Yet again there is a new number one - the seventh so far this year, as “Better Than A Dream” by
Katie Melua joins six other former chart-toppers among twenty hits moving down this month’s top forty. They include the longest laster -
David Guetta featuring Sia, clinging on in at number 38 after eleven months with “Titanium”..... the fastest faller, “Epic”, which dives twelve places to 23 for
Sandro Silva and Quintino.....and her predecessor at the top, from
Fun featuring Janelle Monae. “We Are Young” falls just one place to number three, leaving two of last month’s newcomers fighting it out for pole position. In the end, Scottish quartet
Django Django narrowly miss out, as “Default” climbs six places to number two, while
Regina Spektor leaps up a massive thity-four positions, and “Don’t Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)” becomes my 196th number one. It’s the third success for the 32-year-old Moscow-born singer/songwriter, who previously reached number ten with “On The Radio“ and number 11 with “Samson”. Not surprisingly, it’s this month’s Rapid Riser, with none of the other thirteen climbers this time advancing more than ten places each. Among those also upwardly mobile, Australia’s
Emma Hewitt gets a third top ten hit, as “Colours” races up from 20 to ten, and Switzerland’s
Heidi Happy is there for the first time, moving up another eight places to number six with “Sarah”. From the Netherlands,
Caro Emerald is one place higher, as “You Don’t Love Me” becomes her third top five success - but, perhaps more significantly, “Dr Wanna Do” ascends four places to number 18. That’s now her
eighth top twenty hit from the same album, “Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor”!
There are six new entries this month, and the second highest goes to the only act involved who have had more than one previous hit - the
Scissor Sisters. They spent five months at number two with the UK chart-topper “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing”, then peaked at number 13 with “Fire With Fire” - and now “Only The Horses” is in at 29. Two instrumental dance tracks from continental Europe make their debuts in the bottom ten -
Todd Terje with “Inspector Norse” at 32 and
Michael Calfan with “Resurrection” at 37 - while
Colina sneaks in at number 40 singing “Du Und Ich”. Meanwhile, Fun’s second hit from their current album “Some Nights” is its title track - arriving at 34, just two months after its predecessor (and thirty-three places lower!) - which leaves July’s Chartbuster as August’s highest new entry. Dubbed by some as “We No Speak Americano 2012”, but not yet generating much interest except in the Netherlands,
WTF! are straight in at number 15 with “Da Bop”.
There have not been many previous top forty entries for the performers of the six new breakers this month. The only one among them with more than one prior hit is
Lana Del Rey - who has had three major successes, in less than a year. “Video Games”, “Blue Jeans” and “Born To Die” all reached my top five - indeed, in March, all three were there at the same time. Her latest continental single, “Summertime Sadness”, could be the next - although it is quite a long way away at the moment. So are recent releases by
Train and
Calvin Harris - who already have five other current breakers between them. “50 Ways To Say Goodbye“ joins “Drive By“ and “Hey, Soul Sister“ for the pop/rock band from San Francisco, while “Let‘s Go“ joins “We Found Love“, “Bounce“ and “Feel So Close“ for the 28-year-old Scotsman whose birth name was
Adam Richard Wiles. It features
Ne-Yo, also still looking for a first hit - his only previous appearance in the breakers was as one of
Pitbull’s sidekicks on “Give Me Everything” - as is 30-year-old German singer
Oceana, whose “Endless Summer” has already reached the top five in her homeland.
Paloma Faith peaked at number 21 with her first breaker, “Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful”, and might now follow that up with “Picking Up The Pieces” - while the track guaranteed to enter in September is only the second breaker for a Canadian producer whose career began in the late 1990s, and who chose a stage-name based on something he once found in his computer! He reached the top three in my chart with “I Remember”, a collaboration with American DJ
Kaskade - and next month his new Chartbuster, inspired by a short story by the recently-deceased
Ray Bradbury, and featuring guest vocals by
Chris James, will be his second hit. My Record of the Month for August 2012 is
Deadmau5, and
“The Veldt”.
