Comments
White Stripes very nearly score their first #1 hit single in the UK, but they will have to settle for a #2 placing just behind Rihanna who spends her 5th week at the top. Enrique Iglesias enters the top 3 for the first time in 5 years. A bit further down, it looks like Kelly Clarkson's "Never Again" will peak at #9, a relative disappointment similar to her #5 peak at home in the US.

The top 5 this week looks like a serious throwback to 80's rock. The Traveling Wilburys, Bon Jovi, Police, and Genesis all enter the top 5. Only Rihanna provides a representation for contemporary music.
