NewsTimbaland knocks Rihanna off the top spotUS super-producer-cum-solo star Timbaland has knocked Rihanna's 'Umbrella' off the top of the UK singles chart with his single, 'The Way I Are' The single, which debuted in the charts last Sunday at Number Four, prevented Rihanna from registering an eleventh week at the top. This week's NME cover star Kate Nash saw her single 'Foundations' leapfrog 'Umbrella' into the Number Two slot. A notable new entry in today's chart includes the Manic Street Preachers at Number Ten with 'Autumnsong'. Arctic Monkeys, currently busy playing the second of two huge shows at the Lancashire Country Cricket Ground, saw their single 'Fluorescent Adolescent' drop from Number Five to Number Fourteen. Jack Penate, who appears on this week's NME cover alongside Kate Nash, saw his single 'Torn On The Platform' fall from Number 17 to Number 24. 'Had Enough' by The Enemy fell from 20 to 37. Today's new album chart saw reality TV star Paul Potts retain the Nmber One slot with his debut album, 'One Chance' Timbaland's 'Shock value' album rose two places to Number Two. Kings of Leon also registered a rise in the charts, with their third album, 'Because Of The Times' rising from Number Seven to Number Four following a storming performance at the Benicassim festival in Spain, watched by many Brits. Fans pay tribute to Lee Hazlewood Fans have played tribute to songwriter-producer Lee Hazlewood, who died on Saturday (August 4). Hundred of fans contacted NME.COM to join tributes from the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley and Primal Scream. Brad Edwards from Adelaide in Australia said: "His darkest moments would sit comfortably amongst those that have come to embrace him over the years, whether it be Jarvis, Nick Cave, Sonic Youth, Tindersticks or Primal Scream." Rick Kirkendall from Las Vegas commented that "he was never a mainstream star because he took a rebel stance, and for that you have to have a respect for him". Meanwhile Paul Smith from Rugby wrote to say: "For those of us lucky enough to have been touched by his talent during his lifetime, it's a time to reflect on the contribution of a true musical maverick. "For those for whom news of his death has given them their first encounter with the name Lee Hazlewood, his legacy lies waiting to be discovered..." Graham Moynes from Dublin remarked that he had "the perfect gritty cowboy voice that conjured up images of lonesome deserts, coyotes and a man who lived by his own rules...(He) had real soul". Sofi Papamarko said: "Very few songwriters have ever broken and battered my heart and given me chills down my spine and made me laugh out loud, all in the span of a single song. He was a genius. Here's hoping that some good will come of his death; that more people discover the man's wonderful music." The fans follow musicians' tributes that have been coming into NME.COM. Jarvis Cocker said: "He was a fantastic songwriter & producer & storyteller." Meanwhile, Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie described Hazlewood as "a motherfucker of a songwriter and a great producer too". Meanwhile Richard Hawley, a close friend, said: "Ironically Lee Hazlewood was overlooked in his life but we'll desperately miss him a lot more than we realise." A full obituary is on NME.COM now. Meanwhile send your memories and tributes for Hazlewood to news@nme.com with Lee as the subject and we'll print the best. |
