Comments
There is some really good music rolling into the chart this week, and then there's Chico. The ex-stripper was an X Factor also-ran to winner Shayne Ward. However, "It's Chico Time" is very catchy even if it may not deserve #1 status. A little further down the new waveish rock band Orson rolls into the chart and Shakira has her first UK top 10 single since 2002.

Comments
As if they were all just stepping aside, last week's top 4 albums each slide down a notch to make room for Corinne Bailey Rae to become only the 4th woman in the history of the UK charts to debut at #1 on the album chart. She is the new artist story of the year so far. Down at #14 Ne-Yo slides in with the album that is opening at the top of the US album chart this week.
Best Bets For Next Week's Singles Chart
- Sugababes - Red Dress <Listen>
This could be a big one. The single includes the glorious b-side, the girls version of Arctic Monkeys' "I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor." - Shapeshifters - Incredible
The electronic dance act looks to match the breakout success of 2004's instrumental "Lola's Theme." - Placebo - Because I Want You
The rock band return a week ahead of release of their new album.
