Award shows may not have the same draw they once had but if this week’s chart is any indication, the Brit awards had at least a little influence on the British record buying public.
No change at number one as Mika racks up yet another week at number one. Five weeks in total, making Mika a shoe in for at least one Brit award next year.
The UK’s best band of the moment, Snow Patrol, whose hit “Chasing cars” has been around since early last year, clock up another week in the top 20. This week the track tears up from 23 to 12 in an impressive move, undoubtedly fuelled by their stellar performance of the track at the ceremonies. Meanwhile their new track “Open your eyes” soars 56 to 26.
Amy Winehouse also profited from her performance on the Brits bringing “Rehab” back to 22 from 49. In the meantime follow up track “You know I’m no good” stalls at 42.
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers also see a spark of Brit power fallout from their performance as new track “Desecration Smile” marks the week’s highest debut at number 27.
Surprisingly the Scissor Sisters didn’t get the same treatment. “I don’t feel like dancing” opened the show with a killer, disjointed leggy performance, yet said track only climbs six places to 33, proving that even in this new era of everything goes, some things still don’t make any sense.
