UK Midweeks 17th May

[Josh-JB]

Oasis are set to be number one this weekend with Lyla outselling Akon by three to one.

Akon looks set to slide one place down to two and the Black Eyed Peas look set to have a top 3 entry with Don't Phunk With My Heart.

01 Oasis - Lyla
02 Akon - Lonely
03 Black Eyed Peas - Don't Phunk With My Heart
06 Kaiser Chiefs - Everyday I Love You Less and Less

In the top 20:

Javine - Touch My Fire
Jennifer Lopez feat. Fat Joe - Hold You Down
Max Graham vs Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart
Mylo - In My Arms
Rob Thomas - Lonely No More

--------------------------------------

That seems like bad news for J. Lo and Rob Thomas, I expected Rob Thomas at least to be in the Top 10! As for Javine, I'm hardly surprised, since she seems cursed ever since she followed up her debut...

10 Rob Thomas - Lonely No More

J-Lo is fairing much better than I had expected; but looks as though she'll loose out with a distinct lack of downloads, though. Following up a #1 with only a #10 still is not great, when "Rebirth" hasn't really sold much.

Cheers for that. I hope Rob Thomas can push J-Lo out of the top 10. She really doesn't deserve it because the song is just so bad. I haven't met a single person who likes that song.

What's the highest a Matchbox Twenty single reached on the singles chart? I know it isn't very good since they aren't well known in the UK. I'm thinking Disease from their last album debuted in the 30s?

The highest charting Matchbox Twenty single is "Push" which hit #38. "Smooth" with Santana went to #3.

Thanks. A #11 debut would certainly be an improvement then for Rob.
