    SINGLES James Blunt 51,671 Daniel Powter 22,409 Eminem 16,434 Bananarama 7,571 Tony Christie 4,579 Madness 2,845 ALBUMS James Blunt 122,827 Kasier Chiefs 35,538 Crazy Frog 32,637 Alanis Morrissette 17,740 Editors 17,627 Tony Christie 7,369 NOW 61 310,230 Blunt continues to dominate UK charts 01 August 2005 - 10:52:26 From Music Week James Blunt continues to dominate the charts with You're Beautiful spending a third week as the number one single, and Back To Bedlam topping the artist album chart for a fourth straight week, writes Alan Jones. Sales of both records reached another new peak last week, with You're Beautiful enjoying an 11.3% expansion and an eighth straight week of growth, with sales of 51,671. Meanwhile, Blunt's Back To Bedlam album improved its sales for the 14th time in 15 weeks, selling 122,827 copies - a 10.7% increase week-on-week. Blunt is the first artist to be number one on singles and albums charts simultaneously for more than a fortnight since Robbie Williams topped with the single Somethin' Stupid - a duet with Nicole Kidman - and the album Swing When You're Winning in December 2001/January 2002. Sales of the Back To Bedlam album since its release 42 weeks ago are 887,369, while You're Beautiful tallies 268,059 in nine weeks. Their continued growth last week was all the more remarkable given that You're Beautiful also helped Now That's What I Call Music! 61 to a sparkling first week sale of 310,230. The tally is the second highest in the Now! series' 21 year history, being surpassed only by the 334,435 opening of Now! 57 at Easter 2004. Now! 61 claimed a 36.25% share of the compilation market last week, and outsold the rest of the Top 50 compilations added together, while enjoying a 9-1 sales advantage over the number two compilation, Gatecrasher Classics. Although, as noted above, Warner Music's James Blunt single is among seven number ones on Now! 61, the compilation is again dominated by Now! partners EMI, Virgin, Universal and their indie friends, with Warner Music providing just two of the 2CD set's 43 tracks, and Sony BMG surrendering six. With Blunt and Now! helping to stimulate a market which also benefited from end of month salary payments and the start of the school summer holiday, the overall album market rocketed by 22.6% to 3,082,023 - its highest level for six weeks, and its fourth highest level in 30 weeks so far this year. With Now! 61's help, the multi-artist compilation sector's contribution of 856,180 was its highest for 18 weeks, while compilations' share of the market - 27.8% - was at its highest level for 49 weeks. Although Now! 61 was one of five new entries on the Top 20 of the compilation chart, new entries were harder to find on the artist album chart, with one debut in the Top 10 and two more in the Top 20. Winning full marks for stretching a thin formula to its limit, the Crazy Frog phenomenon spawns a hit album Crazy Hits, to follow the number one single Axel F. This week's highest new entry, it hops onto the chart at number five with sales of 32,637. It includes covers of Popcorn (the next single), Pump Up The Jam and the themes to TV's Dallas and The Pink Panther. Released on Gut Records' Gusto imprint, it provides the company with its first Top 10 album since Space's Tin Planet reached number three in 1998. 10 years after she exploded onto the scene with Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette returns with an acoustic interpretation of the same album, entitled, rather reasonably, Jagged Little Pill - Acoustic. The original album was the biggest success ever for Madonna's Maverick label, selling over 2.5m copies in the UK, to become the 29th biggest seller of all-time...but that's small beer compared to its US sales, which stood at 14,410,920 as of last week. Jagged Little Pill...Acoustic sold 17,740 copies last week, and debuts at number 12. Drawung comparisons with Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen, Interpol and even U2, The Editors provide the last new entry to this week's Top 20 artist album chart, debuting at number 13 with their much acclaimed introductory set The Back Room. Containing their singles Bullets, Munich and Blood, which peaked at 54, 22 and 18 respectively, the album sold 17,627 copies last week. The band - formed in 2000 as The Pride after meeting at university in Stafford - are currently on a UK tour, and play a sold out gig at the Eden Project in Cornwall tonight (1st). Back at the sharp end of the chart, the favourites for the Mercury Music Prize, the Kaiser Chiefs, see renewed interest in their Employment album, which is just one place shy of its highest chart position. climbing 5-4 . Sales of 35,538 increase its cume to more than 500,000. The album houses the hits I Predict A Riot (number 22), Oh My God (number six) and Everyday I Love You Less And Less (number 10). I Predict A Riot was their first hit last November, and re-enters the chart at number 46 this week, entirely on the strength of downloads, three weeks ahead of its physical reissue. The singles market enjoyed a smaller boost than the album sector last week, with combined physical and download sales of 793,829 lifting it to a three week high, with James Blunt secured the first sale of more than 50,000 in the sector for four weeks. His continued popularity denied Daniel Powter, another new singer/songwriter signed to Warner Music, the opportunity of a number one debut Already a Top 10 hit in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia and Denmark and Top 20 in German but only just beginning to pick up airplay in his native Canada, Powter's introductory single Bad Day - or, Bad Hair Day, according to the hilariously miscast Jeremy Clarkson on last week's TOTP - debuts at number two here with first week sales of 22,409. The 34 year old from British Columbia, who counts his influences as the Beatles and Elton John, issues his self-titled debut album next Monday (8th August). The only other new entry to make the Top 10 came from Eminem, who registers his 15th straight Top 10 hit with Ass Like That, from the album Encore. Encore became Eminem's third million-selling album last week, and Ass Like That is the fourth Top 5 hit from it, debuting this week at number four on sales of 16,434. The first two singles from Encore - Just Lose It and Like Toy Soldiers - reached number one, and third single Mockingbird got to number four. The album, which was released last November, has climbed 107-80-79-67-29-20 in the last five weeks to reach its highest position in 25 weeks thanks to airplay for the new single, TV advertising and discounting as low as £7.99. Further down the chart, two veteran acts at their peak in the 1980s return to the Top 40 for the first time in the 21st century. Bananarama register their 24th Top 40 entry with Move In My Direction, while Madness go one better, chalking up their 25th Top 40 hit with Shame & Scandal. Ending respective absences of 12 years and six years, Bananarama debut at number 14 with sales of 7,571, while Madness enter at 38 on sales of 2,845. Madness' principal members are still all on board, while 'nanas comprise two of the original trio, namely Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin. Meanwhile, Tony Christie's million-selling seven week chart-topper (Is This The Way To) Amarillo is in the Top 40 for the 20th week in a row, and is joined this week - just as it was in 1973 - by follow-up Avenues & Alleyways. A powerful song which served as the theme to the cult TV series The Protectors, Avenues & Alleyways was nevertheless only a minor hit 32 years ago, peaking at number 37. It tops that this week, debuting at number 26 on 4,579 sales. With the veteran singer appearing on numerous radio and TV shows last week to promote Avenues & Alleyways, Christie's Definitive Collection album rebounds strongly, jumping 86-47 with sales up 165.4% week-on-week at 7,369.
