Comments
In a very unusual turn of events this week, Leona Lewis' double a-side single of "Better in Time" and "Footprints in the Sand" debuts at #2 while a separate chart placing of "Footprints in the Sand" is at #25. Quirky chart rules are responsible for the dual placement. Duffy holds for a 5th week at the top making it consecutive #1 singles in the UK spending 5 weeks or more at #1 for the first time since 1993. Panic at the Disco score their first top 20 chart hit with "Nine in the Afternoon," the lead single from the upcoming album Pretty. Odd.

Comments
On the heels of 2 big pop singles, OneRepublic open at a strong #2 with their first album Dreaming Out Loud. Leona Lewis' #2 debut on this week's pop singles chart helps regenerate enough interest in her album Spirit to pull it back into the top 5 this week.
