THIS WEEK'S NUMBER-ONE SINGLE:
On the last chart week of 2008, Morrison topped the BWU Chart with his single "Broken Strings" with Nelly Furtado, making him the first solo male artist to ever top the chart. Last month, Take That became the first male artists to top the chart with "The Garden". Along with that feat, he is the first artist to ascend to the top in 23 weeks. The last artist to do that was Leona Lewis and "Better In Time", which went to #1 from #11.
Continuing with the male dominance theme of this week's chart, British indie rock band Bloc Party debut at #2 this week with their song "Signs". The song, featured in the latest Gossip Girl episode, nearly missed out on a number-one debut. This week marks the first time that songs by male artists occupied the top two spots of the chart.
Last week's #1, "The Loving Kind" slips to #3, while Leona's "Run" slips to #5. Despite the drop, she gained enough points to break into the 300s.
Speaking of records, Girls Aloud's "The Promise" has officially surpassed Leona's "Better In Time" to become the most successful song in BWU Chart history, beating her by only four point. "The Promise" holds the #8 spot this week.
