Shayne riding high in UK charts
X Factor winner Shayne Ward’s exceptional start to his music career continued today with his debut single topping the charts for a third week.
The 21-year-old’s release That’s My Goal, flew into the number one slot just four days after going on sale in December.
CDs were rushed into production immediately after Shayne was proclaimed the winner of the ITV reality show.
His success means that previously-unknown folk-pop duo Nizlopi are stuck at number two with their JCB Song.
While Madonna’s single Hung Up, which samples Abba’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, remains in third spot.
George Best – A Tribute by Brian Kennedy and Peter Corry jumps seven places to number four while Eminem slips one to five with When I’m Gone.
The Black Eyed Peas with My Humps climb one to six and the Sugababes with Ugly also jump one place to number seven.
Next are the Pussycat Dolls who fall two places with Stickwitu followed by James Blunt with Goodbye My Lover which is stuck at number nine.
In tenth place is a new entry from the Editors with Munich.
In the album charts the new CD from the Strokes, First Impressions of Earth, debuts at number one.
Blunt’s hit album of 2005 Back to Bedlam remains in second place while the Kaiser Chiefs’ release Employment jumps four to third spot.
