The Wanted Lost Their Minds in 2010

2010 CHART REWIND. It all looked very promising as WelcheMusic cheered The Wanted’s chart career. “All Time Low” crushed all competition and landed the No.1 spot in a beat, while “Heart Vacancy” bowed at No.2. The UK welcomed the latest boy band with open arms. Something happened, however, when the third single was released. Despite performing their last hit single “Lose My Mind” on The X Factor, the song entered at No.29 – an all time low for the band. This week it moves 29-19. In Ireland, the single peaked at No.43.

WelcheMusic is still impressed with the lineup of producers for this track. Rami’s discography includes Backstreet Boys’ “Shape of My Heart,” Britney Spears’s “…Baby One More Time” and *NSync’s “It’s Gonna Be Me.” Carl Falk has worked with Glee’s Matthew Morrison and Westlife while The Wideboys remixed tracks for Enrique Iglesias, Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry.

WelcheMusic still thinks that The Wanted makes excellent poppy tunes and knows that there are plenty of tracks off the debut album deserving to become pop singles.

UPDATE 02-05: The Wanted will launch the 2011 Comic Relief single – bound for a No.1 position.

Susan Boyle’s Back on the Top

Susan Boyle manages to sell 103,000 copies of The Gift in its first week pushing last week’s No.1 – Cheryl Cole’s Messy Little Raindrops – to No.3. The first week sales still fall short of last year’s I Dreamed a Dream, which sold 412,000 copies in its first week. The debut album went on to become the biggest selling album of the year, despite being released in November according to Billboard. Produced by boy band producer Steve Mac, no single has been lifted off the album for promotion.

Boyle recently paid a visit to Oprah Winfrey’s talkshow, where she performed “Don’t Dream It’s Over.” Despite getting her breakthrough on Britain’s Got Talent, her debut album earned Boyle worldwide sales thanks to the viral YouTube success.

Cheryl Cole’s “Promise This” Hits the Dancefloor with Remixes

CHART SPOTLIGHT. Spotify UK offers no less than nine remixes of Cheryl Cole’s latest hit single “Promise This.” Released on Oct.25, the track has already managed to top the UK singles chart. It sold 157,000 copies in its first week, which is the biggest selling record for a non-charity single.

Digital Dog, Almighty and Jorg Schmid are among the producers who remixed the “Promise This.” The Jorg Schmid remix is available on the Clubland 18 compilation album.

“Promise This” is written by the singer Priscilla Renea Hamilton who failed to garner any success with her own album Jukebox from December 2009.Producer Wayne Wilkins has previously worked on tracks with Keri Hilson, Leona Lewis, Beyoncé and Jordin Sparks.

“Parachute” was the final track to be issued off the 3 Words album. The song reached No.5 in the UK, peaking at No.2 in Poland and topped the Romanian chart tally this March. Cole also made the headlines the other week as she and X-Factor colleague Dannii Minogue snubbed Jamiroquai singer Jay K following a foul-mouthed rant before the group performed on the show. Let’s see if Cheryl Cole returns to Skavlan to promote her new album.

WelcheMusic update: “Promise This” never charted in Sweden as it was only released as a promo single back in October. It reached No.19 on the Belgium singles chart.

Rihanna Knocks Cheryl Cole Off the Top After Sole Week

CHART SPOTLIGHT. According to Music Week, Rihanna manages to reach No.1 for the fourth straight year as “Only Girl (In the World)” denies Cheryl Cole a second week atop the UK singles tally. Rihanna’s chart run started in 2007 when “Umbrella” topped the chart and was followed by “Take a Bow” (2008) and “Run this Town” (2009).

It’s the first time the top four singles are performed by women. Cheryl Cole drops 1-2 with “Promise This,” Alexis Jordan debuts at No.3 with “Happiness” and Katy Perry climbs 6-4 with “Firework.” Jordan was an “America’s Got Talent” graduate and “Happiness” has already topped the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart.

Cheryl Cole’s drop prevents the singer from occupying the top slots on both the singles and album chart in the same week. Her new album Messy Little Raindrops becomes Cole’s second chart-topping album.

The X-Factor effect is obvious as Shakespear’s Sisters’ 1992 hit “Stay” vaults 64-12, following a performance on the show. Recently Adele’s rendition of “Make You Feel My Love” raced the charts after X-Factor re-activation.
