Chart Round-Up – 17 November 2013

Dance hits continue to top the charts

Riding upon the #1 success of Storm Queen’s dance hit ‘Look Right Through’ last week, Garrix’s dance floor smash breaks the spell of the John Lewis Christmas magic and beats Lily Allen to the number one spot (though Keane’s original has crept back into the Top 40 9 years after its release at number 29).

New entries

Lady Gaga makes another disappointing entry into the singles chart at number 9, which is a shame as ‘Do What You Want’ is a return to the proper catchy tunes of previous albums. Still at least ARTPOP is number 1 in the album chart –  all is not lost, let’s not eject GaGa into space just yet. Canadian Queen-of-Ballads, Celine Dion makes a return with her highest charting single in the UK in over a decade at number 14 with yet another Sia Furler penned hit ‘Loved Me Back To Life’.

Best Song: Youth – Foxes – beautiful shimmering electro-pop at its finest with a superb vocal and melody from this Rudimental vocalist. Not to be confused with Ylvis ‘The Fox’ which was a contender for Worst Song…

Worst song:  All Bad – Justin Bieber – Another dull single in a string of generic hits from Justin Bieber, securing his sixth top 40 hit in as many weeks All Bad. Someone needs to tell this boy quantity doesn’t mean quality.
