Leona Lewis Hits Number One In US Charts - First Solo British Female For 21 Years

It’s a long way from being a contestant on a Simon Cowell produced reality show to becoming a number one artist on the US Billboard charts, but that is exactly what Leona Lewis has achieved, and oh, how she deserves her success.
Lewis, from Hackney, in East London, entered The X-Factor competition in 2006, and instantly […]

UK Singles Charts 02/09/2007 | Sean Kingston Now Number 1! James Blunt At 10

What is happening to in the UK right now that makes people go insane enough to buy Sean Kingston’s ‘Beautiful Girls’? I can’t believe it, but yes, it is number 1 right now, moving up from last week’s number 2 position.
Am I missing something here? This guy looks awful, like a black Rik Waller, he […]

UK Singles Charts 26/08/2007 | Kanye West Still Number 1 - Sean Kingston At Number 2

Kanye West proved his song title correct by staying at number 1 for the 2nd week running with ‘Stronger’. Sean Kingston has gone straight in at number 2 with the strangely catchy but otherwise utter crap ‘Beautiful Girls’. Now I know this guy is American, that much is clear from the video, but I know […]

Mandy Moore Covers Rihanna | As If One ‘Umbrella’ Wasn’t Enough

We’ve finally, after weeks of trying, got rid of Rihanna from number 1 in the UK Singles charts. But not before she drilled that bloody ‘Umbrella’ song in to each and every one of our heads, whether we wanted it there or not.
For about 3 months, I had to endure hearing the song twice […]

UK Albums Chart 12/08/2007 | Kate Nash In At Number 1 With ‘Made Of Bricks’

The brilliant Kate Nash finally makes it to number one… but it’s her album which manages it rather than a single. Her debut album ‘Made of Bricks’ which was rush released due to the phenomenal success of ‘Foundations’ has newly entered the charts at number 1, and I’m as pleased as punch for Ms Nash.
The […]

Rihanna Still Number 1 in the UK Charts | ‘Umbrella’ Sets New Record

I can’t quite believe it but Rihanna, with a little help from Jay-Z, is still Number 1 in the UK singles chart with that bloody record ‘Umbrella’. That’s 10 consecutive weeks that the R’n’B diva has been sat in the top spot, and I’ve got to wonder at this point, who on earth is buying […]
