Olly Murs reaches a new peak with “My Heart Skips a Beat”. The UK X Factor winner jumps 7-4 this week. Taylor Swift spawns another top 5 hit this week. “Ronan” climbs 13-5 making Swift only the third artist with more than 1 songs charted in the Top10 at the same week. “Give Your Heart a Break” by Demi Lovato leaves the Top5 after 9 weeks (2 of them at #1).
“Some Nights” by fun. loses ground falling 5-7, Ellie Goulding’s former #1 smash single “Lights” moves 6-8 and Cher Lloyd gets a massive decrease with “Want U Back”.
