There are just three non-movers in this month’s chart - and they’re right at the top.
Yolanda Be Cool featuring D-Cup spend a second month at number one with “We No Speak Americano”,
Tim Berg grinds to a halt (at least for the moment) at number two with October’s highest new entry “Bromance”, and
Katie Melua sticks at number 3 with “A Happy Place”. She is one of four artists in my current top ten who also have one of this month’s seven new entries - not necessarily a future single from her latest album, but certainly a stand-out track, “A Moment Of Madness” is in at number 31. Among only seven climbers,
Armin van Buuren is up to number four with “Full Focus”, and he’s brand new at 17 with “Not Giving Up On Love” - sung by
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who is also just below that at 18 with “Bittersweet”, one of twenty-three tracks moving down this time.
Stromae is also down, to number six with “Alors On Danse” - but he enters at 34 with “Te Quiero”, while
Caro Emerald moves into the top ten with “That Girl”, and is brand new at 40 with “Back It Up”. Her former number one, “A Night Like This” is down eleven places to number sixteen - but it’s not quite the fastest faller. That dubious honour goes for the second month in a row to
Paul Kalkbrenner, as “Azure” dives another twelve places to 35. The longest laster is still
Fake Blood - the former number one “I Think I Like It” falls three places to number 32 in its eleventh month in my top forty. And September’s Chartbuster,
Jacqueline Govaert’s “Overrated”, is the Rapid Riser, racing up twelve places to number 23 - while October’s Chartbuster gives
Ace of Base their fifteenth hit, “All For You”, new at 19.
Amy MacDonald earns her fourth top forty entry, as “This Pretty Face” appears at 37 - but the highest newcomer by far is the fourteenth involving
Regi Penxten. Ten of the others were from
Milk Inc. - half of which reached the top five - while three came from his album “Registrated”, on which he was joined by
Wout and
Caren Meynen for “Larger Than Life”, choirgirls
Scala for “I Fail” and
Bart Peeters for “A-A-A-Anthem”, which crashed into my chart at number one in January 2008. From the follow-up album, “Take It Off”, sung by
Kaya Jones, makes an impressive debut at number five - and must be a strong contender for December’s number one.
Just as one former
Pussycat Doll makes an appearance in my top forty, another arrives in the top forty breakers -
Nicole Scherzinger teams up with
Enrique Iglesias, also there for the very first time, with “Heartbeat”. Also impressing me as never before,
Hurts with “Wonderful Life” (not the same song that went to number two for
Tina Cousins and number 12 for
TJ Davis),
Martin Solveig and
Dragonette with “Hello” (neither of the songs that were number ones in my chart for
Twinkle and
Shakespear’s Sister) and
Fagget Fairys with “Feed The Horse” (nothing to do with any song about feeding, or any song about a horse....).
Polarkreis 18 reached number ten in my chart some time ago with “Allein Allein”, and may be about to finally follow that up with “Unendliche Sinfonie“ - while Caro Emerald could soon add “Stuck“ to the three hits she has already,
Inna now has four potential future hits, as “10 Minutes” joins “Hot”, Love” and “Amazing” - but she is still awaiting her first top forty entry, as is
Cee Lo Green. Having previously reached the breakers as part of
Gnarls Barkley with “Crazy” he now returns there - and, indeed, to the number one position in the UK - with “F........orget You”.
DKS might also chart in the months ahead with “Sing With A Swing” - a composition that originally entered at number five in October 1983, but went no higher for the
Broads as “Sing-Sing-Sing”. Longer ago, the
Buggles had a number one in the UK, which peaked at number 18 in my chart - and that now returns to the breakers, as I have been reminded of it by a section used to accompany a lot of ranting and bile in a current release by
Nicki Minaj and
Will.i.am. Meanwhile, currently in use in a commercial in the UK is a slightly reworked version of
Jona Lewie’s second-most-well-known song - which could now become his third hit in my chart. And
Duck Sauce have added the words “Barbra Streisand” between parts of
Boney M’s old hit “Gotta Go Home” - with hilarious, or at least incredibly successful, consequences. They, and the
Crookers featuring Yelle with “Cooler Cooleur”, make extremely high debuts in the top forty breakers - and it would be surprising if either of those failed to chart next time. But only one new release can now be guaranteed a place in the December top forty - and it’s by an artist who has had just one previous hit on my chart. That was my Chartbuster just over two years ago, in October 2008 - and it went on to peak at number five. Several other singles followed - and although none have impressed me at all, until now, that didn’t prevent them from reaching the top twenty (but never the top ten) in the UK. The singer will be eighteen years old later this month - but, despite her young age, is already equally as well-known for her music as for her leading role in a long-running television series. And she has now also begun to appear in films. With by far her best song since “See You Again”, my Record of the Month for November 2010 is
Miley Cyrus, and “
Who Owns My Heart”.
