Mika graces top for second week

The top four UK singles remains relatively untouched this week. Mika settles nicely into a second week at number one with his download only single “Grace Kelly” followed by Just Jack who stalls at number two for a second week with his track about burn out talent show chart toppers a la American Idol.

Jumping a massive eight places to land at number three is the club banger “Exceeder” by Mason while Jo Jo spends a second week at number four with “Too little too Late”. It may be a week off but if Mason continues to sell by the bucket loads for another seven days they may just dance atop the chart a week from now.

Fall Out Boy land in at number six with their new smash “This ain't a scene it’s an arms race”. Predicted to be the top selling single of the whole year, Fall Out Boy can already claim their biggest charting single with this one. Expect to see it rise even higher next week.

Two more singles land inside the top ten. At number seven are the Klaxons with “Golden Skans” and right behind them are My Chemical Romance who plough over 30 spots to land at number eight with “Famous Last words”. Seems this once obscure American band can claim alternative status no longer, at least not in the UK, this being their second single from their latest album to top ten.

Elsewhere on the chart it’s a rather bland mash of the old and the ordinary. Surprisingly two of the biggest charters of last year limp into the top 75 with brand new hits. Justin Timberlake makes a poor debut with his third single “What goes around comes around”. Meanwhile his previous hits are still going strong with “My Love” at number 39 and his number one hit from last summer “Sexyback” swinging at number 71. Sitting one row below Justin at number 60 is Beyonce with her new track “Listen” while “Irreplaceable” remains unshakable at number 25.

Will these latest singles by two of the biggest hit makers have what it takes to overcome the top three next week or will it be a third week in a row for Mika and both new artists following him in the top three slots?
