World Charts

In UK charts, Michael Jackson's 'The Essential Michael Jackson' remains at #1 in their albums chart for 7 weeks now. Following Jackson is Beyonce with 'I Am... Sasha Fierce' in at #2, Black Eyed Peas's 'The E.N.D.' at #3, Paolo Nutini's 'Sunny Side Up' at #4, & Stone Roses' 'Stone Roses' at #5. On the singles side, The BEP's "I Gotta Feeling" takes #1 after being pushed down to #2 last week. According to Billboard, this is the first time 2 different song of the same artist/band have reclaimed the top spot (BOom BoOm Pow fell in may and reclaimed #1 in June). Seems like all Jackson and The BEP are doing is breaking records!

Globally, Jackson falls from the top as Japanese band Kobukuro takes the spot with "Calling". Here is a recap of the top 10 albums worldwide:

Kobukuro - Calling - 231,000
Michael Jackson - Thriller (25th Anniversary Reissue) - 192,000
Michael Jackson - Number Ones Epic - 160,000
Michael Jackson - The Essential Epic - 150,000
Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D.Interscope - 122,000
Michael Jackson - Bad 16Epic - 121,000
Michael Jackson - Dangerous 15Epic - 108,000
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall 9Epic - 101,000
Michael Jackson - King Of PopEpic - 97,000
Lady GaGa - The Fame - 80,000

As for singles, none other than the BEP top the charts.Here is the recap:

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas - 408,000 - 5 weeks at No.1
I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) - Pitbull - 215,000
When Love Takes Over - David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland - 191,000
Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas - 169,000
Knock You Down - Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo - 157,000
Fire Burning - Sean Kingston - 142,000
21 Guns - Green Day- 140,000

Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon - 137,000
You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift- 135,000
Ichibu To Zenbu - B'z - 134,000

No doubt that the BEP are really taking over. The video for their official third single 'Meet Me Halfway' is set to be released sometime in November (possibly sooner seeing as how filming is over). Keep an eye Thursday to see if they set a record on the Hot 100 along with Jason Mraz.
