Singles:
The singles sector remains buoyant, with sales down just 1.29% week-on-week to 2,708,023 – 2009’s third biggest weekly tally.
There’s a charity handover at the top, with The X Factor Finalists’ You Are Not Alone (in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital) dipping 1-2 (82,869 sales), while Peter Kay’s Animated All Stars rocket 18-1 with their Official BBC Children In Need Medley.
The latter track sold 138,123 copies last week, extending the run of six-figure sales at the top to eight weeks – a 21st century record. It’s the fifth number one to benefit Children In Need, and covers Can You Feel It (The Jacksons), Don’t Stop (Fleetwood Mac) Jai Ho! (AR Rahman & Pussycat Dolls), Tubthumping (Chumbawamba), Never Forget (Take That), One Day Like This (Elbow) and Hey Jude (The Beatles).
It’s the 34th number one hit to bear a songwriting credit for both John Lennon and Paul McCartney, more than twice as many as their nearest challenger, who is, incredibly, Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm (13 number ones). The Fron Male Vocal Choir’s album (see above) also includes a version of Hey Jude, and becomes the fourth album with a Beatles cover to enter the Top 75 debut in as many weeks following the current albums by The Soldiers, Harry Connick Jr and Boyz II Men.
Jason DeRulo’s debut hit, Whatcha Say, remains at number three with sales sliding 19.3% to 53,854, while Black Eyed Peas’ Meet Me Halfway falls 2-4 on sales of 52,900 and Lady GaGa’s Bad Romance jumps 8-5 on sales of 46,600.
The track is the fifth single from GaGa’s debut album Fame, though it appears only on the newly revised Fame Monster edition, which also spawns its sixth, seventh and eighth Top 75 entries in the form of Telephone (number 30, 10,323 sales), Monster (number 68, 3,584 sales) and Alejandro (number 75, 3,251 sales).
With singles chart entries also this week for Rihanna and Susan Boyle (two each) and Mariah Carey, female solo artists account for eight of this week’s nine Top 75 debuts, their unique 100% sweep being prevented only by Mike’a Rain, which debuts at number 72 (3,319 sales).
As well as the re-emergence of Obsessed and the debut of new single I Want To Know What Love Is (see album chart analysis), Mariah Carey returns to the list with All I Want For Christmas Is You.
This hardy annual is the first seasonal song to make the chart this year, debuting at number 51 (5,592 sales), though it is closely pursued by The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl’s Fairytale Of New York (number 58, 4,607 sales). Both tracks debuted a fortnight earlier last year, and year-on-year their impact is in decline for the third year in a row.

Albums:
Susan Boyle creates chart history this week, storming to number one with her debut album I Dreamed A Dream on sales of 411,820.
The 48-year-old Glaswegian thus shatters the previous record for highest first-week sales for a debut album, set in 2007 by Leona Lewis’ Spirit, which opened with sales of 375,872.
Boyle’s album sold more copies last week than any album has managed in that timeframe since Take That’s The Circus shifted 432,490 copies 51 weeks ago. Boyle also shatters the record for sales of any album in any week by any female solo artist – topping the 400,351 copies that Dido’s Life For Rent sold in week ending 4 October 2003.
I Dreamed A Dream also spins off two hit singles. The title track, which caused a sensation during her Britain’s Got Talent audition, debuts at number 37 (8,480 sales), while Boyle’s version of Mick Jagger and Keith Richard’s Wild Horses, a song off their 1971 album Sticky Fingers, debuts at number nine (28,571 sales).
Boyle’’s is the 12th number one album released on Simon Cowell’s Sony imprint Syco since its 2004 launch. The label has sold 11,263,548 albums since then. On a cautionary note, Boyle is the second act from Britain’s Got Talent to have a number one. The first, Paul Potts, was also signed to Syco, and sold 551,955 copies of his 2007 debut album – but his second, Passione, has sold just 42,348 copies since its launch 24 weeks ago, making it the Syco imprint’s lowest selling regular release.
Boyle’s fellow Syco act Leona Lewis’ second album, Echo slides 1-5 (74,885 sales), while JLS’ self-titled debut album holds at number two on sales of 108,863 copies.
Meanwhile, finally reaping the benefits after spinning off three number one singles, Black Eyed Peas’ latest album, The E.N.D., turns in a ninth straight week of increased sales, jumping 16.5% week-on-week to 78,191. The album – which jumps 5-3 to equal its previous highest chart position - has sold 542,672 copies since its release 24 weeks ago, and is certain to be BEP’s third straight million seller.
Lady GaGa’s The Fame rockets 55-7 (61,892 sales), the majority (94.4%) of which comes from the new 2 CD edition, The Fame Monster. Absent from the Top 10 for 14 weeks, The Fame is also heading towards the million mark, with a 46 week tally of 870,616 sales.
Elsewhere in the album chart, there are Top 40 debuts for new albums from Rihanna, Chris Moyles, Mariah Carey, The Priests and Fron Male Voice Choir, and compilations from Janet Jackson, UB40, Britney Spears and Enya.
Rihanna’s last album, Good Girl Gone Bad, debuted at number one in June 2007 on sales of 53,772 copies. New album Rated R, opens fairly quietly at number 16 (32,243 sales), while introductory single, Russian Roulette, debuts at number six (39,699 sales), becoming the Barbadian’s 16th hit.
Mariah Carey also makes a double debut, with new album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel debuting at number 23 (26,552 sales) and latest single, I Want To Know What Love Is – a Foreigner cover that she performed on The X Factor results show eight days ago – debuting at number 19 (14,909 sales), and becoming her 40th Top 75 single. Carey’s last album E=MC2 opened at number three in April 2008, on sales of 34,769 copies. Obsessed – the first single from Carey’s new album, peaked at a lowly number 52 but jumps 190-62 this week (4,351 sales).
Wales is punching above its weight, with albums from The Stereophonics, Shirley Bassey and two from Katherine Jenkins joined in the chart this week by the latest from Fron Male Voice Choir, whose Voices Of The Valley: Memory Lane debuts this week at number 31 (18,298 sales).
It’s the fourth year in a row that the choir, from the tiny village of Froncysyllte, have had a Top 40 album with a Voices Of The Valley set – but the trend is down, with each year’s album peaking lower and selling fewer copies than its predecessors. Nevertheless, the new set brings up the act’s millionth sale.
Meanwhile, a year to the week after their self-titled debut set reached number five on sales of 69,087 copies, Ireland’s wholly holy trio, The Priests, debut at number 18 with follow-up, Harmony (30,530 sales).
Take That’s new concert album The Circus Live makes its CD debut today (30th) but came out on DVD last week, surging to first week sales of 181,979 – the highest ever for a music video. It is number four on the overall video chart where Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs debuts at the summit on sales of 660,376.
Despite all including new material, new compilations from Janet Jackson, UB40 and Britney Spears all fall short of the Top 20. Jackson’s The Best is number 28 (19,357 sales), followed by UB40’s Best Of Labour Of Love (number 30, 18,597 sales), and Spears’ Singles Collection (number 38, 15,460 sales). The Very Best Of Enya, comprising only previously released material, debuts at number 32 (17,882 sales).
On the compilation chart, the big new arrival is Now That’s What I Call Music! 74, which debuts at number one on sales of 289,231 copies. The album, which includes 11 number one singles, thus outperforms 2008 equivalent Now! 71, which opened a year ago last week on sales of 240,382, falls short of one of the 25 year old series’ previous 2009 offerings, Now! 72 (first week sales: 299,002) while beating the other, Now! 73 (274,661).
Album sales improved 30.9% week-on-week to 4,289,993 sales – their highest level in 2009 but 6.6% below same week 2008 sales of 4,499,588.
