Chart News

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Some REAL turkeys in this weeks chart, and we're not talking about Robbie Williams (No.2) or Mr Hudson (No.20), we're talking about the albums.

Firstly, before we start the tomato throwing, congratulations to The Editors, on their number one album "In This Light And On This Evening", showing losing the daily post-3.30pm school run plays from Edith Bowman weren't needed after all. Cancel that. They got to number one with just 30k sales - seriously piss poor. Muse's album did 148k week one. PETER ANDRE managed 53k!

Chipmunk - he's been everywhere hasn't he? On everything, in everything and winning awards too - Best Newcomer at the 2008 Mobo Awards, Best Hip-Hop Act at the 2009 Mobo Awards, and he seems to be a really lovely guy. Two huge singles, including the played to death, the No.1 "Oops A Daisy". It's a great song, the chorus is brilliant, and much like the comments we made on the Robbie Williams track, we'd like to hear the rest of that song, not Chipmunk's ramblings inbetween "find cupid and put him in a headlock" (yes, that'll help) or his constant shout outs of "chair". His album imaginatively entitled "I Am Chipmunk" debuted at No.2 - hooray! Champagne-sorry, Cristal all round? Doubtful - he wasn't pipped by The Editors, he was 7k short. So on last week's chart you needed to shift 23k copies to get to No. 2 - this is seriously SHITE.

But believe it or not, these aren't the turkeys.

These are;
9. The Saturdays "Wordshaker" - NEW ENTRY, selling just 15k *ouch*

14. Tiao Cruz "Rokstarr" - NEW ENTRY, hasn't he just had a No.1 single with that really annoying "break break bur-break break my heart"? Yes. Kids have got that, they don't want another 10 or so tracks obviously. *owwww*

And saving the best for last.

35. The Veronicas "Hook Me Up" managing a pathetic 7.6k sales week one - it's a shame. *Gobble gobble*
