Comments
With a one-place move to #2, "The Sweet Escape" becomes Gwen Stefani's biggest solo single to date in the UK. Justin Timberlake climbs into the top 5 for the 3rd time from his album FutureSex / LoveSounds. Down a bit further, Robbie Williams has a rather poor debut at #16 for his superstar collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys. The lackluster reputation of the album Rudebox is seriously hurting his record sales, while his former group Take That, enjoying a second week at #1 with "Shine," is flying high once again.

While the #2 debut by alt-rock heroes Arcade Fire clearly shows a number of UK pop fans are fearlessly looking into the future of popular music, the top 10 debuts from Donny Osmond and Dolly Parton clearly demonstrate the past of pop music is admired as well. The Kaiser Chiefs hold resolutely to the top spot on the album chart for another week.
