release of a Comic Relief single. Presumably this was mostly to take
advantage of winning their made-up Brit award but it does also raise the
possibility of another "surprise" tie-in.
The song is of course primarily a cover of the 1979 Blondie track which was
a Top 30 hit in the US and is enjoying its first week in the UK Top 100 this
week. It also contains elements from 'Teenage Kicks' by the Undertones,
which has been released as a single in the UK several times but never got
higher than 31.

bother to make up an award for him (and he wasn't eligible for anything
else). But he showed up anyway and did what was by most accounts a decent
performance of this half-baked song. It was considerably shorter than the
commercially available version, which is a good start.
> Top 20 : Ellie Goulding #13,
>Pink (JGMAR) #16
Usual dull whiny Pink song, which people seem to think is something special
for no apparent reason.
> Top 30 : Olly Murs (AOT) #23
arriving, presumably due to the continued success of 'Troublemaker', but
here it is now. It's another testament to the effect that a video launch can
have if you're in with the video channels.
> Top 40 : Zedd #34,
Still featuring Zoey Deschanel/Katy Perry lookalike Foxes. Still not an
intereesting song.
>Script (IYCSMN) #36,
If you've been missing their early rapping-badly-in-American-accents style,
you'll love this.
> Tyler James (WAY) #38
As it turned out he did sneak in despite the Brits effect. But the record
company will probably still "Worry about him" - geddit!!???
> Re-entries T40 : Ben Howard (OL) #9,
> Mumford & S #12,
Not a new peak but a resumption of its former one, still their highest
placing to date on the singles chart.
>Robbie (Candy) #39
Like the other two, a Brits performer although his performance got at best a
mixed response.
> New Entries outside the top 40 (plus new peaks) : Lil Wayne #44,
> Example #49,
Wouldn't be far off Top 40 without the Brits effect. Will presumably outsell
his previous single if it hasn't already.
> 1975 #54,
I heard this song for the second time this week. I liked it even less than I
had the first time.
>Muse (Supr) #58,
Also played at the Brits, even though they seem to be thinking about the
next single already.
>Joe Cocker #64,
Not featured at this year's Brits, though I'm sure he has been nominated for
one at some point in the last 36 years.
Anyway, this is his new single and is doing surprisingly well under the
circumstances, even allowing that it's been one of Radio 2's most-played
tracks in recent weeks. It has more than a hint of Springsteen about it, or
to be more accurate of a Springsteen who needed to clear his throat.
>Ke$ha (C'Mon) #70,
Probably a bigger seller than the chart positions make it look.
> Re-entries T75 : Emeli Sande (NTM) #45,
> Birdy (PHTP) #55,
Somebody remembered she'd done a song other than 'Skinny Love'!
>M&S (LLM) #63,
Their second biggest hit.
> Survivor #65,
Not Brit winners, unless they've introduced an award for most amusing
unintentional resemblance to Frank Spencer in a pop video.
> Emeli Sande (RAAB3) #68,
On her new live album (which appears in the DVD/video chart) she does this
song as a duet with Professor Green. Dunno why she thought of that.
>OD (LWWY) #74,
Not quite as much of a flop as it looked at first.
>Ben Howard (KYHU) #75
Once place shy of its peak.
> Albums
> ------
> Emeli Sande returns to #1 for a 9th (non-consecutive) week.
I downloaded this album. I shall listen to it while I write the rest of this
commentary.

entire career. It's the first Bad Seeds album without long-term collaborator
Mick Harvey, who was also in his previous bands Boys Next Door and The
Birthday Party, but not in Grinderman.
Oh, and it has a naked picture of his wife on the cover. Isn't that more the
sort of thing you'd expect from Whitesnake?
> Ben Howard #4
An album I seem to have written about dozens of times before and I never
really had anything much to say about it in the first place.
> Top 20 : Alt-J #13,
Didn't win any Brit Awards, fortunately.
>Joe Cocker #17
If you're Joe Cocker and you need somebody to play guitar on your 23rd
studio album, who you gonna call? Ray Parker Jr, and some other people.
This album features most of the same team as his 2010 album Hard Knocks but
has charted much higher, possibly due to the popularity of the title track.
The more expensive deluxe album adds two more songs and a live DVD with
songs from the album.
> New entries/new peaks outside the top 20 : Louis Lester Band #53,
series Dancing On The Edge. This soundtrack has been rattling around the
extended chart for a couple of weeks but only now cracks the Top 75,
presumably due to people hearing more of the songs as the series progresses.
> Re-entries : Ludovico Einaudi #41,
Surprise re-entry of the week.
> XX (Co-Ex) #50,
Among the lower-profile Brits nominees.
>Killers (BB) #57,
As were they (this year at least). TBH, I'd already forgotten this album
existed.
> Florence (C) #61,
In and out every fortnight.
>Beyonce (4) #62,
A couple of weeks after the logical time for it to re-enter.
>Justin Bieber #65,
He's on tour in the UK at the moment.
> Train #69,
Presumably helped a bit by the airplay of their new single. But not a lot
because it's really shite.
> Vaccines #71,
Were they nominated for Band That Makes Jake Bugg Seem Appealing?
>Pibk (GHSF) #73,
Probably just a default one.
> Girls Aloud #74
Maybe this is on special offer to try and rescue it.
> Next Week

2s than 1s, maybe that's why. I can imagine Bauuer, Macklemore & RL or both
overtaking him early in the week.
> Top 5 : Bastille
Seems likely - certainly what their label will be hoping for after all the
hype.
> Top 10 : Laura Mvula
Dunno whether it can keep the momentum to this extent but we'll have to wait
and see.
> Top 20 : Paramore
Seems about their level.
> Top 30 : Wiley
Would be a major comedown after his last two singles went Top 3. Any reason
for that prediction?
> Top 40 : Dido,
She didn't manage it with the last album. I'm not sure she's even trying.

Yeah, I think he'll sneak in the lower end.
> There may be more unexpected OA/OS releases, though.
There is an expected Bowie single on Tuesday, but who knows how it will

Surely we'd have heard about it if he was releasing a new album?

This does exist but I'd doubt whether he's big enough these days.
> Glee Cast,
This does exist but I'd doubt whether they're big enough these days.
>Michael Ball
I see the calendar and think T20.
Also:
Atoms For Peace are Thom Yorke's new band and will almost inevitably go T10.
Palma Violets are sort of the new Libertines. Steven Wilson is a veteran of
various prog acts who usually spend one week in the Top 30. Petula Clark's
had more publicity than usual this time, she could sneak T75. Caitlin Rose
isn't particularly well-known but she's doing well enough on Amazon to be
worth a mention.

Yes, he was cautioned for possession of indecent images.
Incidentally, another councillor elsewhere in the borough was actually
convicted of stealing money from a disabled man. He hasn't resigned though.

I was particularly thinking that supermarket sales had dramatic week-on-week
effects because they attract people unawares - and they restock product that
they wouldn't otherwise have.

Yes, that's the official name of the criminal offence. I would guess that it
was at the less serious end of the spectrum, as he was only cautioned.

Considering that he had the brass neck to claim his council allowances when
he was under a curfew that prevented him going to council meetings, I
wouldn't be so sure of that. I suppose the party might deselect him though.

I think most of the remaining shops, beyond the surviving branches of HMV,
are the sort of independent outlets that wouldn't contemplate not stocking a
Nick Cave record whoever was naked on the front of it. Or specialist
dance/hip-hop/classical shops that wouldn't carry him anyway.
Where he would have to be careful would be advertising, and come to think of
it I don't think I have seen any posters for this album.

are the sort of independent outlets that wouldn't contemplate not stocking a
Nick Cave record whoever was naked on the front of it. Or specialist
dance/hip-hop/classical shops that wouldn't carry him anyway.
Where he would have to be careful would be advertising, and come to think of
it I don't think I have seen any posters for this album.

Maybe she already has, but wasn't allowed to put them on her debut

Have you ever seen them for *any* Nick Cave album, though?

In theory, although I suspect that in practice most people just vote on
party lines in local elections. Well, most people don't at all, actually -
the turnout in that by-election was only 28%.

Does it have to be a nude horse? Nick Cave famously once said that his muse
wasn't a horse.
Anyway, it's relatively unlikely that most supermarkets would be selling a
Nick Cave album whatever the cover looked like, IMO. Remember when Tesco
insisted on covering up that Manic Street Preachers album?
OTOH, I don't think anyone in the UK complained about the Strokes album
cover.

Possible, although there is one of her own on there.
