TOP40-FACTS
Nummer 1
Bodies - Robbie Williams

Het is Robbie Williams gelukt om op z'n minst gedeeld nummer 1 te worden in de categorie "Langst op #1 in 2009", hij evenaart deze week namelijk de negen weken die Lady Gaga eerder dit jaar al op #1 stond met Poker Face. Volgende week zal moeten uitwijzen of hij het record ook verbetert.

Record of the Week (RW)
Morning After Dark - Timbaland ft. Nelly Furtado & SoShy

Een paar jaar terug was Timbaland niet uit de hitlijsten weg te slaan dankzij verschillende samenwerkingen met andere artiesten. Een daarvan was Nelly Furtado en die samenwerking is blijkbaar goed bevallen, want nu hij met een nieuw album komt neemt Nelly een deel van de vocalen op zich in de eerste single. Die heet Morning After Dark en is de komende week Record of the Week.

I'm Not Alone verlaat de lijst
Al wekenlang was Calvin Harris' I'm Not Alone de langstgenoteerde plaat in de lijst, maar deze week is het afgelopen voor de ex-nummer 1, maar wel pas na 29 weken. Geen verkeerd resultaat en reden om hieronder de vijf langstgenoteerde platen ooit op een rijtje te zetten.
1. Viva La Vida - Coldplay (42wkn)
2. Make You Feel My Love - Adele (29wkn)
2. Life In Technicolor II - Coldplay (29wkn)
2. I'm Not Alone - Calvin Harris (29wkn)
5. Mercy - Duffy (29wkn)

Robbie knalt door de lijst
Robbie Williams zet er goed vaart achter, vorige week kwam hij op #39 binnen met de Record of the Week van afgelopen week, You Know Me. Deze week staat die plaat op #4, een winst van 35 plaatsten, een record, hieronder de drie grootste stijgers ooit.
1. You Know Me - Robbie Williams (+35)
2. LoveGame - Lady Gaga (+31)
3. Get On Your Boots - U2 (+24)

TOP40-FACTS
Nummer 1
Bodies - Robbie Williams

Twee maanden staat Robbie Williams nu aan de top, het is namelijk week acht dat Bodies het populairst is.

Record of the Week (RW)
You Know Me - Robbie Williams

En behalve de #1 heeft Robbie ook de Record of the Week te pakken met de tweede single van Reality Killed The Video Star, getiteld You Know Me. Daarnaast komt de plaat ook al de lijst binnen op #39. Zie hierboven de video ervan, waarin Robbie als een konijn rondhuppelt.

Het komt niet vaak voor dat de artiest die de RW heeft in dezelfde week ook op #1 staat, maar het is twee keer eerder gebeurd:
- 17 oktober 2008: Keane: #1, Spiralling - RW, The Lovers Are Losing
- 8 mei 2009: Lady Gaga: #1, Poker Face - RW, LoveGame
Sam Sparro was het bijna ook gelukt, alleen hij kreeg de RW in de week dat ie van #1 werd gestoten.

Fairly unproductive 1000, as acquired tendinitis or something like that fairly early on. Got replaced Epiphone. Again, pretty much all John Mayer. Not much to report, hoping to be better soon and learn and play more this 1000.

Getting back to the usual procedure. :-P
[ EDIT: I already wrote this on Monday, but somehow it got deleted :-/ ]
By the way... the title refers to the new album by John Mayer which is so brand-new you can almost feel the production heat... or whatever. Finally the wait is over. :-)

And guess what is played most often on my playlist these days? ^^
I can't wait to get to know the lyrics more deeply.

But looking at the stats of last week I see that Bon Jovi and Robbie Williams also had their moments. Both feature really good new songs on their new records.
I'm really surprised by Robbie's comeback album because I didn't expect that much. His music feels like he's still loving what he does. So it doesn't feel forced. But that's just my impression of it.
Regarding Bon Jovi's "We Weren't Born To Follow": Did anyone notice that there's a different guitar solo in the video/album version? It's missing on the radio/single version.



Oh... and then I have to add two songs to my favorites. First of all the unbelievably good new single of Lady GaGa - Bad Romance. Check out the crazy video for this (soon-to-be) classic. (let me try to give you an example... thanks to Nick ^^ )

I could almost bet that this one will become a major success. And I'm now officially looking forward to "The Fame Monster". :-P
Besides if you're lucky you should be able to hear one of the new songs here on last.fm - "Telephone" which features Beyoncé (what a combination).
The second track I was listening to a lot to last week is Obsessed by Miley Cyrus. Well, it might be a little cheesy, but I like it. This song fits her voice perfectly.

Last but not least I just recently had the chance to watch two concerts and thus would like to recommend both DVDs to home cinema concert fans: ^^
> Tina Live - A CD/DVD live album which features a stunning a 2 hour rock show spectacle.
and
> The Killers Live From The Royal Albert Hall - The first concert DVD by The Killers... finally! Here even the last skeptics should be convinced that this band knows how to do a live show.

Well, that's it for this week. Next time I probably will write some more about the new John Mayer songs. ^^
