Repeating the success she had in the U.S. with "My Life Would Suck Without You," Kelly Clarkson lands at #1 on the U.K. singles chart with her upbeat lead song off forthcoming album All I Ever Wanted. And that's great, because Kelly has a nice rack and deserves to be #1.
Kelly's been in London all week doing promotion, which could be one reason why she beat fellow American Taylor Swift to the top of the chart. Swift's "Love Story" comes in at #2.This, of course, knocks Lily Allen's "The Fear" off the top spot after four weeks and down to #5. But that's a long enough run, and Lily probably made at least enough money off all those downloads to go buy a gold-plated vibrator. So that's a plus, right?
And speaking of shoving phallic objects up back entrances, Take That are hovering around in the Top 20 this week with "Up All Night." Based on downloads alone ahead of the the single's physical release tomorrow, the second single off The Circus is at #17.Over on the album chart, after re-entering at #19 last week following their triumphant 10-minute Brit Awards medley performance, the Pet Shop Boys' five-year-old PopArt: The Hits climbs one notch higher to #18.
This seems to bode well for the Boys' upcoming 10th studio album Yes, which will be released in three weeks. In the meantime, though at this point it seems it's been out forever, lead single "Love etc." will officially be made available March 16.
