UK CHART TIME! The guys at Roll Deep kick Diana Vickers off the top spot with a new entry, Good Times, and Once slips to #4. Plan B rises to #3 with She Said, and Usher is a non-mover at #2 with OMG. Alexandra Burke enters the chart at #34 with All Night Long, and its video has reportedly been banned from MTV.

On the albums chart, Plan B is looking good at #1, preventing Usher to make a top debut for Raymond V Raymond. The Glee cast also makes their debut at #4 with The Power of Madonna, and Bullet for My Valentine follows with Fever.

Here is your top ten this week:

1. (new) Good Times by Roll Deep
2. (• 2) OMG by Usher
3. (+ 4) She Said by Plan B
4. (- 1) Once by Diana Vickers
5. (- 3) Until You Were Gone by Chipmunk feat. Esmée Denters
6. (• 6) I Need You Tonight by Professor Green feat. Ed Drewett
7. (- 2) This Ain't A Love Song by Scouting For Girls
8. (• 8) Carry Out by Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake
9. (- 7) Acapella by Kelis
10. (+ 12) Dirty Picture by Taio Cruz feat. Ke$ha

It's the UK MIDWEEKS! Diana Vickers told Digital Spy she'd be #1 next week, but things aren't looking bright as Once slips down two spots, behind Usher's OMG and a new entry from Roll Deep, Good Times, which is at the tip of the pyramid. Plan B remains strong at #4, while Chip and Esmée slip down two spots to #5. In the albums, however, Usher is set for a #1 UK debut with Raymond VS Raymond, with Plan B's The Defamation of Strickland Banks and Glee's The Power of Madonna trailing behind.

In other news, the gang from Cobra Starship premiered their self-proclaimed "viral video", called Living in the Sky With Diamonds, which is actually pretty good. Check it out here.

Oh, and take a gander at the Alphabeat single sleeve for DJ (I Could Be Dancing), to be released on May 31st. Here's the video for it as well. (It looks amazing, btw)


That's all.

The lovely little popstrel from 2008's The X Factor stormed the UK singles charts with debut single Once, knocking off Usher's OMG from the #1 spot. If you remember (probably not), Diana Vickers' Once was our song of the day way back in March 21, and since then I've expressed my anticipation of Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree, the album due out on May 3rd. Based on the sampler that has been going around the web, this is going to be one album worth the wait. The possibility of BOTH Once and Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree taking over the singles and albums charts isn't a long shot, so we'll see that in a couple of weeks.

Another song I'm quite fond of is Chip 'n Esmée's Until You Were Gone, which settled at #3 on the UK charts, being #2 during the midweeks, making it the 4th track from I Am Chipmunk to break the top ten. A very peculiar re-entry is legend Tina Turner's The Best, which dates way way way back to 1989, thanks to a campaign by the Rangers FC to get her to #1.

Here is the official top ten as of April 25:
1. (new) Once by Diana Vickers
2. (- 1) OMG by Usher feat. Will.I.Am.
3. (new) Until You Were Gone by Chipmunk feat. Esmée Denters
4. (• 4) She Said by Plan B
5. (- 2) This Ain't A Love Song by Scouting For Girls
6. (- 3) I Need You Tonight by Professor Green feat. Ed Drewett
7. (- 5) Acapella by Keils
8. (• 8) Carry Out by Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake
9. (new) The Best by Tina Turner
10. (- 7) Naturally by Selena Gomez & The Scene
