Two of the brightest new female artists to emerge from the UK in recent years enter the chart on UU-BRU Internet Radio with their debut UK singles. Sarah Joyce, better known as Rumer, reached #12 late last year with her cover of David Gates' number two hit from 1978 "Goodbye Girl". This week she enters the chart at #53 with "Slow", her first single released in the UK in 2010. Both tracks appear on her highly acclaimed debut album "Seasons Of My Soul", just released in the US. After Adele reached number one on UU-BRU Internet Radio with "Chasing Pavements" in 2008, she charted with several more tracks including her first UK single, "Hometown Glory", reaching #52. A live version of Adele's first UK hit taken from "Live At Royal Albert Hall" re-enters the chart this week at #41.
The enormous popularity of Adele gives the cast of Glee their first top ten hit on UU-BRU Internet Radio. Their medley of "Rumour Has It" and "Someone Like You" taken from Adele's "21" project jumps to #8. Adele spent four weeks at number one with "Someone Like You", scoring the biggest hit of 2011 on UU-BRU Internet Radio. Although "Rumour Has It" has not been officially released a single in the US, the song has shown tremendous longevity charting for the past 36 weeks as an album cut, climbing as high as #17 last July.
Three contestants from the two seasons of Rock Star are currently charting on UU-BRU Internet Radio. Suzie McNeil competed on Rock Star: INXS in 2005. Her recent #16 hit, "Merry Go Round", slips to #31. Rock Star Supernova alumni Ryan Star debuts at #98 with his latest, "America", while fellow contestant Dilana enters one spot lower with "Airplane", taken from her film debut Angel Camouflaged.
