Update: JLS, GaGa, Beyoncé

Published Wednesday, Jul 15 2009, 11:15 BST | By Nick Levine | 25 comments
It's time for today's midweeks update... and there's something fishy going on.

  • JLS's 'Beat Again' is still number one, but 'Umbrella' has completely vanished from the top 40. Can anyone think why?


  • Lady GaGa's 'Paparazzi' has slipped since Sunday but is still in the top five.


  • Chicane's 'Poppiholla' has climbed into the top ten, while Beyoncé's 'Sweet Dreams' has moved into the top 15.


  • 'Don't Trust Me' by 3OH!3 is slap bang in the middle of 20 and 30.


  • Arctic Monkeys' 'Crying Lightning' has taken a tumble but is still in the top 30, while VV Brown's 'Shark In The Water' is now a kitten's whisker outside.


  • If you have any specific requests for Friday, well, you know where to leave them.

    Umbrella is an official B-Side and as such is ineligable to chart separately under chart rules (thank God)

    Well it looks like JLS are set to knock Cascada off the top spot and but will it be the 1101th chart-topper and but so far Alexandra Burke, the main woman who won The X Factor has already had a number one and but now X Factor Series 5 runners-up JLS are going to do the same way to top the charts. So far Kelly Clarkson, ex-American Idol winner has already been number one in her mainland and here in the U.K.

    What about I gotta feeling? Still in the top 10?

    JLS is looking good at the charts, i think Umbrella was taken from the Top40 because its a B-side and B-sides don't usually chart these days
    Lauren, Hampshire, on July 15th, 2009
    I really hope Beyonce doesnt make the Top 10. Her songs are rubbish. I'm glad Paparazzi still in top 5, disappointed that VV Brown is not in top 10 yet. JLS - their song is OK, Umbrella probably was taken off due to Rihanna's record label, as it wouldn't just COMPLETELY drop out of the top 40 like that unless there was a reason for it!!

    Battlefield is still top 15 at moment
    K, Chelt, on July 15th, 2009
    Ooh, feel a pedantic moment coming on... 'Don't Trust Me' is at 27 and a half? ;o) (Whoops! I meant between 20 and 30 - Naughtynick.)

    Is it because they use the same music from Rihanna's version which they have used without permission?
    Gareth, Southampton, on July 15th, 2009
    I would like to know whether Florence has overtaken MJ on the album chart on Friday and if there is any change for VV Brown.
    RJ, Oxford, on July 15th, 2009
    Considering there have been a couple of well timed posts on GS about JLS, are the record company slipping you money to plug the track??
    Grant, Bristol, on July 15th, 2009
    Can you try and find out where Green Day - 21 Guns is.
    Shaun, Herts, on July 15th, 2009
    hows battlefeld getting on?
    Jonathan, on July 15th, 2009
    Umbrella has apparently been removed by chart officials. no idea why.
