Madonna has secured her thirteenth number one record in the UK singles chart with 4 Minutes. Her collaboration with Justin Timberlake, produced by uber hit maker Timbaland, jumped from number 4 (fittingly) to number 1 over the past week.
Not only is this Madonna’s first number one since 2006, when she hit the top spot with […]

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

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 […]

It’s great though, […]
