Alexandra is back over at Yahoo! OMG UK this week for another edition of “Alex’s Chart Chat” and this week it’s all about Rizzle Kicks, Dappy and LMFAO. Check out what she had to say about this week’s charts below.

So one of the best new singles this week in at No.2 is the Dappy and Brian May track ‘Rock Star’ – this is a collab I never thought would happen! It’s a big tune, I love the song and I’m surprised it’s not at No.1 yet. Dappy is a lovely boy and he deserves the success, it’s good for him to come away from N-Dubz and be doing his own thing, but also sticking to his roots.

One of my favourite songs out there at the moment is the David Guetta ft Sia Titanium track, I was singing along to it earlier in my car and it’s so catchy!

The whole dance music sound seems to be infiltrating itself into all forms of commercial music at the moment, obviously my track feeds into this idea and I think it’s all about music that can keep you on the dancefloor!

LMFAO seems to have the Midas touch at the mo, it’s been hanging around for weeks now – 26 weeks to be precise! It’s clearly a song that sticks in your head and I personally think it is not gonna go anywhere for a while!
Bit of a random one but Meatloaf is No.5 in the midweeks and it just goes to show that nothing can hold down a heritage act like that! Even though the charts are very much dominated by all these newcomers and pop acts it just goes to show what a loyal fanbase can do for you!

The Rizzle Kicks boys have jumped up 5 places in the album charts and I LOVE their music, I think it’s fresh and interesting and they just don’t care what people think! I love the way they shoot their videos it’s just wicked!
So that’s all for this week….tune in next week when I’ll be about to predict what’s gonna happen with my single!

Alexandra’s new single ‘Elephant ft. Erick Morillo’ is available to pre-order here.

Hi guys, it’s Alexandra Burke here and I’m raring to go with my exclusive new Chart Chat for Yahoo! omg! Join me every week as I give you the lowdown on what I think about the official Top 40 with Alex’s Chart Chat!

This week there have been some storming new entries and the No.1 is that DJ Fresh and Rita Ora song ‘Hot Right Now’ which I think is a really unusual collaboration artist-wise, but I think the track is a great blend of sounds and I really do like her as a vocal artist. I’ve known of Rita for a couple of years and she reminds me a bit of Rihanna, she has a similar swag to her and of course they are from the same family – the famed Roc Nation!

As for DJ Fresh, this man is on a roll! This is his second No.1 single after his track ‘Louder’ went to No.1 back in July last year. I’m intrigued to see what else is to come from this man!

I’m also over the moon for Emeli Sande for getting the No.1 spot in the albums chart! I’m a huge fan of hers and I really respect her as she just does her thing, and I really hope the album stays at the No.1 spot for a while. ‘Daddy’ is one of my favourite tracks on the album and her voice is just flawless. I worked with Emeli on my album, and again I was just so impressed with her talent. She must be absolutely chuffed as she has a No.1 album AND a new entry in the singles chart with ‘Next To Me’ going in at No.2. I should imagine there were a lot of celebrations in that household over the weekend!

As for new tunes, I’m absolutely loving the Gotye single at the moment, it’s a track called ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’! It’s just totally blown up and I love the lyrics as well as the video! The video is very simple and low budget, yet it works very effectively. I was in Denmark recording when I first heard this track and it immediately stuck in my mind. i just can’t stop listening to it.

This is on repeat on my stereo at the moment, alongside the new Chris Brown track ‘Turn Up The Music’ which is a massive tune! Another song that is always far too loud in my car is the Wretch 32 and Josh Kumra track ‘Don’t Go’ – the man just has an amazing voice and I never tire of listening to it!

So there’s a lot of good music out there at the moment, and I’m intrigued to see what new music will be coming through next week! With The Brits this week I’m fairly certain we will see Adele shoot straight off back up the chart!.
