Comments

This is the last week the UK pop singles chart will be compiled under current rules. Next week the chart will not require songs making the list to be available in physical formats. Online only singles may compete for the top. With the old rules, heavy rock band Iron Maiden debut in the top 3. Among new songs, former Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour debuts with his version of Pink Floyd's very first hit single "Arnold Layne."

Comments

Take That hang on to the top spot on the album chart, but Christmas shopping is a big influence this week. A number of big hits from earlier in the year move back toward the top. 2 of these beneficiaries are Snow Patrol and Razorlight showing up back in the top 5.
