UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e October 27th 2012

Going straight in at No.1 is Calvin Harris Feat. Florence Welch with Sweet Nothing and… well…, I like Florence and the Machine, but to a dance beat? I’ll pass.

You can see the video here…

As such, Swedish House Mafia Feat. John Martin drops to No.2 with Don’t You Worry Child and it’s more brain-dead, autotuned, dance-pop-by-numbers.

Adele drops from 4 to 5 with Skyfall and it proves that there hasn’t been a decent Bond theme since kd lang‘s Surrender graced the closing credits of Tomorrow Never Dies in 1997. However, it’ll be interesting to see if it goes back up once the film comes out this Friday.
