Mikey’s Reload Top 40 Chart: 11th February, 2007
Chart Commentary
No move for Mika for the fourth week at No.1 with ‘Grace Kelly’ taken from ‘Life In Cartoon Motion’ an album full of fresh air, quite easily the best album of the year I ever listened to. Klaxons still remain at No.2 with ‘Golden Skans’. The Fray are a Denver 4 piece band whose single ‘How To Save A Life’ the piano mellowing the overall sound, to produce a more grown-up version of emo, climbs up to No.3. One of the best tracks around at the moment, which is bound to take the British charts by storm when the single is physically released. Kaiser Chiefs climb up 3 places to No.4 with ‘Ruby’ taken from their soon to be release second studio album ‘Yours Truly Angry Mob’. The Feeling follow up to ‘Love It When You Call’ comes this beauty ditty of a ballad ‘Rose’ climbing 9 places to No.5, one of the best bands of 2006, making their mark into 2007. Snow Patrol continue their success in 2007 from the best selling album of 2006 ‘Eyes Open’ comes another hit ‘Open Your Eyes’, they should walk away with a couple of Brit Awards next Wednesday, most definitely for their album, if they don’t there will be an outcry. The highest new entry of 6 comes from Take That, how do you follow up a hit like ‘Patience’ quite easily actually ‘Shine’ is a wonderful little ditty with Mark Owen taken the lead on vocals, taken from their million selling album ‘Beautiful World’. Gwen Stefani feat. Akon, The Killers, Cascada, +44 and CSS make up the rest of the new entries inside this week’s Top 40.
