Flo Rida holds off Saturdays’ bid for first number one
Sad news Sats fans …
Rappers Flo Rida and Eminem have prevented UK girl group The Saturdays scoring their first number one single.
Mid-week figures had put the group ahead with Missing You, but they had to settle for third spot.
Flo Rida ft David Guetta’s Club Can’t Handle Me, from the Step Up 3D soundtrack, rose to number one, while Eminem ft Rihanna’s Love the Way You Lie went back up to number two.
Eminem’s album, Recovery, returned to the top of the album charts.
His sixth studio album first reached number one on its release in June, and has remained in the top 10 since.
Last week’s number one album, Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs, slipped to number two in a week in which there were no new releases in the top 40 album charts.
In the singles charts there was only a handful of new releases, including Tinchy Stryder’s In My System at number 10.

The girl group’s Fascination/Geffen-issued single Missing You is around 4,000 sales ahead of Flo Rida featuring David Guetta’s Club Can’t Handle Me at this early point in the week, according to OCC Data. The Saturdays’ current highest chart performance is number two, achieved in 2009 by both Just Can’t Get Enough and Forever Is Over.

‘Ego’ Chart Update
‘Ego’ has entered the Top 30 this week at #30 in the UK Singles Chart. It entered the Top 40 last week at #35. It’s chart run is so far #98 – #51 – #35 – #30.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
‘Ego’ Chart Update
‘Ego’ has sprung into the UK Top 40 this week at #35, 3 weeks prior to release. It’s so far peaked at #18 on UK iTunes but has gone down to #30 due to the ‘Xfactor effect’. There is lots of good promotion planned for the single, which I shall be posting soon. It’s chart run so far is #91 – #52 – #35.
‘Ego’ Chart Update
This week could see the rise of ‘Ego’ on the UK Top 40 Singles Chart. It has been climbing on the UK iTunes for a few weeks, peaking today at #22 giving it a midweek of Top 40 yesterday, and a higher Top 40 placement today. It’s physical release is not til’ 04th January 2010, and the current early sales are down to the video and airplay.
Fingers crossed, for this could be a big hit for the girls!
Chart Update: ‘Wordshaker’ and “Forever Is Over”
The Saturdays second album Wordshaker has entered the UK Album Chart at #9 this week. Midweek sales suggested that the album would be top 5, charting at #5, but a slump in sales have resulted in it’s #9 position. However, big congratulations to The Sats on their second top 10 album :). A vast improvement on their first album, Chasing Lights.
In other news, “Forever Is Over” has fallen a understandable 6 places to #8 this week in the UK Singles Chart, mostly due to the new releases this week from Alexandra Burke and Robbie Williams. Could The Sats next (supposedly, rumoured) single “Ego” give them their first #1?
