French production duo Modjo continued the Gallic invasion of the U.K. charts yesterday (Sept. 10) when its Sound Of Barclay/Polydor single "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" went straight to No. 1 on the new U.K. singles chart. The track, one of the big hits of the Ibiza club season, replaces A1's Columbia cover of a-ha's "Take On Me" at the top and follows cross-Channel French success in recent times for Air, Daft Punk, Stardust, and Bob Sinclar.
In an all-new top three, Sonique's "Sky," the Serious/Universal follow-up to her early June No. 1 hit "It Feels So Good," arrived at No. 2, and Wyclef Jean's "It Doesn't Matter" (Columbia) at No. 3. Planet Perfecto's "Bullet In The Gun 2000," a remix of the group's No. 15 hit from last November, entered at No. 7, while 'N Sync's "It's Gonna Be Me" (Jive) opened at No. 9, and "1234 Get With The Wicked" by TV presenter-turned-rapper Richard Blackwood (EastWest) bowed at No. 10.
Robbie Williams' "Sing When You're Winning" (Chrysalis) started a second week in control of the U.K. album chart, on which the highest new entry also bears the Chrysalis logo: Spandau Ballet's "Gold: The Best Of," which debuted at No. 8.
In contrast with the U.K. charts, the top four on Music & Media's Eurochart Hot 100 Singles tally were unchanged, with Madonna's "Music" (Maverick/Warner Bros.) in its second week on top, ahead of releases by Britney Spears, Melanie C, and Eminem. ATC's "Around The World" (Intro/EMI) climbed 9-5 and Bon Jovi's "Say It Isn't So" (Mercury) earned Sales Breaker honors with a spectacular 94-29 climb.
The Coors' "In Blue" (143/Lava/Atlantic) spent a seventh straight week at the peak of the European Top 100 Albums chart, but Williams' "Sing When You're Winning" is shaping up as a strong new rival, debuting at No. 2. Craig David's "Born To Do It" (Wildstar/Edel) climbed 12-4.
