BWU Hot 40: Take That Debut at the Top, Make Chart History

British pop group Take That have become the first male artists to hit #1 on the BWU Hot 40.

In the chart's 24 week history, no other male artist has topped the chart. Many have come close, including Ne-Yo and Coldplay, but none made it until this week. "The Garden", an album track from their album The Circus, debuted at the top, knocking Leona Lewis' "Run" down to #2. Take That also are the first artists to have an album track #1. Another album track from the album, "How Did It Come To This", enters at #32.

Continuing the male domination of this week's chart is Coldplay, whose new single "Lovers In Japan" catapults from #17 to #4, their second Top 5 single on the chart.

Girls Aloud hold firm this week, with "The Loving Kind" at #3, and "The Promise" spending an 11th week in the Top 5 at #5.

Brandy's new single "Long Distance" enters this week at #7, her highest charting single so far. The Saturdays, whose single "Up" is close to the 300-point mark, sees another Top 10 debut, with "Issues". The Fray debut at #22 with new single "You Found Me".
