In both the Singles and Album charts this week the number 2 position has knocked off the previous owner of the number 1 spot. Kid Rock with 'All Summer Long' has moved up to the top of the Singles Chart to prevent a 5 week Dizzee Rascal reign and Coldplay move back comfortably to number 1 on the album chart. Passing my music radar and entering the singles chart this week is Honey Ryder- Numb, which has made it into the chart at Number 32!
This week I bring you...
Song Of The Week:
The Saturdays- If This Is Love
www.myspace.com/thesaturdays
Pop
A new wave of pop bands is arriving on the scene. Aiming to be at the front of this scene are new stylish and sexy girl group The Saturdays. Consisting of two girls from former Sclub Juniors (Frankie and Rochelle), along with Mollie, Una and Vanessa they bring 80's pop song 'If This Is Love' as their debut single. The song which hit number 7 in the singles chart this week, cleverly showcases each of the girls' singing talents in the verses, along with a much needed catchy chorus. Young teenagers will particularly be looking to hook onto their music first. As their popularity grows, this song could have a chance at moving a couple more places up the chart.

New Artist:
Sam Beeton

Pop/Indie
Samuel J. Beeton is a singer/songwriter with a distinctive voice that suggests someone older and further Western than this 19 year old from Nottingham. In his happy-go-lucky tunes an influence of Bob Dylan can be heard from his country-rock vocals and jangling acoustic approach. Easy on the ears and proving to be radio friendly, Jo Whiley on Radio 1 has chosen 'What You Look For' by Sam as her Pet Sound for this week. Fans of Paolo Nutini and James Morrison will be pleased with what Sam has to bring to the music scene, with a debut album due for release on 8th September through RCA records. Sam Beeton can soon be seen playing live at the V Festival on 16th and 17th August.
Here is a live acoustic performance of Sam performing 'Trouble And Strife' earlier this year:
