There's not much movement at the top, but Liz McLarnon's solo debut is the first UK top 5 pop hit to come out of the ashes of Atomic Kitten. It is a remake of Barbra Streisand's classic "Woman in Love." Goldfrapp collects their 3rd major hit from the album Supernature. They will attempt to charm U.S. fans in March.

Comments

The Arctic Monkeys hold firmly to the top of the albums chart, but last week's Brit Award winners Kaiser Chiefs and KT Tunstall see serious growth in their album sales. U.S. indie pop faves Beth Orton and Panic! At the Disco show they are just as popular in the U.K. as at home.

Best Bets For Next Week's Singles Chart

  • Michael Jackson - Thriller
    In the tradition of last year's Elvis Presley reissues, Michael Jackson will take on the UK singles chart with a long series of new editions of classic singles.
  • Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
    It's a double-barrelled attack from Michael this week.
  • Madonna - Sorry
    "Hung Up" was a huge return for Madonna late last year. She will attempt to follow it up with another smash single from the Confessions on a Dance Floor album.
