I’ve discovered the great new track ’Bom Bom,’ which debuted atop UK singles track last week. The British group Sam and the Womp consists of eight members. They blend ska, Jamaican and Balkan music with electronic and dance. Simply creating the biggest novelty hit this side of summer. Check out the infographics below to see how interest for the band has surged throughout the summer.

The single sold 107,461 copies in the first week according to Music Week. An upcoming studio album is expected next year.

Unfortunately, it seems as if Little Mix will knock Sam and the Womp off the top spot with ‘Wings.’ Little Mix own X Factor 2011 in the UK and have already had a chart topper with ‘Cannonball.’

TheX Factor winners Little Mix will need to sell a lot of copies of ‘Cannonball’ during the upcoming week to retain the top spot and become this year’s Christmas No.1. Usually, the winners’ debut singles are released on the week of the coveted Christmas number-one battle, but this year plans changed. Matt Cradle managed this feat with “When We Collide.”

One of my first blog entries back in 2009 highlighted that Joe McElderry was denied his No.1 single due to a Facebook campaign. Instead, Rage Against The Machine’s 1992 hit ‘Killing in the Name of’ topped the yuletide singles chart.

Comprising of members Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, Little Mix’s chart topping track in question is a cover of Damien Rice’s 2002 hit single ‘Cannonball.’ The track has charted in different versions, peaking at No.9 earlier this year.
