Madonna landed her 13th chart-topping U.K. single with "4 Minutes" (Warner
Bros.) featuring Justin Timberlake yesterday (April 20), while British rock
band the Kooks scored an instant No. 1 with their sophomore Virgin album,
"Konk."
The Madonna track is her 60th U.K. top 10 single, according to data from the
Official U.K. Charts Company, and she now pulls away as the female solo artist
with the most No. 1 hits in British chart history, with Kylie Minogue next at
seven.
Estelle's "American Boy" (Homeschool/Atlantic), which topped the singles survey
for the previous four weeks, fell to No. 2, and Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold"
(Island/Universal) fell 2-3. There were top 10 climbs for September's "Cry
For You" (Hard2Beat), up 9-5; "Love in This Club" (LaFace/Sony BMG) by Usher
featuring Young Jeezy, 14-6; and "The Age of the Understatement" (Domino) by
the Last Shadow Puppets, featuring Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys and Miles
Kane of the Rascals, 24-9.
In the top 20, Scouting For Girls climbed 19-14 with "Heartbeat" (Epic),
Britney Spears rose 23-15 with "Break the Ice" (Jive/Sony BMG) and will.i.am's
"Heartbreaker" (A&M/Universal), the U.K. version of which features Cheryl
Cole of Girls Aloud, jumped 29-18.
The Kooks' No. 1 debut eclipses the No. 2 start of their January 2006 album
"Inside In/Inside Out," which has gone on to sell 2 million copies worldwide,
according to Virgin. The new set contains "Always Where I Need To Be," which
two weeks ago became the Kooks' highest-ranked U.K. single at No. 3, and the
next single, "Sway."
Leona Lewis' U.S. chart-topping "Spirit" album (Syco Music/Sony BMG) moved
back 5-2 in its 23rd U.K. chart week, as Mariah Carey's "E=MC2"
(Def Jam/Universal) debuted at No. 3. That's Carey's highest album ranking
in Britain since "Butterfly" reached No. 2 in 1997. "Touch My Body," the
first single from the new release, dipped 5-7 in the U.K. this week.
Duffy's "Rockferry" (A&M/Universal) fell 1-4 on the new chart, which featured
a No. 6 debut for Elliot Minor's self-titled Warner Bros. debut. The band
from the English city of York reached No. 22 last week with its single
"Parallel Worlds."
Duffy is all-powerful on Billboard's pan-European sales charts, rising 3-1 on
European Top 100 Albums with "Rockferry" and 2-1 on Eurochart Hot 100 Singles
with "Mercy."
