A review of the charts

This week I’ve taken up the challenge of writing the blog for thiskidloves.com and I’m reviewing the Top 10 Chart Singles

I’ll be honest; I haven’t listened to The Official Chart show in years…

In fact the last time I took an interest in listening to the Top 40 on a Sunday evening; I was armed with a tape recorder; praying that one side of the tape didn’t come to an end in the middle of a song!

Thankfully things have moved on and we’re no longer in the 90’s.

Listening to this weeks Official Chart Top 40 I found some great tunes to get us into the mood for the Summer Holidays.

They included: Plan B with She said; Train with Hey soul sister; Scissor Sisters with Fire with fire.

Each week I’ll be asking; “which top tune is getting you in the groove this week”

In this weeks Top 10 we have 3 new entries, 6 dropping down places and 1 moving on up

Kicking us off and getting us into the mood for the Summer is;

10 – Example with ‘Kickstarts’; a catchy tune and one for the Club scene (if it isn’t already!)

9 – Kylie with ‘All the lovers’; down 6 places but definitely back to her best with a great track – everyone loves a bit of Kylie (so my 6 year old daughter says)

8 – Lady Gaga with ‘Alejandro’…“don’t call my name”; cool and funky – what the Lady does best

7 – 3OH!3 (feat. Kesha) with ‘My first kiss’; brand new entry this week – let’s see if it goes higher next week

6 -  Enrique Iglesias (feat. Pitbull) with ‘I like it’; down one place this week and still a top Summer tune

5 – Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP with ‘We speak no Americano’; brand new entry this week and set to be a big hit this Summer for the Aussie duo! Definitely catchy and one that will be played over and over again

4 – Eminem (feat. Rhianna) with ‘Love the way you lie’; the only hit moving up in this weeks Top 10 – good combination with Eminem & Rhianna

3 – B.o.B (feat. Hayley Williams) with Airplanes; down one place and a great mix of rap with pop

2 – Katy Perry (feat Snoop Dogg) with California gurls; dropping down one place to number 2 after 1 week at the top, but still a great Summer hit

Straight in at the top and this weeks number 1…

JLS with ‘The Club is alive’…“with the sound of music”; their 3rd number 1 hit in the UK and getting plenty of air play over the last 7 days

Getting me in the groove this week is…Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP with ‘We speak no Americano’

Which top tune is getting you in the groove this week?

Have a great week and join me next time as I look at what’s hot, what’s not and who’s on top!

Bye for now
