Well, this is going to be easy.

In a week with virtually no significant new releases – as in, the highest new entry was at number 20 – the number 1 slot is once again traded between records that have been on the chart a while.  This week, it’s “We No Speak Americano” by Yolanda Be Cool & D-Cup.

And I already wrote about that single at great length two weeks ago.  So hop over to that post and scroll down a bit.

There are five other new entries on this week’s chart, and they’re a distinctly motley collection.

• Number 20 is “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” by Usher featuring Pitbull. No official video for this one, as far as I can see.  It’s the lead single from Usher’s “Versus” EP, and it’s, you know, radio-friendly.  Usher’s 16th top 40 hit, and the seventh in only two years for serial collaborator Pitbull.
• “Saturday” by Basshunter at number 21.  A seventh hit for the extremely irritating Swedish techno act.  This actually represents something of a change of direction, as by his standards, it’s downright nuanced.  By anyone else’s standards, it’s routine Europop.  I query the video director’s decision to spend quite so long pointing the camera at Basshunter, who evidently thinks he’s quite sexy.

• “Witchcraft” by Pendulum at number 28.  Fifth hit for the Australian rock/rave hybrid band.  They’re getting into a bit of a rut, I think.  I’m tempted to say that all Pendulum singles sound alike, but that wouldn’t be quite fair – the dance instrumental “Slam” (no 34 in 2005) was a bit different…

• “The Boy Who Murdered Love” by Diana Vickers at number 36.  Follow-up single to her number one debut “Once” from earlier in the year.  But this’ll be the early promotion of a follow-up single, so it’ll probably climb.  It’s a bit of a grower, actually.
• “Famous” by Scouting for Girls at number 37.  Scouting for Girls have noticed that it’s possible to get on TV without having any talent, and they’ve written a little ditty to express wry amusement about it.  Fearlessly surfing the zeitgeist of 2005 there.  Their seventh hit, and while it’s likely to climb, I don’t see it matching the number 1 peak of the last single “This Ain’t A Love Song”.
