By coincidence, these were the six seven-inch singles in that top ten! The tracks by Tina Cousins, Dune, Basic Connection and Culture Beat were only on 12" and CD.chris975 wrote:Great chart CZB!:

There are three non-movers this month - and, for the first time in 2009, they include the number one, as Lady GaGa spends a second month at the top with “Poker Face”. However, two former Chartbusters and two major movers are all chasing at her heels in the top five, and any of these could easily be in pole position next time. “Sky And Sand” by Paul and Fritz Kalkbrenner, now in its fourteenth week in the top ten in Belgium, is up two places to number two; “Walking On Air” by Kerli, a high new entry this week in Germany, is up eight at number three; Ferry Corsten and Betsie Larkin race up fourteen places to number four with “Made Of Love“; and this month’s Rapid Riser, Emiliana Torrini with “Jungle Drum”, climbs from its entry position of 22 to number five. Seven other climbers include Marco V’s take on “Cambodia”, up sixteen places to number 20 - and there are five new entries, from four different acts. Lasgo’s current Dutch and Belgian hit “Gone” comes in at 21, while their previous single “Out Of My Mind” - rumoured to be getting a UK release - also arrives at number 38. This brings their total tally of hits to six, out of eight breakers - the best to date being “Something”, which peaked at number two in 2002. Jem also reached number two with “Wish I”, and now her former Chartbuster “It’s Amazing” is the highest new entry at number 17, her third hit. She also peaked at number three with “They” - as did Fragma with “You Are Alive”. They now have a fifth hit with “Memory”, in at 35. And the final newcomers are Polarkreis 18, whose debut hit “Allein Allein” enters at number 32.
Twenty-one hits are sliding down, including fastest faller Madonna with “Give It 2 Me”, plummeting sixteen places to number 31 after eight months in the top 40, and longest laster “Larger Than Life” by Regi, Wout and Caren Meynen, down six at 36. Having peaked at number 14 for three months in 2008, this is only the twelfth single in nearly thirty years to spend sixteen months in my chart without ever reaching the top ten! Meanwhile, as two of 2008’s Eurovision Song Contest entrants - Belgium’s Ishtar and France’s Sebastien Tellier - cling on in right at the bottom of the chart, the 2009 contest is now approaching. And I have managed to find five submissions with the potential to enter my chart in the months ahead. Albania last reached the breakers in 2004 with their most successful entry so far, and this time they have another good effort, performed by sixteen-year-old Kejsi Tola. Andorra are represented by a somewhat older Susanne Georgi, who previously reached number seven in my top 40 as part of Me and My with “Dub-I-Dub”, while Norway’s Alexander Rybak already seems to be an early favourite. Just ahead with me, though, are the Swedish entry from Malena Emman - and the somewhat unusual Slovenian song by Quartissimo, which had me reaching for my stop-watch and establishing that the singer can be heard for a total time of one minute out of the three. She sings for forty seconds of the last minute, twenty seconds of the second minute, and not at all in the first…….which is the one I like the best!
There are eight further new potential future hits this time, and among them only one artist who has previously impressed me - Lily Allen. Still in my top ten, and in charts around Europe with “The Fear”, she has followed this up with different singles in different countries - and both of them are new in the breakers, somewhat negative in tone, but irresistibly performed. One is called “Not Fair”, while the other.......isn’t. Meanwhile, looking for their first hit in my chart are Deadmau5 featuring Kaskade, Empire Of The Sun, Discobitch, Dubguru, and someone who has been making records I have hated for years, Pink. The inclusion of “Please Don’t Leave Me” is entirely due to DJ and former “Big Brother” contestant Adele Roberts, who I have heard playing the far superior “Digital Dog Edit” version several times this month on her late-night programme on Galaxy FM. Disappointingly, this version is not included on the recent UK single release - nor, it would seem, those in other countries either. However, this month’s Chartbuster, guaranteed to enter my top 40 in June, is a 21-year-old singer born in Vanersborg, Sweden. Winning the “Pop Idol” contest in her homeland four years ago led to several major hits there - but her latest single looks set to bring her to the attention of a much wider audience across the continent. And this may even possibly include the UK, where it is already receiving airplay on some major radio stations. My Record of the Month for May 2009 is Agnes Carlsson, with “Release Me”.
(in good way).
