Comments
Akon and Eminem prevent Justin Timberlake from once again occupying the #1 spot on both sides of the Atlantic with his single "My Love." The big news of the week for UK pop fans is the dramatic reappearance of Take That 10 years after the seminal boy band broke up. "Patience" opens at #6 on downloads only. It should have an easy path to the top next week. Another welcome return is Emma Bunton, formerly of the Spice Girls, with a remake of Petula Clark's classic "Downtown." It should roar into the top reaches of the chart next week as well.
