UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e August 20th 2011

Mark this week as a rarity, as something decent actually hits the top slot and it goes to Promises by Nero, a dance track I’ve heard many a time on XFM recently.

You can see the video here.

As such, it knocks Cher Lloyd’s execrable Swagger Jagger down to No.3, and the fact it hit No.1 is what happens when 5-year-olds are allowed to buy music.

Meanwhile, there are new entries in the Top 40 for:

• 16 David Guetta feat. Sia – Titanium
  
• 37 Jessie J – Who’s Laughing Now
  
• 38 Nicole Scherzinger – Wet
  

Lower entries outside the Top 40 include:

• 57 Drake – Headlines
  
• 58 Game feat. Chris Brown – Pot Of Gold
  
• 63 David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland – When Love Takes Over
  

In the album charts, Amy Winehouse retained the top slot with Back to Black, keeping
