UK Chart Roundup: I'll Be Back Soon

Just a quick note to apologize for having been a bit absent this past week. There's a personal issue I've  deal with, and so blogging hasn't been at the top of the priority list. That said, I still have no idea what happened to Thursday's U.S. chart post. It was there, there were even comments on it and then it was gone. Oh well. Things will return to normal here on Tuesday.

But really quickly, not the most exciting Top 10 ever, is it? Congrats to Lady Gaga, at least, for landing "The Edge Of Glory" at #6 in the UK, since "Judas" kind of tanked at #9 and dropped quickly. It will be interesting to see if this week's promo single "Hair" does as well...or sounds as good.

And while I'm a little disappointed Take That's "Love Love" only managed a #15 debut, it's still miles ahead of their previous singles "Happy Now" and "Kidz," which charted at #52 and #28, respectively.

Over on the album chart it's a 15th non-consecutive week for Adele's 21 at the top.

Okay, back as normal tomorrow. Promise!

The UK Top 10:

1. "The Lazy Song" - Bruno Mars *1 week*
2. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO
3. "Where Dem Girls At" - David Guetta feat. Nicki Minaj & Flo Rida
4. "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, AfroJack & Nayer
5. "Beautiful People" - Chris Brown feat. Benny Benassi
6. "The Edge Of Glory" - Lady Gaga *new*
7. "On The Floor" - Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull
8. "Sweat" - Snoop Dogg
9. "I Need A Dollar" - Aloe Blacc
10. "Nobody's Perfect" - Jessie J

Take That's "Love Love" Sounds Like Take That's "Kidz"

I heart Take That — so much so that I'm off to see them perform in Milan in two months (from tomorrow). So I was highly curious to hear how the full version of the band's X-Men: First Class jam "Love Love" would sound.

The single was released in the UK today, and basically it comes off as a retread of their previous Progress offering "Kidz." (No, I don't get what happened to the marketing of the album's singles post-"The Flood," either.)

That said, there's a bit more of a hook here than "Kidz" had, at least. I'd say this, with its dueling Gary Barlow/Robbie Williams vocals, is an improvement over that one.



The band is set to perform "Love Love" tonight for the UK's National Movie Awards. The single is currently #6 on iTunes in Take That's home country.

It's 30 Seconds Of Take That's New 'X-Men: First Class' Single "Love Love"

There had been some yammering (Xolondon is good for that) last week about new Take That single "Love Love," which was announced on the band's official site as the "official single" from the upcoming X-Men: First Class film. And now a snippet of the song has been added to Amazon UK (the single is out May 11).

Here 'tis:



I won't say Progress is an album I have played very much at all this year, though that could be because I overdosed on it in the tail end of 2010. From what we can hear, "Love Love" seems very much of the same cloth as the tunes from that record. I guess I like it enough so far.

Matthew Vaughn directed both the new X-Men movie and Stardust, which spawned Take That's "Rule The World." Wonder if this single is getting some sort of U.S. release? ("Rule The World" did not.)

Two more months till I see these DILFs with Pet Shop Boys in Milan.

I Don't Care Why Pet Shop Boys Are Opening For Take That On Tour, All I Know Is I'm Going

Today it was announced that Pet Shop Boys will be joining Take That on Their European tour. Yes, as an opening act. The same Pet Shop Boys who are noted to have sold over 100 million records worldwide (according to Wikipedia, though this says 50 million), while TT have sold around 40 million.

Were Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe enlisted by the That to babysit their friend Robbie Williams, to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble on the road for the first time in 16 years with his old bandmates? Have the Boys become addicted to a life spent in hotels around the world (they toured their last record Yes forever, it seemed)? Did their pal Stuart Price, who produced the That's latest album Progress, convince them it'd be a good idea?

Says Take That's website:

...Take That are all massive fans. Gary said: "I've followed their whole career and always loved their unique approach to records and live performance. That combined with two lovely people means we're in for a great tour."

Pet Shop Boys said: "We are delighted to accept Take That's invitation to be part of their Progress show and tour which is undoubtedly going to be one of the most exciting events of 2011. We look forward to every night being a huge celebration of pop music."

Truth is, I don't care why they're doing it. All I know is my tickets to the Milan show in July just got a whole lot more fetching.

It's Take That's "Happy Now" Video

Take That's "Happy Now" music vid premiered last night, and this should have absolutely been the band's second (if not first) single release off Progress rather than the third. (The actual second single, "Kidz," peaked at a woeful #28 last month—their lowest chart placing for a UK single since "Once You've Tasted Love" scraped in at #47 20 years ago.)

At any rate, the video, a tie-in with the Red Nose Day, premiered last night after the Comic Relief charity's telethon, and it features comedians like that queen Alan Carr (who I love), David Walliams and Catherine Tate decked out like the That from past videos such as "Pray," "The Flood," "Love Ain't Here Anymore" and "Back For Good."

But most importantly, Howard Donald looks utterly bangable, once again.



Three-and-a-half more months till I see these hot pieces live in Italy!

It's Take That's Spacey "Kidz" Video

If you're looking for a sci fi-themed music video infused with a bit of menace that's a far more enjoyable ride than Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," then look no further than Take That's "Kidz."

The UK man band arrives from outer space and invades the Earth to have a little song and dance in the clip for their second single off their smash album Progress. It's a simple concept—albeit one that borrows from several recent movies—but it works.



I have tickets to see these hot pieces live in Italy in four-and-a-half months. Can't wait!

UK Chart Roundup: Adele And Take That Get A Post-BRITs Boost

Adele's 21 has been on top of the UK album chart for the past four weeks, and while her single "Rolling In The Deep" peaked at #2 (so far), the soulful singer's "Someone Like You" has now leapt to the top of the Brit chart thanks to her performance of it at the BRITs on Tuesday.



Here in the States, 21 will finally be released this coming Tuesday. And thanks to the inclusion of "Rolling In The Deep" in the trailer for trash flick I Am Number Four—which opened this weekend—the song has now cracked the Top 10 on U.S. iTunes.

Like Adele, Take That see a bit of a boost, though not as big, following their military-themed BRITs performance of "Kidz." The single slides in at #31 a week ahead of its official release.



The UK Top 10:

1. "Someone Like You" - Adele *1 week*
2. "Price Tag" - Jessie J feat. B.o.B
3. "Born This Way" - Lady Gaga
4. "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
5. "Champion" - Chipmunk feat. Chris Brown  
6. "S&M (Come On)" - Rihanna
7. "Grenade" - Bruno Mars
8. "Eyes Wide Shut" - JLS feat. Tinie Tempah
9. "Yeah 3X" - Chris Brown
10. "Higher" - Taio Cruz feat. Kylie Minogue

The 2011 BRIT Awards Winners

The BRIT Awards, held this evening at London's 02 Arena, seemed to come hours after the Grammys. (Are they always held this close together?)

Clips Of Take That's New Year's Eve Gig In Barbados Finally Pop Up

Remember when Take That (minus Robbie Williams) performed at Simon Cowell's private New Year's Eve party in Barbados on New Year's Eve? No? Alright, we'll try this...

Remember when Take That hottie Howard Donald was walking around the beach shirtless in December? Well, video—of the shoddy, taken-on-a-cell-phone-from-way-over-there variety—of Howard's band Take That performing at said NYE gig has finally found its way online.

The 2011 Brit Awards Nominees

You're looking at the brand spanking new Brit Award, which was designed by Vivienne Westwood. Swanky. It looks like a bowling pin with two strips of bacon wrapped around it.

At any rate, the nominees for the 2011 BRITs were announced today, and as usual there were a few eyebrow-raising choices. For instance, Lip-syncing hag Cheryl Cole is up for British Female Solo Artist and British Single (for "Promise This," which made Chart Rigger's Worst Singles Of 2010 list).

Thankfully there were also nods for Take That (British Group and Album Of The Year), Kylie Minogue and Robyn (both International Female Solo Artist) to offset that travesty.

Totally snubbed: Goldfrapp, whose Head First was album of the year in 2010 in my opinion, and Susan Boyle, who has moved more records worldwide in the past year-and-a-half than Take That and Cheryl Cole combined.

Take That's Next 'Progress' Single Announced

One of the worst kept secrets in Take That Land was confirmed today on the band's official site—that "Kidz" is to be the second single off the million-selling Progress (release date: February 28). And I have to say, this is a much better choice than the rumored-to-have-been-scrapped-single "SOS." (Though, c'mon, lads—why not go for the far superior "Happy Now" already?)

Even though its been documented that it is in fact Robbie Williams singing the chorus on the largely Mark Owens-dominated "Kidz", XOLondon and I have had several discussions about how it actually sounds suspiciously like Gary Barlow's vocals.

Anyway, here's a making-of video on "Kidz," where the That talk about recording the track in Los Angeles.

UK Chart Roundup: The Final List Of The 40 Best-Selling Singles & Albums Of 2010

There are no major new singles in the UK chart this week—though I've listed the week's Top 10, as usual, below—so instead we'll turn toward the final tally of the 40 best-selling singles and albums across the pond, as published today by the Official Charts Company.

Meanwhile, Take That's Progress, the top album of the year, moved 1.84 copies, easily outselling Michael Buble's Crazy Love (#2, 1.23 million) and Lady Gaga's The Fame (#3, 1.05 million).

Take That Do Simon Cowell's Private NYE Gig

Both the Daily Mail and the Sun published these classy pics of Take That‚ sans Robbie Williams (who was allegedly in L.A. with his wife for "a family get-together") performing a 35-minute set at Simon Cowell's New Year's Eve party in Barbados.

The That apparently didn't get paid anything for their crooning services, but were given an all-expenses-paid week in the island nation with their families. Plus, added bonus—Howard Donald stripped off his shirt for the paparazzi.

Reportedly both Rihanna and Sinitta were among the 350 partygoers—and if she knew what was good for her, RiRi would have taken off her wig and bowed down to Sinitta, because we know who the real star is there.

Sigh. Only seven-and-a-half months till I see these fuckers live in Milan.

...And Then Howard Donald Took His Shirt Off

All of the members of Take That (except for Robbie Williams—uh oh!) are in Barbados, where Howard Donald took off his shirt on the beach and—well, who really cares what the rest of them were up to. (Actually, the That are performing a private gig in Barbados on New Year's Eve.)

Progress closed out 2010 by becoming the best-selling LP of the year in the UK (total copies sold: 1.8 million), and the final #1 on the album chart across the pond.

And then Howard took his shirt off.

UK Chart Roundup: Take That Have The Best-Selling Album Of The Year

Take That's Progress is not only the top album in the UK for the sixth week in a row, it's also the best-seller of the year after moving nearly 2 million copies since its November release.

As for the singles on the final UK chart roundup (or the Top 10, at least), you can catch those below while my ass is off to the ballet in Pittsburgh.

The U.K. Top 10:

1. "When We Collide" - Matt Cardle *2 weeks* 
2. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
3. "The Time (Dirty Bit)" - The Black Eyed Peas
4. "Lights On" - Katy B feat. Ms. Dynamite *new* 
5. "Your Song" - Ellie Goulding
6. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna
7. "The Flood" - Take That
8. "Firework" - Katy Perry
9. "Whip My Hair" - Willow
10. "Like A G6" - Far East Movement

Gary Barlow Joins Coldplay On Stage

You may recall when Take That's Gary Barlow joined Coldplay on stage for a rendition of "Back For Good" almost two years ago during a War Child charity gig. Gaz was once again brought out on stage on Sunday during a not-so-secret Royal Court show in Liverpool that Colplay put on to benefit the homeless charity Crisis. And once again they did Take That's 1995 hit "Back For Good."

That's comedian Peter Kay throwing food out to the audience toward the end of the clip.

UK Chart Roundup: Matt Cardle Avoids The Trashmen, Debuts At #1

No surprise here: Matt Cardle, winner of The X Factor 2010, has debuted at #1 in the UK with his elevator-friendly "When We Collide." Where's a good ol' Rage Against The Machine-like Facebook upset campaign when you need one, you ask? Oh, right—that would be The Trashmen's 1963 jam "Surfin' Bird", which sadly only managed to scrape in at #3. Better luck next year, kids. Likewise, Biffy Clyro's original version of "When We Collide", "Many Of Horror", re-enters the chart at #8.

Michael Jackson and Akon's "Hold My Hand" climbs to #10, giving the Gloved Corpse his first new Top 10 hit in the UK since "One More Chance" went to #5 in December 2003.

Meanwhile, over on the album chart, MJ's Michael debuts at #4. Here in the States, the posthumous collection of Jacko jams (that surprisingly doesn't suck) is going toe-to-toe with Susan Boyle's The Gift in the final countdown to next week's #1 on the Top 200.

And while we do seem to love our SuBo over here—the enchanting Vocal Sex Queen Of Scotland's The Gift has been #1 for four non-consecutive weeks now—it's Take That's Progress that truly rules the man band's home country. The album is #1 for a fifth week, and thus becomes the last chart-topping LP of 2010 across the pond.

The U.K. Top 10:

1. "When We Collide" - Matt Cardle *new* *1 week* 
2. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
3. "Surfin' Bird" - The Trashmen *new*
4. "The Time (Dirty Bit)" - The Black Eyed Peas 
5. "Your Song" - Ellie Goulding
6. "The Flood" - Take That
7. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna 
8. "Many Of Horror" - Biffy Clyro
9. "Whip My Hair" - Willow
10. "Hold My Hand" - Michael Jackson feat. Akon

Take That And A Bunch Of Naked Guys Do The 2010 Royal Variety Performance

Take That, Kylie Minogue and way less talented people who lip sync like Chart Rigger 10 Worst Singles Of 2010 honoree Cheryl Cole took to the stage at London's Palladium last night for the Royal Variety Performance.

The That did their UK hit "The Flood" and "SOS", and during the former they had an army of practically naked dudes on stage with them, apparently acting out the poses on the cover of new album Progress—which, let's be honest, isn't really really as weird as choosing "SOS" as the next single instead of "Happy Now."

Wonder if the Queen dug it?



Here's Kylie:

UK Chart Roundup: The Black Eyed Eyed Peas Have 'The F.L.O.P.'

It's interesting to see how Nicole Scherzinger's 4,567,893rd attempt at a solo career is unfolding. Following last year's news that Pussycat Dolls were going on hiatus or breaking up or whatever the hell they're doing, Nicole put on her cha-cha thong and won Dancing With The Stars here in the States, then acted as a fill-in judge earlier this year on The X Factor.

And since she got a cushy performance spot on The X Factor last weekend, just as her RedOne-produced jam "Poison" was released, the single has now entered the UK chart at #3. You have to wonder where it would have placed sans the high-profile TV gig?

Oh, well—I'm still torn on what I think of "Poison." It's not un-enjoyable, really...is it?



Anyway, over on the album chart, the Black Eyed Peas flop in at #17 with The Beginning. That's actually a pretty colossal disaster, no? Especially considering The E.N.D. got to #3 in the UK last year.

Even more scandalous is the fact that Billboard reports The Beginning is on track to get bested by Susan Boyle's month-old The Gift on this upcoming week's U.S. album chart, and will likely only sell in the range of 100,000 to 125,000 copies. Says the mag, "For the Peas, that's off quite a bit from the arrival of their last album, The E.N.D., which gave the quartet its first No. 1 last year with a 304,000 unit start according to Nielsen SoundScan."

Yeah, well, too bad lead single "The Time (Dirty Bit)" SUCKS. Elsewhere on the UK album chart, Take That's Progress is #1 for a third week (and thus forces Olly Murs' self-titled debut to enter at #2) while Duffy's Endlessly debuts at #9.

The U.K. Top 10:

1. "Heroes" - The X Factor Finalists 2010 *2 weeks* 
2. "Your Song" - Ellie Goulding
3. "Poison" - Nicole Scherzinger *new*
4. "Thinking Of Me" - Olly Murs
5. "Like A G6" - Far East Movement feat. The Cataracs & Dev
6. "The Time (Dirty Bit)" - The Black Eyed Peas
7. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna 
8. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
9. "Who's That Chick" - David Guetta feat. Rihanna *new*
10. "Love You More" - JLS

UK Chart Roundup: I'd Hit It With Olly Murs

I really don't have the strength to bother with this week's #1 single on the UK chart. Utter shit.



That said, Olly Murs latest jam "Thinking Of Me" is worthy of its #4 entry, while Jessie J's "Do It Like A Dude"—which the blogosphere collectively masturbated over but nobody bought—flops in at #25.



Elsewhere, Kylie Minogue flies up to #40 with "Better Than Today" two weeks ahead of the single's official release date. (For more on mine and other bitches' thoughts on Jessie J and Kylie's singles, see the latest edition of Pop Trash Addicts' Pop Panel.)

Over on the Brit album chart Take That retain the top spot after selling more than 208,000 copies of Progress in week number two. That gives the LP a grand total of 728,000 copies moved since its release.

Zippity-doo-dizzy.

The U.K. Top 10:

1. "Heroes" - The X Factor Finalists 2010 *new* *1 week* 
2. "Your Song" - Ellie Goulding
3. ""Love You More" - JLS
4. "Thinking Of Me" - Olly Murs *new*
5. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna 
6. "The Flood" - Take That
7. "Like A G6" - Far East Movement feat. The Cataracs & Dev
8. "Firework" - Katy Perry

10. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
