time to make them so utterly bland — too many cooks in the kitchen, perhaps, following their initial success with rad debut album Chasing Lights — but whatever it is, it started when the ho brigade released their hodge podge of a second album Wordshaker two years ago. Last year's EP Headlines! was even more abysmal.

So now we have "Notorious," the lead single from the broad squad's upcoming third album. There's been much squawking about the song being so different from anything they've done before, but really it just sounds like it could be any pop tart's latest "boink me on the dancefloor, luv" track.



Sorry, Sats — it's dime a dozen tripe, I'm afraid.

Nevertheless, "Notorious" debuts at #8 on this week's UK chart on the strength of downloads alone (the CD single version doesn't arrive for another month), and becomes their ninth single (out of 10) to land in the Top 10 in their home country. Personally, I just wish they'd return to the fun sound of "If This Is Love" and "Up," rather than marauding through Britney/Rihanna-lite territory.

Over on the UK album chart, Lady Gaga is the one to finally unseat Adele (following the latter's 16-week reign with 21) from the top, as Born This Way posts the biggest first week sales for an LP this year. The Official Charts Company reports that Gaga's third release has sold just over 215,000 copies. (Adele's sophomore album debuted with 208,000.) Here in the States, the album is expected to wind up with over a million copies sold when the Top 200 chart is tallied up this week.

So far, Born This Way has also topped the Australian, Irish and Swedish album charts.

The UK Top 10:

1. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer 2 weeks*
2. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars

10. "Save The World" - Swedish House Mafia

UK Chart Roundup: Have Jedward Gone Down On Each Other Yet?

It's a pretty garbage UK chart week when I'm wishing Jedward's Eurovision trash "Lipstick," which fumbles at #40, somehow livened up the Top 10. And then there's Take That's poor "Love Love," which drops from #15 to #39.

On the album chart, Adele's 21 is #1 for a 16th non-consecutive week. Expect Lady Gaga to finally kick this broad down next Sunday.

Snooooooooze.

The UK Top 10:

1. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer *1 week*
2. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
3. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO
4. "I Need A Dollar" - Aloe Blacc
5. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi

7. "Where Dem Girls At" - David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj & Flo Rida

U.S. Chart Roundup: Lady Gaga Redeems Herself After "Judas" With "The Edge Of Glory"

It's a second week for Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, and an eighth week at #1 for her sophomore album 21 on the Top 200 chart. Not only is 21 the only album to cross the million mark as far as copies of an LP sold this year, it's also getting closer to 2 million (right now it stands at 1.7 million since its late February release).

Elsewhere, Lady Gaga's "Judas" looks to be officially dead in the water. The song drops from #19 to #27 on this week's chart, while previous single  "Born This Way" slides still hangs in the Top 20 at #19. Of course, the good news is that "The Edge Of Glory" debuts at #3 and becomes her eighth single to crack the Top 5. Only "Paparazzi" (#6) and "Judas" (#10) charted lower.

And let's face it — while I liked "Judas" at first, it's kind of a dud when compared to some of the hotter tracks from Born This Way (like "Marry The Night" and "Electric Chapel"). That broad needs to step away from the bong and start making better single choices.

Enrique Iglesias' new single "Dirty Dancer" debuts one notch above "Born This Way," at #18 (credit his performance on last week's American Idol results show).

Meanwhile, the True Talent From Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland cracks the Top 30 with her Lil Wayne-assisted single "Motivation." It's at #26, while Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" continues its disastrous plummet, this week from #65 to #76.

Jordin Sparks also performed on Idol last week, and her new single "I Am Woman" debuts at #82. Enjoy it, darlin', because it's pretty much off to the stripper pole in Victorville once you're dropped from the label by Christmas.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele *2 weeks*
2. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
3. "The Edge Of Glory" - Lady Gaga *new*
4. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
5. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
6. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
7. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
8. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears
9. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
10. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent

UK Chart Roundup: I'll Be Back Soon

Just a quick note to apologize for having been a bit absent this past week. There's a personal issue I've  deal with, and so blogging hasn't been at the top of the priority list. That said, I still have no idea what happened to Thursday's U.S. chart post. It was there, there were even comments on it and then it was gone. Oh well. Things will return to normal here on Tuesday.

But really quickly, not the most exciting Top 10 ever, is it? Congrats to Lady Gaga, at least, for landing "The Edge Of Glory" at #6 in the UK, since "Judas" kind of tanked at #9 and dropped quickly. It will be interesting to see if this week's promo single "Hair" does as well...or sounds as good.

And while I'm a little disappointed Take That's "Love Love" only managed a #15 debut, it's still miles ahead of their previous singles "Happy Now" and "Kidz," which charted at #52 and #28, respectively.

Over on the album chart it's a 15th non-consecutive week for Adele's 21 at the top.

Okay, back as normal tomorrow. Promise!

The UK Top 10:

1. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars *1 week*
2. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO
3. "Where Dem Girls At" - David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj & Flo Rida
4. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
5. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi
6. "The Edge Of Glory" - Lady Gaga *new*
7. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
8. "Sweat" - Snoop Dogg
9. "I Need A Dollar" - Aloe Blacc
10. "Nobody's Perfect" - Jessie J

U.S. Chart Roundup: Adele Is #1, And Kelly Rowland Has A Bigger Hit Than Beyonce

All seems right in the world now that Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" has finally topped the Billboard Hot 100. I'm not saying I'm a massive Adele stan or that I don't have my moments where I'm completely sick of hearing "Rolling In The Deep." But it just feels like a song that should be a #1 hit. And given that it was released back in December, it sure took its time getting there.

Believe it or not, "Rolling In The Deep" actually only peaked at #2 in the UK, despite the fact that the song's parent album 21 has been #1 for 14 of its 15 weeks on the chart in Adele's home country. Here in the U.S., 21 is the top album for a seventh non-consecutive week.

Further down, Lady Antebellum's "Just A Kiss" debuts at #7. I have a total weak spot for Lady A these days, I'm afraid. I think I played their new single about 15 times in a row the day it came out. Call me a sucker for a good old-fashioned, well-structured ballad.

Outside of the Top 10, David Guetta, Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj's "Where Dem Girls At" debuts at #14 while Lady Gaga's "Judas" rebounds (thanks to the video's premiere) and moves up one position to #19. She's set to perform that hot trash on American Idol tonight.

Meanwhile, Kelly Rowland's "Motivation" climbs up to #31, i.e. two notches higher on the chart than Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" made it to. Once again, Kelendria proves who the REAL talent in Destiny's Child was.

In it's third week on the Hot 100, Beyonce's MEGA-FLOP single is down to #65.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele *1 week*
2. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
3. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
4. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
5. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
6. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears
7. "Just A Kiss" - Lady Antebellum *new*
8. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
9. "S&M" - Rihanna feat. Britney Spears
10. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes

UK Chart Roundup: At Least Blue Didn't Flop As Hard As Josh Dubovie Did

Aging/reunited boy band Blue see their Eurovision 2011 pop jam "I Can" soar to the amazing heights of #16 on the UK chart this week. Of course, that's not exactly a stellar debut position to aspire to reach, but when you compare it with the crash-and-burn flop-a-thon that was last year's UK Eurovision entry, Josh Dubovie's "That Sounds Good To Me" — which made it to #179 on the chart — well, #16 probably sounds good to Blue.



Other than that, it's pretty stagnant as far as singles go. It should really come as no surprise that Adele is #1 on the album chart with 21 for a 14th week.

The UK Top 10:

1. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO *4 weeks*
2. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
3. "Where Dem Girls At" - David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj & Flo Rida
4. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi
5. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
6. "Sweat" - Snoop Dogg
7. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
8. "Unorthadox" - Wretch 32 feat. Example
9. "Nobody's Perfect" - Jessie J
10. "I Need A Dollar" - Aloe Blacc

U.S. Chart Roundup: Beyonce's "Girls" Runs Off Track And Head-On Into A Wall

Following the pattern of her previous single "Firework," Katy Perry's "E.T." returns to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth non-consecutive week after a brief chart-topping interruption last week by Rihanna and Britney Spears' remix of "S&M."

Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" was performed by American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart last week to rather positive effect; the hopeful crooner managed to survive another week on the show, and Adele's single climbs to a new high of #2, matching its UK peak position. Likewise, Adele's 21 ballad "Turning Tables" debuts at #63 after a performance of it by Gwyneth Paltrow on Glee.

Two other artists from across the pond make slight advances this week on the Hot 100: Tinie Tempah is up one position to #13 with "Written In The Stars" while Jessie J's "Price Tag" also climbs one to #23.

This brings us to Beyonce's depressing (by her standards) debut at #33 with "Run The World (Girls)." The single went on sale at iTunes late last week and sold 77,000 downloads by Sunday evening. By comparison, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" sold 448,000 downloads between its Friday release day and the following Sunday in February, and it debuted at #1.

Granted, Lady Gaga is the hot new pop broad on the block. But by that token, Britney Spears moved 411,000 copies of "Hold It Against Me" in its first week of release in January. That single also debuted at #1.

Two weeks ago Gaga's second Born This Way single "Judas" entered the chart at #10 after initially selling 162,000 in only two-and-a-half days.

I guess what I'm saying is this: Beyonce, girl, time to get a new weave.

On a related note, Kelly Rowland's Jim Jonsin-produced "Motivation" moves up one to #54, proving that the Real Talent From Destiny's Child is back to reclaim her wig.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West *4 weeks*
2. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
3. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "S&M" - Rihanna feat. Britney Spears
5. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
6. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars
7. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
8. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
9. "Blow" -Ke$ha
10. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green

UK Chart Roundup: Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" Is A Disastrous Flop

Beyonce's return with new material is off to a disastrous, Christina Aguilera/"Not Myself Tonight"-esque start. Indeed, House Of Dereon's Main Wig's single "Run The World (Girls)" has decidedly landed with a loud thud akin to a drunk hooker falling into a decrepit chicken coop and sending feathers in the air.

The wreck of a song flopped out of the iTunes Top 10 here in the U.S. a mere two days after its release, and now the single has limped into the UK chart at #18. Time will tell whether or not "Run The World" has any legs—but my guess is that some trash ballad or more mainstream pop jam will be rushed out ASAP (a la the tactic used when it became apparent from the get-go that Xtina's Bionic was going to tank harder than the Titanic last year), and Camp Beyonce will try to pretend that this flimsy dud never happened.

Elsewhere, 23 years after first peaking at #5 across the pond, Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" appears on the chart at #4 following Michael Collings' audition on Britain's Got Talent.



Is this gonna be some thing where the show's producers try to market this guy as another Susan Boyle? Because he doesn't have even a quarter of SuBo's sex appeal.

Over on the UK album chart, Adele's 21 returns to the top, after its initial 11-week run at #1 was interrupted last week by Foo Fighters.

The UK Top 10:

1. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO *2 weeks*
2. "Unorthadox" - Wretch 32 feat. Example *new*
3. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
4. "Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman *new*
5. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi
6. "Sweat" - Snoop Dogg
7. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
8. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
9. "Judas'" - Lady Gaga
10. "Buzzin'" - Mann feat. 50 Cent

UK Chart Roundup: "Judas" Is Lady Gaga's Virtue

Following the rush release of Lady Gaga's "Judas" to iTunes on Friday, the song has crashed the UK chart at #14 today. Curiously, while the Catholic church-condemned dance jam has been dominating the U.S. iTunes store, it's only at #4 in the UK, the country the previously found Gaga topping the main singles chart four times. Even "Born This Way," which pretty much hit #1 around the globe, only managed to peak at #3 there. Are the Brits losing interest in the Lady already?

The top download on UK iTunes—and the new #1 single on the UK chart—is "Party Rock Anthem," from Gaga's low-brow Cherrytree/Interscope labelmates LMFAO.



Of course, "Party Rock Anthem" is kind of a jam. If anything, its interesting to just sit back for a minute and process just how swiftly popular music has shifted from R&B to dance-pop in sound over the past three years. (Granted, "Party Rock Anthem" has yet to even dent the Billboard Hot 100.)

 Over on the UK album chart, Adele's 11-week reign at the top with 21 is finally ended by Foo Fighters' Wasting Light.

The UK Top 10:

1. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO *1 week*
2. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
3. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West
4. "Sweat" - Snoop Dogg
5. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
6. "Someone Like You" - Adele
7. "S&M" - Rihanna
8. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi
9. "Buzzin'" - Mann feat. 50 Cent
10. "Don't Hold Your Breath" - Nicole Scherzinger

U.S. Chart Roundup: Britney Spears Weaves Back Into The Top 10

After previously reaching #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 then falling down the chart a bit, The Chanting Wig's second Femme Fatale single "Till The World Ends" gets a major boost following its music video premiere, and hops from #13 to #8.

To date, The Chanting Wig has never had a single peak at #8 on the Hot 100, so we'll just have to wait and see if "Till The World Ends" becomes the first. For this week at least, her appearance on a new remix of Rihanna's current #2 single "S&M" seems to be stealing all the thunder.

The Chanting Wig should just be thankful that "Till The World Ends" is actually climbing the chart, as opposed to "Hold It Against Me," which debuted at #1 then steadily plummeted after a lone week on top.

Over on the Top 200, Rolling Stone cover girl Adele returns to #1 with 21 for a fourth non-consecutive week as it becomes the first album to sell one million copies this year.  This pushes The Chanting Wig's Femme Fatale down to #2.

Other than that, it's a fairly lackluster week. So my wig is off to chant in the shower.

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West *3 weeks*
2. "S&M" - Rihanna
3. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green
5. "Born This Way" - Lady Gaga
6. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
7. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
8. "Till The World Ends" - Britney Spears
9. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
10. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele

Adele Covers 'Rolling Stone,' Leaves Her Tits And Ass Wrapped Up

Not to be outdone by Lady Gaga's hot quote about her vagina clenching and spitting out Hollywood or whatever the hell she said in Harper's Bazaar, Adele graces the cover of the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone and gives the music mag some sassy anecdotes of her own.

"My life is full of drama and I won't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like. I don't like going to the gym. I like eating fine foods and drinking nice wine. Even if I had a really good figure, I don't think I'd get my tits and ass out for no one."

Me, I get them out for anyone with at least three limbs and a fiver.

U.S. Chart Roundup: Katy Perry And Britney Spears Are On Top

Katy Perry's "E.T." now has a second week on top of the Billboard Hot 100, thus giving her four consecutive singles that have spent at least two or more weeks at #1. (Songs that have spent a lone week on top of the chart over the past year include Wiz Khalifa's "Black And Yellow," Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me," Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)," Pink's "Raise Your Glass," Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" and Eminem's "Not Afraid.")

Further down, Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" climbs to #10 and marks not only her first U.S. Top 10 hit single, but the first song by a UK artist to crack the Top 10 in 2011.

That brings us to the other big news of the week, which is Britney's Femme Fatale debuting at #1 on the Top 200 album chart. It's her sixth album to reach the top, but at 276,000 copies moved, it's also her lowest first-week showing since her debut ...Baby One More Time sold 121,000 out of the gate in 1999.

Still, at 29, The Weave Warrior is the youngest artist to have six #1 albums spanning across three decades. Back on the Hot 100, "Till The World Ends" climbs from #22 to #13 in its fifth week on the chart while "I Wanna Go" debuts at #73. This seems like a special enough occasion for her to pull out the pink wig from her shaved head period, no? God, I really miss that thing...

The U.S. Top 10:

1. "E.T." - Katy Perry feat. Kanye West *2 weeks*
2. "S&M" - Rihanna
3. "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green
5. "Born This Way" - Lady Gaga
6. "Look At Me Now" - Chris Brown feat. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
7. "Down On Me" - Jeremih feat. 50 Cent
8. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
9. "Fuckin' Perfect" - Pink
10. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
