AceShowbiz - When Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" was released in March 2006 and remained at #1 in U.K. Singles chart for nine weeks, everybody thought that it was the ultimate song of the decade. However, it was recently broken by Rihanna's infectious hit "Umbrella" featuring Jay-Z.
"Umbrella" is enjoying its ninth week atop the U.K. chart while maintaining its #1 post in U.S. Billboard's Hot 100 chart at the same time. The song holds strong to its position despite the big jumpers in the U.K. chart.
Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie's slow hit "Big Girls Don't Cry" climbed 8-2 and knocks Indie singer Kate Nash's "Foundations" one place down. Timbaland's second single "The Way I Are" feat. D.O.E. and Keri Hilson also made its leap from no. 4 to 6.
The biggest jumper of all in the top ten, however is Arctic Monkeys' "Fluorescent Adolescent" that positioned itself at # 5 after previously remained seated at #23. Avril Lavigne's second single "When You're Gone" on the other hand slipped 6-3 and followed by Enrique Iglesias' "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)" that equally descended three position from no.7.
British rock act The Hoosiers plunged 8-5 with their debut single "Worried About Ray". As predicted, My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" gained a jumping chart post from no. 16 to 9 after its music video was released. Rounding up the top ten tiers this week is Natasha Bedingfield's "Soulmate" that sat at #7 last week.
