Dance Music Sets The Beat Of U.K. Charts

Home-grown British club music makes its presence felt in the new U.K. singles chart, published yesterday. While Ronan Keating's "When You Say Nothing At All" spends a second week at No. 1, there are new entries by such dance acts as Basement Jaxx, whose "Rendez-Vu" (XL) debuts at No. 4; Phats & Small, whose "Feel Good" (Multiply) lands at No. 7; and the Chemical Brothers, whose latest collaboration with Noel Gallagher, "Let Forever Be" (Virgin), secures the No. 9 slot.

In addition, Scottish indie-rock band Travis, whose second Independiente album, "The Man Who," has now sold some 200,000 copies in the U.K,. scores its first top 10 single with "Why Does It Always Rain On Me." The song comes in at No. 10.

With Boyzone's Polydor compilation "By Request" atop the U.K. album chart for the ninth time in ten weeks, the highest new entry goes to Elvis Costello. His "Very Best Of" album, on Universal Music TV, debuts at No. 4, bolstered by a TV advertising campaign and interest in his recent top 20 single "She." It's Costello's highest placing since "Brutal Youth" went to No. 2 in 1994.

Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5" (Lautstark/BMG) remains at No. 1 on Music & Media's Eurochart Hot 100 Singles for the week of Aug. 14. Eiffel 65's "Blue" (Bliss Co.) wins this week's Sales Breaker honor, jumping four spots to No. 2.

"Ricky Martin" (Columbia) stays on top of European Top 100 Albums, with Bega's "A Little Bit Of Mambo" vaulting 16-7 to win that chart's Sales Breaker award.
