Banging out today's UK chart post super-quick while on a flight layover at the Cincinnati airport. So hoo-ray for Brit Award favorite Ellie Goulding and her #4 debut with "Starry Eyed." Congrats also to Sugababes for snagging their third Top 10 hit in a row with the rather ho-hum "Wear My Kiss" (#7). Maybe there's some life in the 'babes brand yet?It would have been nice to see Alphabeat debut higher than #29 with "Hole In My Heart," but what can you do? At least they have that classy opening slot on the UK leg of Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour. "Hole In My Heart" follows the band's #20 entry last year for "The Spell."
Anyway, Ellie and Alphabeat:
I really gotta get that effing Alphabeat album at this point already. Anyway, up, up and away...
