Mika makes chart history once more

Mika spends another week at number one. That makes one whole month at the top of the heap for this former download only single. A full four weeks at number one makes an impressive track record, but Mika makes chart history this week for another reason.

"Lollipop", the second track on Mika’s just released full length album, bounces in at number 62 on downloads alone – could Lollipop be about his colourful candy-like clothing taste?

The debut of this track marks the first time an album only track cracks the top 75 in the UK and therefore hints at the beginning of what I expect to be a usual occurrence once the record companies stop serving up their crappy mid winter duds in favour of the spring must-have albums.

And remember, Apple and the Beatles just settled their disagreement – could a Beatles chart invasion be just around the corner once their tracks get the iTunes go ahead?

Very little movement over all on the rest of the chart this week. Kaiser Chiefs debut at number 2 with their new single “Ruby” while Just Jack clings on to the third spot for yet another week.

Down at number 19, Nelly Furtado rises from 37 with her fourth cut from her loose album “Say it right”. Should Nelly continue to climb next week into the top ten she will have a fourth top ten single from her best selling third album. Whoa Nelly!
