After taking 28 weeks to reach number one, Florence & The Machine are in no mood to relinquish their albusm chart throne, but on the singles chart there is no replay for Iyaz, as Owl City swoops.
Ahead in early midweek flashes, Iyaz’s Replay finally surrendered pole position to Owl City’s Fireflies, thus failing in its quest to become the first single on the Reprise label to spend three weeks at number one since label founder Frank Sinatra’s Strangers In The Night in 1966. Replay’s sales dipped 22.1% to 67,601, while Firflies’ increased 21.3% to 71,865.
Fireflies is the introductory UK single of Owl City – 20-year-old Adam Young – though lead vocals on the track are handled by Matt Thiessen of the group Relient K. The track reached number one in America in December and has sold 3,002,553 copies there to date. Owl City’s album, Ocean Eyes, is released here in four weeks February 22).
Glee Cast’s Don’t Stop Believin’ rises 5-3 on sales of 51,621, a 31.8% increase week-on-week. Its cause was helped both by Channel 4’s Sunday repeat screening of the series, which premiered on E4 the previous week, and fast-growing airplay – it jumps 149-33 on the radio airplay chart as its audience more than quintuples to more than 20m.
Without airplay, there are mixed fortunes for the other four Glee Cast tracks that made the Top 75 a week ago: Take A Bow climbs 43-36 (8,596 sales, 16.9% up), Gold Digger rises 49-44 (7,128 sales, 13.4% up) and Rehab moves 62-68 (4,047 sales, down 13.6%), while On My Own dips out of the Top 75, falling 73-87 (3,239 sales, 20.8% down). Only two new Glee Cast songs released last week. Bust Your Windows, a cover of Jazmine Sullivan’s 2008 number 31 US hit, debuts at number 57 (5,332 sales) but the other – the Duffy cover Mercy falls short of the Top 75, debuting at number 94 (2,966 sales).
Meanwhile, Journey’s original version of Don’t Stop Believin eases 6-7 (35,602 sales). I erroneously suggested last week that it was the biggest selling download of a song originally issued before 2000. It is actually the biggest-selling download of a track from before 1990 – its 432,396 sales are impressive but well short of the 669,748 copies that Rage Against The Machine’s recent chart-topper Killing In The Name has sold digitally.
While The Ministry Of Sound’s 64th Top 10 hit of the century continues to prosper, it is joined in the top tier by its 65th. On its third week in the chart, Riverside (Let’s Go) by Sidney Samson feat. Wizard Sleeve drifts 3-5 (43,826 sales) while Example’s Won’t Go Quietly debuts at number six (39,288 sales). Both tracks are on the Data label, source of 34 of those hits. The Ministry Of Sound thus increases its lead over next most successful 21st century indie, Telstar, which racked up 26 Top 10 hits before its 2004 demise.
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ Empire State Of Mind drifts 20-21 (14,852 sales) on its 19th week in the Top 40. It is overtaken for the first time by Keys’ solo ‘answer’ to the track, Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down, which climbs 23-15 (20,265 sales), helped by rapidly-growing airplay and Keys’ performance of the track on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross (BBC1, 22 January). Parent album The Element Of Freedom falls 7-8, despite increasing sales by 12.5% last week to 20,626.
Singles sales drift lower for the third time in a row, falling 3.64% week-on-week to 3,029,142. They are 17.47% above same week 2009 sales of 2,578,689. Last week’s total, incidentally includes just 1,515 12” sales – though that’s an improvement on the 1,208 12” singles sold four weeks ago, the lowest tally recorded since the format was launched 34 years ago.

Albums
Florence + The Machine fought off an early challenge by Lostprophets and the continuing presence of Paolo Nutini to secure a second week at the top of the UK artist albums chart.
Florence's Lungs had to operate at full capacity to fight off first Lostprophets, then Nutini. Lostprophets’ challenge faded throughout the week but Nutini’s grew. In a photo-finish, Lungs is first past the post for the second week in a row, on sales of 42,359, defeating Nutini’s Sunny Side Up by just 211 sales. Both albums are off week-on-week, with Lungs dipping 17% and Sunny Side Up ebbing 15%. Florence’s tally is the lowest for a number one album since The Editors’ In This Light And On This Evening topped 14 weeks ago on sales of 30,669.
Welsh rockers Lostprophets' fourth album The Betrayed topped the chart on early sales flashes but eventually debuted at number three on sales of 31,873 copies.
Following the number 16 peak of introductory single It’s Not The End Of The World But I Can See It From Here and the number 32 peak of follow-up Where We Belong, the album fails to match its predecessor Liberation Transmission, which earned the band its maiden number one in 2006, on sales of 55,425 copies.
Fifteen-year-old Canadian Justin Bieber has been in the UK promoting his debut album My World, which debuts strongly at number four on sales of 28,274 copies, following first single One Time’s success. One Time has moved 14-11-12 since debuting a fortnight ago and sold 25,494 copies last week. Bieber’s new-found fans are busy downloading individual tracks from My World, too – all seven of the other My World tracks are in the Top 200, led by One Less Lonely Girl (number 62, 4,795 sales), Love Me (number 71, 3,815 sales) and Favorite Girl (number 76, 3,556 sales).
Two other new albums secure enough sales to make Top 30 debuts this week: The Eels’ 10th chart entry, End Times, which debuts at number 21 (8,336 sales) and the soundtrack set Alvin & The Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel, which arrives at number 22 (8,300 sales). The Chipmunks have released at least 42 previous albums – but this is the first to chart, arriving more than 50 years after their first hit single, Ragtime Cowboy Joe, and 38 years to the week after their creator and original voice, Ross Bagdasarian, died.
Although it did not match the number one peak of her first two singles, Pixie Lott’s third, Cry Me Out, is holding on very nicely and stimulating sales of her album Turn It Up. Cry Me Out peaked at number 12 but has meandered 26-26-24-29-29-27 in the past few weeks. Lott’s album ended a 17-week absence from the Top 10 last week and now moves 10-7, coming to rest one place below the peak it reached on its debut week last September. It has sold 299,825 copies so far, while single Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh), Boys And Girls and Cry Me Out have sold 285,375, 231,001 and 178,545 respectively.
Meanwhile, the jury is still out on whether Alexandra Burke or JLS will complete their hat-trick of number ones with their third singles. Burke seems unlikely to do it with Broken Heels improving only 10-8 (33,240 sales), but JLS’ One Shot is moving faster, climbing 32-10 (27,286 sales). For both artists, however, the singles have helped their debut albums to revive: Burke’s Overcome rallies 28-19 (9,449 sales), while JLS’ self-titled set climbs 30-20 (8,391 sales) – the first time it has risen since it debuted at number one 10 weeks ago. Overcome has sold 513,833 copies to date, while JLS has sold 995,297.
Album sales extend their losing sequence to five weeks in a row, falling a further 4.11% to 1,892,907 – that’s 8.80% above same week sales of 1,739,829 in 2009.

WOW. Pixie Lott back in the Top 10. I thought it was done and no chances of hooking up the coveted UK's Top 10 after the (disappointing) debut week. Nice!
Im so appalled with Spirit selling much higher than Echo.

Keys to the chart
11:11 | Tuesday January 26, 2010
By Paul Williams
Alicia Keys is poised to score the highest-charting album of her career to date in the UK as her performance on Jonathan Ross’s BBC1 chat show last Friday prompts a huge leap in sales for The Element Of Freedom.
The J/RCA-issued album, which was at eight on last Sunday’s chart, now stands as the third biggest-selling album of the week so far behind Florence + The Machine and Paolo Nutini, according to OCC Data.
Providing the album, whose sales are up 46.8% week on week, remains in the top five by the end of the week it will mark a new chart high on the UK albums chart for Keys whose previous best peak on the chart occurred in 2001 when her debut release Songs In ‘A’ Minor reached number six.
Her track Empire State Of Mind (Part II), meanwhile, is making rapid progress on the singles chart and is expected to move from 15 into the Top 10 this Sunday.
On last Sunday’s chart just 211 sales separated Florence’s Island-issued Lungs and Atlantic-signed Nutini’s Sunny Side Up and in this new chart week the gap between them remains tiny with Florence again having slightly the upper hand. Lungs is a few hundred sales ahead of Sunny Side Up with The Element Of Freedom in third place and Decca act Andre Rieu’s Forever Vienna and Interscope/Polydor’s The Fame by Lady GaGa completing the top-five sellers.
Having reached number 12 with their first album Music For An Accelerated Culture, Leeds-based Hadouken now look set to make their Top 10 debut with the newly-issued follow-up For The Masses the seventh top-seller at this stage of the week.
It could be joined in the Top 10 this coming weekend by Rhino’s soundtrack to the movie Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 - The Squeakquel. The album was at 22 on last Sunday’s chart, but its sales since last week have more than doubled.
Two newly-issued Sony live albums look set for Top 40 debuts: A Reality Tour by David Bowie and Dolly Parton’s Live From London. They should be joined in the 40 by the brand new album from Domino’s Four Tet, There Is Love In You, while a new Charlotte Gainsbourg album, released by Because Music, is aiming to give the French artist her first-ever UK Top 40 hit.
The top-five sellers on last Sunday’s singles chart make up the five biggest sellers in the week so far, but in a slightly shuffled order. Island’s Owl City, who climbed to one last weekend, leads again with Fireflies, although Epic-handled Glee Cast’s version of Don’t Stop Believin’ is its new closest challenger, overtaking the Reprise-issued Replay by Iyaz. Starstrukk by 30H3 featuring Katy Perry and issued by Asylum/Atlantic and the Data-issued Riverside (Let’s Go) by Sidney Samson featuring Wizard Sleeve remain among the top-five hits.

Pixie is back in the top ten because she was nominated for three Brit Awards last week. If she was to win an award she could go higher, but I don't think she has a shot at any of them. The competition is very tough this year.

I love Marina aswell! I also really like Ellie Goulding. They both have alot of expectations placed upon themselves now that they were the Top 2 in the BBC sound of 2010 poll. Alot of people are saying they will flop !  I'm hoping that Marina can go top ten on her first week, and then maybe higher when her airplay picks up. I think they will both be very successful, but it might take a while for them to establish themselves sort of like Florence + the Machine. The last month has been the strongest for her both album and single wise

That's exactly what I was thinking! I remember being happy when IFTK went top ten because it didn't start off so well, and then it had such an amazing run in the end  I think Hollywood could follow a similar pattern aswell. Marina is A-listed on Radio 1 though, she has been for a few weeks. It took them ages to A-list IFTK

Katy Perry is showing some chart skills people! She's holding on very well inside the Top 5. Go girl! 
I hope Hollywood will shoot up to the charts too. Im not too keen for Elie G, though.
YGTL is amazing but DDAO is 
Kiss With A Fist >>>>>

DDAO is my favourite Florence song! That and Rabbit Heart.
Ellie Goulding is good, I prefer 'under the Sheets' to 'starry eyed' though. I hope she doesn't flop anyway

I cant stand it
I think its the only song from the album that doesnt hit me hard. And it's number 1 on the tracklisting! 
Ellie Goulding has been getting rave reviews lately from casual listeners but IDK...I don't get the hype. :-/

I didn't like Ellie at first TBH, but her music gets much better the more you listen to it Marina and Ellie have alot of hype because they were placed as the top 2 on the BBC sound of 2010 poll. It's alot of pressure to live up to, I hope they can have success to match the hype. Little Boots never had much success to warrant all the hype she had.

Yeah, Little Boots had an advantage over her music career but I think it was her material that washed down the interest. She's a bit poppy, although still very UK, it doesn't have the grip of communal British music. She's unforgettable, if you must. :-/
Let's see if Ellie can break the ice.
Im still not sold, though.

I like 'remedy', it was a modest hit but I think it will probably end up as the biggest hit of her career. Her next Album will not receive the hype this one did, so that could be an advantage or a disadvantage. IMO the problem with Little Boots is that she is not at all original, she reminds me of a cheap Kylie Mingoue... La Roux and Flroence + the Machine are the true winners of the Sound of 2009 IMO.
Give Ellie time  Her album is out in March
