Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Thursday 4th November

So chart buffs, we’re still looking at a Rihanna, Cheryl, Alexis, Bruno and Katy top five this week and in that order, and that is not likely to change too much before we hit Sunday’s charts.

Further down the chart we see Shakespears Sister still selling well at #9, whilst Duck Sauce’s ‘Barbra Streisand’ has risen back up to the #10 spot, although they’re currently just 182 sales ahead of The Saturdays, who’ve sold a solid 19,295 copies of their Flo Rida collaboration ‘Higher.’

will.i.am and Nicki Minaj rest at #12, 1,094 copies of their single ‘Check It Out’ behind The Saturdays, whilst B.o.B. and Rivers Cuomo come in at #16.

Nadine is still struggling further down the chart, currently at #24, one place above Roll Deep and Alesha Dixon at #25.

Cheryl Cole is still ahead on the album chart, shifting over 70,000 copies of her sophomore ‘Messy Little Raindrops,’ with Bon Jovi’s greatest hits LP in second place with 56,000 sales. The top five is completed with Rumer, Kings Of Leon and Jamiroquai.

See you tomorrow where we’ll see if Nadine can ever crack the top twenty...

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Wednesday 3rd November

So, whilst Rihanna’s still top dog at the #1 spot, it looks as though a certain Miss Cole wasn’t too happy with being shoved down to #3 and as such has switched places with Alexis Jordan for the #2 place.

Alexis is still followed by Bruno Mars and Katy Perry to round off the top five, with Cee-Lo, Posner and Nelly following up.

Elsewhere in the chart we see a swarm of new entries in the top thirty, with Tinchy Styder and Taio Cruz at #21, Roll Deep and Alesha Dixon at #25 and Nadine Coyle scrabbling up the chart from #35 to #26 so we may just see a top twenty placing for her yet...

Over on the albums chart, it’s looking pretty clear that Cheryl will be nabbing the #1 spot, followed by Bon Jovi, Rumer, Kings Of Leon and Jamiroquai. Bad news for Joe McElderry though, who’s album ‘Wide Awake’ slips down to #19.

Catch you tomorrow ;) 

Uk Midweek Charts Roundup - Tuesday 2nd Oct

Looks like our predictions were right people, after her crazy performance on Sunday night’s X Factor Results Show, Rihanna has swept to the top of the midweeks with her single ‘Only Girl (In The World)!’

Cheryl Cole isn’t even following her, as newcomer Alexis Jordan settles in at #2 with her debut ‘Happiness,’ which we love her at The Ice, Spice and Vice Files. This means that Queen Cole (Well...she more or less is anyway) takes the #3 spot at the moment. But don’t fear Cheryl, you’re looking at a #1 album instead so it’s all good.

Completing the top five at the moment are Bruno Mars and Katy Perry who’s most likely still in demand due to her single ‘Firework’ appearing so close to the Firework Night on 5^th November.

Elsewhere we see Shakespears Sister return to the top ten with their 1992 #1 hit ‘Stay,’ after Cher Lloyd’s performance of the track on The X Factor on Saturday, whilst The Saturday’s collaboration with Flo Rida, ‘Higher,’ comes in at #10, but with only 400 more sales than will.i.am and Nicki Minaj who, for now, stick to the #11 spot.

Unfortunately for Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle, her debut solo single ‘Insatiable’ has stalled at #35 so far this week although we may see sales pick up as the physicals are released...let’s hope so for her sake...

See you tomorrow chart freaks, oh, and say a prayer for Miss Coyle before bedtime tonight ;)

Music Video Première - Nadine Coyle - Insatiable

A slightly unimaginative offering from the recently 'gone solo' Girls Aloud star, maybe she's trying to emphasise the fact that by appearing on her own...in an empty studio...with just the company of a microphone stand...She still looks stunning regardless and the song is great, let's hope she makes a good ranking in the charts.

The Votes Are In...

This week we asked you to vote for which single you preferred from rival Girls Aloud stars Nadine Coyle, whose debut 'Insatiable' is being geared up for release, or Cheryl Cole, whose lead single 'Promise This' from her new album 'Messy Little Raindrops' looks set to be a big track this year.

With 88% of the vote, Cheryl outstrips Nadine with no competition...Bad luck Nads...

Stay tuned for another poll coming shortly...

News - 6pm

• Twitter faces more criticism as Nadine Coyle's account was hacked into yet again last night and tweets were posted redirecting viewers to a diet site. The posts, which suggested that Coyle has been extreme dieting, claimed that the signer had lost 11lbs in a week. Fortunately Coyle's team spotted the incident which resulted in Coyle tweeting "Sorry guys but my Twitter has been hacked again!! We are trying to fix it. Don't listen to anything on there until I have it back. Thank you! -Nadine Xx mwAh!" In other Coyle related news, the singer has revealed that she didn't intend for her new solo LP to follow and 80s sounding route. However, she has played down the similarities, stating that it is just the use of live instrumentals that encourage the comparisons. Talking about the album, Coyle also added that she'd love to work with Cee-Lo Green, "Although it would hopefully not feature as much profanity as his recent song" titled 'Fuck You.'  What a busy day for the Irish songbird.

• It has been reported that Nadine's fellow Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has made no mention of former husband Ashley Cole in her new autobiography. The book, entitled 'Through My Eyes,' fails to elaborate on any details of her relationship and split with the football star throughout its 253 pages, whilst it does make references to 'close friends' Derek Hough and Will.I.Am. The British sweetheart also refrained from commenting on her recent battle with malaria. Don't do an autobiography if you're not going to say anything interesting...

• Ke$ha has finally passed the 1million sales mark for her debut album 'Animal,' leading to the LP being certified as platinum. However, the The Recording Industry Association of America has only given the certificate in anticipation of the remaining shipment of the album is passing the million sales mark in a few week's time, and standing at 946,700 sales already, this should be an easy feat for the 'Tik Tok' star. Ke$ha is lining up the re-release of 'Animal' whilst recording new material for album #2...'citing :D

• Hip-Hop diva Lil' Kim has kick started a joint venture with her cousin Katrise Jones by opening a hair salon, 'Se Swa.' Surrounded by friends and family, the owners cut the red ribbon and indulged in a champagne reception. Whilst Lil' Kim is looking better than she did on the cover of Kontrol magazine earlier this week, she should still be eyeing up the competition coming from up and coming starlet Nicki Minaj. 

• Lily Allen has revealed that she has no talent for designing clothes, despite quitting the music industry to follow a career in fashion. Despite this, Allen has opened up a vintage clothes shop, 'Lucy In Disguise,' with her sister so that she can continue to have a hands on approach to fashion. Talking to Bang Showbiz, the former signer said "I love vintage clothing and I felt like we could highlight how brilliant vintage shopping can be," A novel idea I suppose...perhaps she should have been less pretentious and carried on doing what she's good at?

News Bites - 12pm

• The new trailer for the latest Harry Potter movie, 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One' has been unveiled and looks like the most exciting yet. At 2.25 minutes long, the trailer is really cranking up the anticipation for the November 19th release and because the finale is split into two parts, it's going to be epic.

• Could Queen B be about to smash back onto the music scene earlier than anybody could have anticipated? Speculation has been mounting from Ne-Yo's news that Beyoncé knows exactly where she wants her next album to take her, and that "She's going to give you directions [like] 'Here's where I'm going, so here's where I need you to be...So this is the sound, this is the vibe; make it happen'. And I write and she likes it or she doesn't. And in this case she did, and there you have it." Increasing the rumours is producer Los Da Mystro, who last night tweeted "Listening to new B record Dream wrote....FUcKINg INSANE! WOw! She About to Kill the game again! Had to Listen again!! Yall C in 3 weeks!" So, this makes for some very exciting news, whilst he conceded that it may in fact be longer in coming later on in the evening, it would seem that B definitely has something major up her sleeve...

• After reports that she was in hot water due to her huge X Factor bill, Dannii Minogue is reportedly desperate to shed the pounds she gained whilst pregnant in time for her big X Factor comeback. Minogue wishes to look as glamourous as possible and has even chosen her initial outfit for the first live show which looks set to be huge. According to a source the new mum is concerned about looking big next to the ever slender Cheryl Cole and "...wants to blow everyone away. This could be her last year on The X Factor and she wants to go out with a bang." Furthermore, it sounds like she's serious, to ensure a tight weight loss regime, Dannii has been following a strict organic diet, cutting out wheat, dairy and meat...let's hope it's worth it...

• Girls Aloud star gone solo Nadine Coyle has revealed that her new album 'Insatiable' has been specifically written to have a storyline running through it. Coyle, who wrote much of the LP herself, has stated that she wanted "No auto tune, a full gospel choir on there, really heavy backing vocals, lyrical content that made sense - but not lyrics that only made sense to me, but could make sense to everybody listening." It's looking like we could have a very organic and different record from Coyle than the one people would have been expecting. If lead single, also titled 'Insatiable' is anything to go by, then we could be in for a treat.

• Shakira has returned with her brand new single 'Loca,' an extremely infectious Spanish infused number which also features British Hip-Hop star Dizzee Rascal. However, Shakira had originally intended to shoot its accompanying video without the rapper, but on set changed her mind and scrapped an allegedly raunchy video so that Dizzee could feature in it. We know he's not the best looker Shakira but still...The new video will show Rascal following Shakira around with a video camera as she runs riot throughout Barcelona. Shakira has warned, "UK, get ready to go Loca."
