2010 CHART REWIND. Time flies and exactly one year ago, English indie pop band Scouting for Girls ruled the radio in its native country with “This Ain’t a Love Song.” It was the first single off the sophomore album Everybody Wants to Be on TV, which was followed by another three – “Famous,” “Don’t Want to Leave You” and “Take a Chance.”

Don’t be surprised if Shakira will celebrate her one year anniversary on the Swedish singles tally with “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).” Featuring the South African afro-fusion band Freshlyground, the single initially charted on May.21st last year at No.18. Facing an initially struggle, the track finally cracked the top ten in June. As WelcheMusic dutifully reported, “Waka Waka” finally ascended to the top last August. It finally dropped out of the top ten in December after a half year (!).

Exactly one year has passed since Tinie Tempah vaulted into the top of the UK singles chart with “Pass Out.” The British rapper included singer Labrinth on his debut hit, who also joined him on the follow-up track “Frisky.”

Katy Perry racked up almost 70,000 plays on UK radio attracting an audience of 1.39bn Brits.
