Brit Sweep: March 3, 3013...

Hey folks, it's time to close this weekend out with a check on the songs making their debut on the top-100 of the Official Music Sales chart in Britain this week, as Justin Timberlake jumps up to the #1 spot with "Mirrors", making it his fourth to top the chart (twice as a lead artist, twice in a featured credit)...

The top debut of the week is by London indie-rock group Bastille, who land their second top-40 hit all the way at #2 with "Pompeii". It follows "Flaws", which reached #21 last year...

The second entry in the top-10 is by "grime" rapper Wiley, with his latest "Reload" featuring rap peer Chip (formerly "Chipmunk"). It's his fifth top-10 single as a lead artist, and three of those are from his latest album The Ascent, and the first single from that set, "Heatwave", was his first #1 last year...

Birmingham singer and songwriter Laura Mvula was a finalist in both the Sound of 2013 and BRITs Critics' Choice awards, and she gets her first chart single into the top-40 as "Green Garden" comes in at #32...

American pop/hardrock group Paramore return at #39 with their fifth top-40 hit, "Now". In 2009 they took "Ignorance" to #14...

Garage rocker Miles Kane debuts at #62 with "Give Up". His last time on the top-100 was in 2011 with "Come Closer" which went to #85.

Vocalist Josh Groban arrives at #64 with his second chart hit, "Brave". His first, "To Where You Are", peaked at #53 eleven years ago..

British pop singer Dido also come back after a five-year break with "No Freedom" at #69. She's had four top-10 singles in the UK on her own, as well as topping the chart on Eminem's "Stan"...

Another "grime" rapper, JME, enters at #97 with "If You Don't Know". Last year, he took "96 F**kries" to #41...

The final entry at #98 is the top-10 US hit from pop/rock group Maroon 5, "Daylight". They have had five top-10 hits in the UK, with "Payphone" going to #1 last year...

That's a wrap for tonight. Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, candletime, part two of this week's "Album Sweep", and the "robbed hit" of the week. Goodnight!
