Kings Of Leon rule the music charts this week, staying for a second week at the top of the singles chart with 'Sex On Fire' (NMU 19/8/08) and match it in the album chart with the release of their excellent fourth album 'Only By The Night'. New singles 'You Make It Real' by James Morrison and 'Girls' by Sugababes are the highest new entries in the singles chart at position 7 and 8 respectively. Kanye West's surprise single release 'Love Lockdown' goes in at number 16 on downloads alone and is sure to climb higher.
Rihanna refusing to leave the album chart moves a place higher to number 2, whilst Pussycat Dolls, Bette Midler, McFly and David Gilmour all make a new entry in the top 10.
This week I bring you...
Song Of The Week
Guru Josh Project- Infinity 2008www.myspace.com/gurujoshproject
Electro/House/Techno
First previewd by Pete Tong on Radio 1, this is the next club stomper to take over the club scene. Infinity was originally released in 1990 and became a worldwide smash and now in remix form is once again hitting the dance top 5 in home turf Germany. This may not be a big sing along tune like other successfull dance tunes i.e. 'Love Don't Let Me Go'- David Guetta vs. The Egg, but it's in the pulsating synths and heavy beats that this song finds its greatness. Similar synths can be found on other songs but are used far more effectively here with a choppy rhythmic effect. Horns throughout help keep a euphoric feel as if you are having the time of your life in Ibiza. The usual convention of dance videos has been taken on here with a sexy girl dancing around intertwined with various clips from a recent DJ headline slot from Guru Josh Project at a huge venue. Infinity 2008 is sure to reach the top 10 here in the UK and is released on 27th October.
New Artist
Ava Leigh

Reggae/Ska/Pop
Here to bring something fresh, new and exciting to the music scene is Ava Leigh. Ava Leighis a blonde bombshell from Chester specialising in the genre of reggae. First heard on the 'Next' Summer catologue advert last year, she sang a delightful cover of 'Mas Que Nada'. Then later came debut single 'Mad About The Boy' in September 2007 about confusion with a love interest, which unfortunately failed to set the charts alight. Now back for another attack on the charts, she brings her next single 'La La La'. Steel drums keep a carribean theme and a steady bass guitar keeps the pace laid back yet fluid, whilst Ava's strong voice rolls and holds notes well. True to the genre the video is set in a typical jamaican village with sepia colour insinuating the tropical weather and urban city feel. 'La La La' is out through Virgin Records on 27th October.
