UK SINGLES CHART
SINGLES n BY ALAN JONES
ess than a fortnight ago, no No.1 single in 2013 had been by a female solo artist
- now two have. That’s because Miley Cyrus’ first ever No.1, We Can’t Stop, was replaced at the chart summit on Sunday by Ellie Goulding’s first No.1, Burn. It remains at No.1 on the first of the midweek sales flashes too - but had only a slender lead over club smash Klangkarussell’s Sonnentanz (Sun Don’t Shine), which may yet prevail. One of nine tracks to be

added to her second album Halcyon in an edition dubbed Halcyon Days which is set for release next Monday (26th), Burn is Goulding’s 12th Top 75 entry. Its first week sales of 116,857 are the highest yet by a Goulding single, surpassing the 84,896 copies that her cover of Elton John’s Your Song sold the week it debuted at No.3 in 2010. Burn aside, last week’s most
eagerly awaited new release was Applause by Lady Gaga. The introductory single from Gaga’s upcoming third album ARTPOP, it was rush released at around 5pm last Tuesday (13th), and sold
ALBUMS n BY ALAN JONES
Adam’s The Impossible Dream has shown unexpected tenacity, allowing them to become just the second act to secure a three-week run at the summit this year. Emulating Justin Timberlake, whose The 20/20 Experience was No.1 for three weeks in March/April, the Welsh brothers completed their hat trick on Sunday on sales of just 19,325 - the second lowest for a No.1 thus far this year, and the eighth lowest of the 21st century. The Impossible Dream is only

the sixth debut album to spend its first three weeks in the chart at No.1 this century, the fourth by a reality TV discovery, and the third by a Britain’s Got Talent act. Both of the previous BGT chart-toppers - Paul Potts and Susan Boyle - did the trick, the former spending three straight weeks atop the list with One Chance in 2007, and the latter reeling off six straight wins with I Dreamed A Dream in 2009/10.

dipped 15-21 (14,165 sales). Both songs are from their upcoming fifth album, AM. The fourth and final Top 10
Ellie Goulding: Burn MIDWEEK NO.1
38,042 copies by the end of the week to debut at No.5. Gaga’s first single since Marry The Night in November 2011, it seems unlikely to deliver her fifth No.1, but for the moment it is her 17th Top 75 entry, and her 10thTop 10 hit. Its release, a decision triggered by its leakage on the internet, came just two days after 2009 chart-topper Bad Romance became Gaga’s second million-seller. Selling 453 copies last week (its best return for 11 weeks), Bad Romance increased its cumulative sales to
1,000,403, putting it second behind Poker Face, which has sold 1,134,517 copies. Arctic Monkeys fell just short
of scoring their first Top 10 hit for four years with last single, Do I Wanna Know? debuting and peaking eight weeks ago at No.11. They remain in an inquisitive mood and secure their sixth Top 10 hit and 13th hit in all with follow-up Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High? debuting at No.8 (29,285 sales), while Do I Wanna Know?
debut came from The Wanted, who left even less time between singles than Arctic Monkeys, entering at No.10 (27,291 sales) with We Own The Night just seven weeks after Walks Like Rihanna debuted and peaked at No.4. Their 11th hit in total and ninth to make the Top 10, We Own The Night is the fourth offcut from upcoming album, Word Of Mouth. Elsewhere in the Top 10:
Avicii’s Wake Me Up! held at No.2 (76,857 sales), Miley Cyrus’ We Can’t Stop faded 1-3 (63,238 sales), Lana Del Rey was No.4 for the third week in a row with Summertime Sadness (vs. Cedric Gervais, up a further 4.40% to 53,577 sales), Tinie Tempah’s Trampoline (feat 2 Chainz) bounced 3-6 (29,997 sales), Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. & Pharrell) faded 5-7 (29,848 sales) and Jay Z’s Holy Grail (feat. Justin Timberlake) fell 7-8 (exactly 28,000 sales). Overall singles sales were
down 1.33% week-on-week at 3,125,803 – 8.58% below same week 2012 sales of 3,418,998.
stormed to No.1 in 2009 on sales of 28,916, and 2011 follow-up Ritual, which debuted at number three on slightly higher sales of 29,621. Elsewhere in the Top 10,
Rudimental: Home MIDWEEK NO.1
Although the album’s fourth
hit single, Right Here (feat. Foxes) tumbles 14-23 (12,381 sales), Rudimental’s debut album Home jumped 7-2 (13,448 sales) on Sunday. Never lower than No.13 in its 16 weeks on the chart to date, the album has sold 256,461 copies in all, and benefitted last week from being on the front page of iTunes with a ‘limited time price’ offer of £5.99. It continues to be buoyed by the offer, and moved into pole
position on Tuesday’s sales flashes, with a lead of just 150 over John Mayer’s newly released Paradise Valley, with Richard & Adam’s The Impossible Dream a further 131 sales in arrears. Any one of the three could top the chart this weekend. London indie band White
Lies’ third album, Big TV, sold 7,329 copies last week to debut at No.4. That’s less than a quarter of the first week sales of debut To Lose My Life, which
Imagine Dragons’ Night Vision remained at No.3 (8,240 sales), Passenger’s All The Little Lights slipped 4-5 (7,159 sales), Michael Buble’s To Be Loved held at No.6 (6,206 sales), David Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat climbed 9-7 (5,905 sales), Calvin Harris’ 18 Months rallied 15-8 (5,312 sales), Rod Stewart’s Time edged 10-9 (5,288 sales) and Kodaline’s In A Perfect World sprinted 40-10 (5,211 sales). Largely recorded in 2010, See
You There finds Glen Campbell revisiting many old favourites in new stripped-down versions. Debuting at No.35 (2,682 sales) on Sunday, it extended his album chart career to more than 43 years. Overall album sales were down
7.06% week-on-week at 1,291,351 – their lowest level for 16 weeks, and 8.42% below same week 2012 sales of 1,410,081.
