Brit Sweep: July 15, 2012...



Hey guys, it's time for a sampling of this week's debuting singles on the Official Charts in the UK, which is based on sales throughout the country.

This week's big winner is Florence + The Machine, who arrive all the way at #1 with the Calvin Harris remix of "Spectrum (Say My Name)", the fifth song from the excellent Ceremonials album, and surprisingly the only one to even make the top-10...

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert has certainly had the better luck overseas, as he scores his second British top-40 hit at #17 with "Never Close Our Eyes"...


Coming in at #37 is the London indie-rock trio the Vaccines, who had one of the best album titles of last year with What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?. Previewing their sophomore set, The Vaccines Come Of Age, is "No Hope"....


Popping in at #46 is the unusual collaboration between rapper B.o.B. and country ingenue Taylor Swift, on "Both Of Us"...


British folk singer Ben Howard jumps in the top-100 at #65 with the fourth song from his debut Every Kingdom, with "The Fear"....


At #74 is Radical Face, one of the monikers used by musician Ben Cooper to record, with "Welcome Home"...


California rockers Train make it to #86 with their followup to "Drive By", "50 Ways To Say Goodbye"...


And sneaking in at #96 is the fourth single from Lana Del Rey's Born To Die album to make the UK top-100, "National Anthem"...


That's it for now, and all hail Florence and her glowing vagina of light!
