Chart Chat UK: Oct 18, 2009

Oh how the mighty have fallen.  Robbie Williams' BIG COMEBACK TUNE, as well as being a bit shit, clocks up not-so-big numbers and has to settle for the number 2 spot this week.  In the end it's not  much of a surprise, though, because anytime you're up against a reality competition show winner you're probably going to lose.  That's right, last year's X-Factor champ Alexandra Burke easily claims the number 1 position with her new single 'Bad Boys.'  That pushes last week's chart topper Chipmunk down to 3 with 'Oopsy Daisy,' as Taio Cruz and Jay-Z round out the top 5.  The only other entry in the top 10 is a somewhat surprising placing for Michael Bublé, whose 'Haven't Met You Yet' slides in at 9 and becomes his first top ten in this country.  At 14 we have Whitney Houston sliding back after 'Million Dollar Bill' debuted at 12 last week.  Don't fret though, Whitney fans, as tonight's X-Factor performance is sure to catapult the track into the upper reaches of the chart.  Everything else on the chart is a bit boring to be honest, with top 20 debuts for Lostprophets and Mr. Hudson, an underwhelming Editors track at 23, and in what is fast becoming our least favorite thing to say, ANOTHER Black Eyed Peas song debuts, down at 26.

1 - Alexandra Burke: Bad Boys
