Taio Cruz: First timer
Taio Cruz scored his first number one single this week with Break Your Heart, according to the Official UK Charts Company. Pixie Lott drops to six after just one week at the summit, while David Guetta stays strong at number two with Akon-featured Sexy Bitch. Madonna can only manage a new entry into position three, despite jumping on the dance-electro bandwagon by roping in producer Paul Oakenfold, who still hasn’t written a good song since he dropped Balaeric anthem Southern Sun in 2002.
Meanwhile, in the album charts, rock trio Muse have hit the number one spot for the third consecutive time with The Resistance, despite critical reviews, showing Britain hasn’t tired of overblown space rock just yet. Reality star Peter Andre impressively beats out Jay-Z, who debuts at a disappointing number four with Blueprint 3, while old timers Vera Lynn and Mark Knopfler keep the dream alive with placings in the top ten, the former who became the oldest artist to ever score a number one album, when We’ll Meet Again reached the summit last week.
