Brit Sweep: October 13, 2013...

It's time to head across the Atlantic to check out the songs reaching the just-released official sales chart in Great Britain this week, as six new entries debut in the top-10...

The big winner of them all is Miley Cyrus, who not only tops the singles chart with "Wrecking Ball", but also claims the top spot on the albums chart with Bangerz in its first week. It's her second #1 single after "We Can't Stop"...

In the runner-up spot is the return of rapper Eminem, with "Berzerk". He's topped the singles list in this country six times as a lead artist, the last time with "Like Toy Soldiers" in 2005, along with another as a featured artist on Akon's "Smack That" a year later...

This country's answer to Justin Bieber, Conor Maynard, collects his fifth consecutive top-10 single as "R U Crazy", the first single from his upcoming second album, comes in at #4. His first, "Can't Say No", went to #2 last year...

The Irish/British female vocal group The Saturdays dance in at #5 with the fourth single from their current Living for The Weekend album, "Disco Love". The second release from the set, "What About Us", became their first #1 hit ever last year...

British singer/songwriter James Blunt returns to the top-10 for the first time since 2007's "1973" went to #4 as "Bonfire Heart" flames in at #6. In 2005 he went to the top with "You're Beautiful"...

The sixth and final member of this week's top-10 debut club and my "Brit Pick of the Week" belongs to John Newman, who follows up his chart-topping "Love Me Again" with "Cheating" at #9...

Tween idol and DJ harasser Justin Bieber is in at #14 with a one-off single that is supposedly the first of ten such, "Heartbreaker"...

Singer/songwriter and former X Factor contestant  Lucy Spraggan moves into the top-100 of the chart for the fourth time with "Tea And Toast". She just missed the top-10 by a notch with "Last Night (Beer Fear)"...

One other track from Miley Cyrus' Bangerz album, "Adore You", enters at #61...

London rapper Scrufizzer debuts at #62 with "Kick It", his first to make the chart...

While their track "Show Me Love (America)" nudges into the top-10 on the UK airplay chart, another song, "Could This Be Love", premieres on the sales chart at #77...

Rappers YG, Jeezy, and Rich Homie Quan team up at #79 with "My Nigga"...

Singer Sam Smith, who provided the vocals on Naughty Boy's #1 hit "La La La", is back at #82 as a solo lead artist with "Nirvana"...

The final entry of the week is by AWOLnation, with a song that has taken two years to catch on in America, and is doing the same here, with "Sail"...

That's it for tonight...I'll be back tomorrow with another "song of the day", part two of this week's "album sweep", and my "robbed hit" of the week. Cheers!
