Not much going on in this weeks chart, although we do have an exciting month ahead with many new releases surfacing. Madonna and Justin debut at #3. This is based on digital sales only as the CD single isn't out until April 21st. She's #1 on the digital chart so the single is sure to hit #1 when digital and physical sales are combined. Great news for Vanessa Amorosi whose "Perfect" also debuts on digital sales alone at #23, proving the track is becoming extremely popular. Delta's camp must be alarmed, in its second week, "You Will Only Break My Heart" falls 12 places from #14 to #26 - OUCH! This is officially Delta's least successful single since her debut flop "I Don't Care" back in November 2001. It seems every time Delta releases a fun poppy track, they don't go down so well with the general public (another example being 2005's "A Little Too Late" which became her first non-Top 10, peaking at #13). Her album "Delta" has fallen out of Top 50 again this week. Good news for Brian though, "Like Only A Woman Can" re-gains one spot, moving back into the Top 20. Speaking of dissapointing performances, Mariah's "Touch My Body" has been a huge under-performer considering it's the first single from a new album, sitting at #21 after only 3 weeks (and a low peak of #17). Lastly, it seems the entire lesbian population rushed out to buy K.d. Lang's new record "Watershed", which jumped a crazy 37 spots to #1!
