Comments

Estelle keeps a grip on the top of the chart for a 3rd week. However, Mariah Carey soars into the top 10 at #6 with her new US #1 hit "Touch My Body." Look for it to challenge for the top in coming weeks. Carey will have to make her way past the Kooks as well who return with "Always Where I Need to Be" soaring to #3 this week.

Comments

Despite the failure of their single "Supernatural Superstitious" in catching fire with UK music fans, R.E.M. do storm to the top of the charts in the first week of release for their album Accelerate. Nickelback's over 2 1/2 years old album All the Right Reasons slides back into the top 5 this week.
