Looks like we’re back in a phase of new entries going straight to number one each week. \u00a0Rihanna’s “Diamonds”<\/a> turns out to have been a bit front-loaded, dropping to 4 in its second week out. \u00a0It’s a grower, though, so perhaps it’ll have a resurgence.<\/p>\n

Before we get to the chart proper – yes, the Rolling Stones did release a new single last week<\/a>, and no, it’s not on the charts (even though it’s surprisingly decent for a Rolling Stones single made after 1980). \u00a0That’s because it’s being offered as an advance download for people pre-ordering their upcoming compilation album, and as such, it’s ineligible for the chart. \u00a0Judging from the iTunes chart, if it had been eligible, it would probably have been somewhere in the 30s.<\/p>\n

On with the chart.<\/p>\n

40. \u00a0Skrillex (feat. Sirah) – “Bangarang”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This has been hovering around the lower end of the chart for ages and never seems to entirely go away.<\/p>\n

37. \u00a0Nicki Minaj – “Starships”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This was covered by Carolynne Poole on the first\u00a0X Factor<\/em> live show. Slightly surprising to see it in the chart, considering she came last. \u00a0Minaj’s current single “Va Va Voom”<\/a> is a non-mover at 20.<\/p>\n

26. \u00a0Disclosure (feat. Sam Smith) – “Latch”<\/strong><\/p>\n
