James Blunt Does The Chart Double Again

James Blunt has held on to the albums and singles top spot for a second week.

The insipid singer-songwriter is still number one in the UK with ‘You’re Beautiful’ and his album ‘Back To Bedlam’. 

In the album chart he even managed to fend off Michael Jackson’s money-making greatest hits compilation ‘The Greatest’. The only other new entry in the top ten was American Pop Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.

The highest new entry in the singles chart was Lee Ryan with ‘Army of Lovers’ while Paul ‘The Modfather’ Weller reached number 6 with ‘From The Floorboards Up’.

Mercury Music Prize nominated Maximo Park and Bloc Party entered the top twenty with ‘Going Missing’ and ‘The Pioneers’ respectively.

The top ten singles are as follows:

1 James Blunt - You're Beautiful
2 Mariah Carey - We Belong Together
3 Lee Ryan - Army Of Lovers
4 Tupac feat Elton John - Ghetto Gospel
5 Daddy Yankee - Gasolina
6 Paul Weller - From The Floorboards Up
7 Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
8 Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick
9 MVP - Rock Ya Body
10 Axel F - Crazy Frog
