wo years to the week after securing their fourth No.1 album, Keanemade it five
in a row on Sunday, with Strangeland, which debuted at the summit while racking up first-week sales of 47,839. In 2004, the Sussex band’s debut album Hopes And Fears entered the chart at one on sales of 155,373; in 2006, Under The Iron Sea debuted in pole position with sales of 222,297 copies; in 2008, Perfect Symmetry accessed the apex with a 79,106 start; and in 2010, Night Train – which has eight tracks and a playing time of less than 32 minutes and is generally regarded as a mini- album or an EP – took the title on sales of 28,063. Strangeland’s success comes despite a fairly lukewarm reception for introductory single, Silenced By The Night. Although the track has been given plenty of exposure, climbing as high as 21 on the radio airplay chart it has struggled in the sales chart. It finally breached the Top 75 last weekend, having moved 78-152- 162-46.

Tenacious D: Rize Of The Fenix MIDWEEK NO.1
The only acts to have had
more number one albums than Keane in the 21st century are Eminem, Robbie Williams and Westlife (seven apiece) and Madonna (six). Keane’s chances of remaining
at number one this weekend are difficult to assess. Although the album slipped to three on Tuesday’s midweek sales flashes, it was only a few hundred sales behind Tenacious D’s Rize Of The Fenix and Ren Harvieu’s Through The Night, which rank one and two on said list but will likely lose strength as the week
progresses. Strangeland is itself losing support fast too, and may be surpassed by Emeli Sandé’s Our Version Of Events or Adele’s 21, both of which are likely to maintain current sales levels more effectively for the rest of the week. Helped by an appearance on
Later...With Jools Holland, Richard Hawley’s seventh studio album, Standing At The Sky’s Edge, delivered his highest chart position yet on Sunday, debuting at three (16,070 sales). Hawley’s fifth album, Lady’s Bridge, was his only previous Top 10 entry,
The Belly Of The Brazen Bull, delivered their third Top 75 entry, debuting at nine (8,952 sales). It thus failed to match first-week sales of 2009 predecessor Ignore The Ignorant, which debuted and peaked at eight (14,824 sales) and breakthrough album Men’s Needs Women’s Needs Whatever, which reached 13 on sales of 11,272 in 2007. Barbadian pop trio Cover
Drive have had three consecutive Top 10 singles, including the No.1 hit Twilight, with cumulative sales of more than 400,000 – but the Top 10 proved to be beyond their debut album Bajan Style, which includes all three, and sold just 8,290 copies last week, to debut at 14. The Proclaimers’ Like
Comedy is their 10th albums since 1987 and debuted at 31 (5,051 sales). The album debuts at No.2 in Scotland, which accounted for 43.10% of its overall sales. Overall album sales were
down 4.05% week-on-week at 1,457,792 - 8.16% below same- week 2011 sales of 1,587,342.
Fresh’s Hot Right Now, 21 year old Rita Ora – originally from Kosovo but now based in London – raced back to the summit on Sunday with R.I.P. Sounding the death knell for Tulisa’s Young, which dipped to two (63,649 sales) after just a week at the top, R.I.P. – which features Tinie Tempah – sold 104,592 copies on its debut. R.I.P. may just have enough strength to secure a second week at No.1 – it continued to lead on Tuesday’s midweek sales flashes, selling over 1,000 copies more than nearest challenger, 30 Days, by The Saturdays. Despite its initial sales thrust, 30 Days may even struggle to remain at two, though it will undoubtedly provide The Saturdays’ 11th Top 10 hit. Its sales increasing for the
eighth week in a row, Alex Clare’s debut smash Too Close climbed 5-4 on Sunday, shifting 58,284 copies. Originally released

Rita Ora: R.I.P. MIDWEEK NO.1
(33,287 sales). It is Bieber’s ninth Top 40 hit – and he also registered his 10th, with Turn To You (Mother’s Day Dedication) debuting at 39 (7,857 sales), having only been released on Friday. Also new to the Top 40: All I Know (No.29, 10,955 sales) by Matrix & Futurebound feat. Luke Bingham and Express Yourself by Labrinth (No.34, 9,485 sales). She may have passed on
R.I.P., which co-writer Drake offered to her before Rita Ora, but Rihanna scored her 21st Top 10 hit, as Where Have You Been sprinted 21-8 (30,149 sales). The Voice UK and Britain’s
in March 2011 and belatedly blasted into the chart after featuring in the TV advertising campaign for Microsoft Internet Explorer, it has sold 175,664 copies in total. Train’s latest single Drive By
is their highest charting hit to date, with a 14-10-7-6 trajectory thus far, and sold 37,939 copies last week. Most rock singles are in decline from week one, but Drive By has bucked the trend, and has helped parent album
California 37 to achieve a smart turnaround too. The album debuted at 10 three weeks ago, and immediately slipped to 29 but it recovered to No.25 last week, and jumped to 15 (7,954 sales) on Sunday. American hip-hop group Far
East Movement had their first Top 20 hit in 2010, their second in 2011, and their third at the weekend, with Justin Bieber collaboration Live My Life, which debuted at number seven
Got Talent continued to generate sales, though the latter concluded on Saturday. Among the biggest beneficiaries: The Temper Trap’s Sweet Disposition (53-26, 12,173 sales), Goo Goo Dolls’ Iris (164- 44, 6,618 sales), Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill (115-51, 6,011 sales) and Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’ (128-59 to beat its original 1989 peak of No.64, 5,225 sales Overall singles sales were
down 3.49% week-on-week at 3,382,333 – 6.27% above same- week 2011 sales of 3,182,665.
