Unlike England when taking penalties, you can always rely on the top 40 charts.

Quick Overview – So last week I mentioned that the Americans were a bit late on the Rae Jepsen bandwagon but I guess I was wrong; as well as holding the top spot there for a 2nd week, Carly ‘Call Her Maybe’ Rae Jepz has also hit number one in France and Hungary this week plus moving back up the top 10 in the UK. Talking of the UK, Precision Tunes cashing in on Payphone the week prior hasn’t dampened Maroon 5′s actual chart entry as it’s gone in straight at number one with Cheryl at #2, Flo & his world-conquering Whistle down to #3 and Stooshe being decidedly demure with Black Heart at #4. Whereas The Voice UK Contestants struggled to even get top 40, the Australian charts is overrun with Voice talent. Winner Karise Eden has 4 entries in the Top 10 (including the highly coveted top spot) with two other contestants joining her there. Basically a total top 10 clearout down under.
