So Leona Lewis enters a sixth week at #1 with "Bleeding Love", the joint longest-running Number One in the Ultratop era for a British female, along with "What If" by Kate Winslet in 2001/2. A lot of further weeks on top might however be tricky, as this week sees the release of a handful of local Eurovision Song Contest preselection entries, most of which supported by a discount voucher to boot. Stéphanie Soko(linski) bounces back to her peak position of #3 with the unusual radio favourite "I'll Kill Her", while another female debutante helped in no small part by the Internet, Yael Naim, finally breaks the Top 10 with "New Soul" (11-8).

Also joining the upper ten is a lady who's often been there before, though surprisingly this is only her fourth visit since 1995: Ms Kylie Minogue. The continent-only single "In My Arms" (13-10) becomes her first Top Tenner since "Slow" back in late 2003. Adele has got going properly with "Chasing Pavements" (31-14), while Janet Jackson gets her first Top 20 entry since 2001's "Son Of A Gun", as "Feedback" leaps 32-19. Up 35-25 are R.E.M. with "Supernatural Superserious", by far their biggest Ultratop-era hit by now, with the greatest gainer being scooped by Air Traffic's "No More Running Away" (49-29), the highest peak yet for the Bournemouth foursome.

The latest month-long chart-topper in Great Britain finally breaks the slightly smaller country at the other end of the Channel: (Aimee Anne) Duffy, the 23-year-old Welsh blonde whose impressive voice has been likened to Lulu and Dusty Springfield. This cleaner, scrubbed-up pendant of Amy Winehouse provides the highest debut at #33 with the catchy and very retro "Mercy". Five places lower is another Ultratop debut for a British act, although this one has been going for a fair few years: Goldfrapp. Though not quite the most commercial thing they've released, the eccentric duo's new single "A&E" (apparently to be pronounced 'Andy') is the first of their two handfuls of singles to make the sales Top 50, entering at thirty-eight.

Just one new entry left at #46, and it's to the credit of Katie Melua, whose one-before-the-last-one single "If You Were A Sailboat" coincidentally re-enters one place higher up. The more uptempo "If The Lights Go Out" is the third single from the Georgian nightingale's gold "Pictures" album and her fourth appearance inside the singles top 50. And while she occupies the 45-46 slot, chance has it that numbers 47 and 48 are also for one and the same artist: Jeroen van der Boom (with "Eén wereld" and "Jij bent zo" respectively).

"Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" becomes the second album topper for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, following 2003's "Nocturama" (with just seven weeks on chart one of the shortest-lived Number One albums of all time). Highest debut at a neat #6 is for "Attica!" by Monza, the current band of the long-standing respected lyricist Stijn Meuris. The Gutter Twins skyrocket into the Top 10 with "Saturnalia" (41-7), while Tokio Hotel's concert in Brussels keeps reviving the "Scream" album (34-13).

US soul diva Erykah Badu is new at #32 with her Ultratop maiden trip (her nineties classic "Baduizm" bizarrely never charted): the elaborately-titled "New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)". Gorki, a Dutch-language band in much the same genre as the above-named Monza, are in at #44 with "Voor rijpere jeugd" ["For Mature Youth"]. Bottom of the pile at forty-eight is the original soundtrack of 'Katarakt', a heavily-watched Sunday night drama series about a woman slowly going blind. The lead actress has subsequently loosened a lot of tongues since falling pregnant by the actor playing her son in the series, nearly 20 years her junior!
