Thank God Robyn's In The U.K. Chart So Beyoncé Isn't The Only Name In This Headline

Beyoncé lands her fourth U.K. solo #1 in the U.K. this week with "If I Were A Boy," but technically you'd have to go back nearly five-and-a-half years to "Crazy In Love" (July 2003) to find one that didn't feature another artist. UPDATE: Thanks to readers Greg and Arlen for both pointing out that "Crazy In Love" did indeed feature Jay-Z. Sorry, Hova!

The B last topped the Brit chart in April 2007 with her Shakira duet "Beautiful Liar." Before that it was August 2006 with (the godawful) "Deja Vu" featuring Jay-Z.

I do wish The Killers had made it to #1 instead, though, with "Human." At least they move up one to #3. Still, they deserve it after their home country woefully overlooked this groovy single and "Spaceman." Oh, sigh.

That said, Beyoncé's LP I Am...Sasha Fierce doesn't fair so well, and only manages to enter the British album chart at #10.

Moving on to Girls Aloud, the Xenomania-produced, Pet Shop Boys-written "The Loving Kind" has been announced as the their second single off Out Of Control. It's set to be officially released in mid-January.

Waaaaay down at #29, Christian Falk and Robyn's "Dream On" debuts. That gives pixie-haired Swedish single her third U.K. Top 40 hit this year, and fifth overall from her last album. Once again, it'll be great to finally get some new music from her.

On a final note, things should get interesting this coming week with the release of Take That's "Greatest Day" and "We R One" from Same Difference. Hopefully those two singles act as a pop-infused ice pick and break up the Top 10 a bit...or at least bury themselves in Beyoncé's forehead.

Put a ring on it, y'all.
