UK Music Charts – Jan. 10 – Iyaz and Paolo Nutini

The UK music charts may mean less now than they used to but they’re still an indicator of what’s hot on the popular British music scene right now. This week’s Top 10 singles and Top 10 albums are listed below.

Iyaz has come from nowhere to take the top spot on this week’s singles chart with his debut release, Replay. Iyaz narrowly beat Sidney Samson ft. Wizard Sleeve with Riverside (Let’s Go) which entered straight in at number two. Florence and The Machine and The Saturdays both climbed, while Joe McElderry and Cheryl Cole both dropped out of the top ten as the X Factor factor finally fizzles out.

In what is rapidly becoming one of the greatest mysteries the world has ever seen, Paolo Nutini has retained the top spot on the albums chart with his absolutely dreadful second album Sunny Side Up. Seriously, who is buying this dross? Big climbers include Florence and The Machine and Mumford and Sons, while Elvis Presley jumped from 135 to number eight with compilation album, Elvis 75.
