Timbaland knocks Rihanna off the top spot
US super-producer-cum-solo star Timbaland has knocked Rihanna's 'Umbrella' off the top of the UK singles chart with his single, 'The Way I Are'
The single, which debuted in the charts last Sunday at Number Four, prevented Rihanna from registering an eleventh week at the top.
This week's NME cover star Kate Nash saw her single 'Foundations' leapfrog 'Umbrella' into the Number Two slot.
A notable new entry in today's chart includes the Manic Street Preachers at Number Ten with 'Autumnsong'.
Arctic Monkeys, currently busy playing the second of two huge shows at the Lancashire Country Cricket Ground, saw their single 'Fluorescent Adolescent' drop from Number Five to Number Fourteen.
Jack Penate, who appears on this week's NME cover alongside Kate Nash, saw his single 'Torn On The Platform' fall from Number 17 to Number 24. 'Had Enough' by The Enemy fell from 20 to 37.
Today's new album chart saw reality TV star Paul Potts retain the Nmber One slot with his debut album, 'One Chance' Timbaland's 'Shock value' album rose two places to Number Two.
Kings of Leon also registered a rise in the charts, with their third album, 'Because Of The Times' rising from Number Seven to Number Four following a storming performance at the Benicassim festival in Spain, watched by many Brits. |
Last.fm Creates ?User Generated? Club With Ninja Tune
Social music network Last.fm has teamed up with seminal label Ninja Tune to create a groundbreaking 'user-generated? club night at The Big Chill House on Pentonville Road on June 2nd.
All Last.fm users going to the party will help decide the setlist for the upstairs room, DJed by Ninja Tune?s Sparky. They?ll register their intention to attend at the club?s event page on the Last.fm website, and on the night Sparky will play tracks drawn from music listened to by those users in the preceding weeks.
Last.fm is a social music network that tracks what you listen to on your PC and iPod and then plays you new music that suits your taste, based on recommendations drawn from the listening habits of over 20 million active users.
This party is the first time that Last.fm has taken its 'collaborative filtering? ethos out into the real world. Sparky?s user-generated set will also be recorded and made available on Last.fm for users unable to attend.
Last.fm is also extremely chuffed that the youngest DMC World Champion to date and celebrated member of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, the one and only A-Trak will be gracing the downstairs decks. Joining him is ingenious prodigy MC Kid Sister.And if that wasn?t enough, Ninja Tune managed to get the hottest beatboxer of the moment to do a very special set of itches, scratches, and a lot of beard-inspired utterances into the mic. Behold the genious of Beardyman!
Furthermore, Ninja Tune will bring their very own Mr Herbaliser Ollie Teeba along to entice the dancing crowds. And last but by no earthly measures least, the striped-jumper-wearing godfather of warm and soulful sounds, London?s very own Ross Allen will also be heating up the dance floor. |
