Brit Sweep: June 1, 2014...

Hey gang, the end of a beautiful weekend is here, and it's time to check out the songs making their debut on the just-released official singles chart in Britain...

The top-selling song of the week in the UK is the first for a Chicago-born DJ living in London who records under the moniker of SecondCity, with the dance track "I Wanna Feel". If you're old enough (like me), you can recognize the snippet of Toni Braxton's "You're Making Me High" that this record cribs....

There's been a string of European hits that have been crossing over to the charts in the UK, and the latest at #3 is French neo-house music duo Klingande with their single "Jubel". It' already topped the chart in Germany, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland, and reached #5 in their native France....

British singer Ellie Goulding scores her lucky seventh top-10 hit with her track from the movie Divergent, "Beating Heart". She went to #1 last year with "Burn"...

Scottish alternative rock band Twin Atlantic land their first top-40 hit as "Heart And Soul" comes in at #17. It's my "Brit Pick of the Week"...

Lana Del Rey is back at #21 with the first single from her upcoming album Ultraviolence, "West Coast". She's had three top-10 singles in this country, with "Summertime Sadness" going up to #4 last year...

C-level British boyband M.A.D. get their third consecutive top-40 hit as "Shotgun" enters at #30. They been doing better and better with each single...

Enrique Iglesias returns at #78 with "There Goes My Baby" featuring Flo Rida....

(Since Ed Sheeran's "Sing" isn't available for sale in the UK as yet, a copycat recording by Act enters the chart at #85...)

Rapper and YouTube "celebrity" Joe Weller pops in at #89 with his "World Cup Song"...

Another YouTube-promoted singer, Lilian, is also debuting at #92 with "Never Be Alone"...

The last entry on the top 100 comes from the top-selling album in the UK this week, In The Lonely Hour by Sam Smith. He's in at #93 with "I'm Not The Only One"...

That's all for tonight....Cheers!
