UK Charts Top Ten - 17th Oct 2010

This week sees Cee-Lo cling onto the coveted #1 spot, fending off fierce competition from both Bruno Mars, who moved up from #4 to #2, and Duck Sauce who debut at #3 with ‘Barbra Streisand.’

Tinie Tempah also has his name stamped all over the Top 10, being found at both #4, with Sweedish House Mafia and #5 with Eric Turner. Unfortunately for reigning X Factor champ Joe McElderry, his sophomore single ‘Ambitions’ has failed to crack the top 5, let alone the #1 spot and is this week’s second highest new entry at #6.

The end of the chart is filled by two tracks that have shot up the chart this week. At #9 is Mike Posner, who jumps 13 spaces from #22 with his single ‘Cooler Than Me,’ whilst Usher, still riding high on his X Factor performance, leaps from the #18 spot to #10 with ‘DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love.’

Other new entries haven’t fared quite so well, with Pixie Lott’s ‘Broken Arrow’ at #12 and Michael Bublé’s ‘Hollywood’ debuting at #17.

Swedish House Mafia Vs Tinie Tempah - Miami 2 Ibiza

 

What do you get if you cross the Swedish House Mafia with a certain Mr T. Tempah? The answer...an electro driven club smash by the sounds of things...


The lyrics and beat to 'Miami 2 Ibiza' will literally drill into your brain and you'll find youself singing along to this little treat in no time at all. The constant pounding rhythm is enough to get even the squarest of squares hooked, especially once you've heard it out in a club after a few drinks.


In essence, this could be classed as a perfect club song, just listening to a mere snippet of this brilliance will have images of lights flashing, music thumping, drink downing and move busting joy exploding in front of your eyes. The tempo picks up for the chorus and smashes into an all out anthem sound, with synths and claps galore.


Entering into the second verse, the vocals drop down into base level which the crowds will go wild for, and gives the track a different vibe from most other recent club bangers. As the chorus continues the vocals gradually return to normal. Tempah's vocals don't sound as unique as we've become accustomed to although lyrically the track is just as good.


It would seem that anyone who could resist this track must be dead inside, or old, as this is a proper anthem that'll be stomping through clubs up and down the country for the foreseeable future. From Tinie Tempah, we now expect nothing less and he could soon be adding another #1 to his collection.
