Brit Sweep: December 28, 2014...

Hey gang, the weekend's at a close, so it's time to check out the songs making their debut on the top-100 official singles chart in Britain this week, as Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars climb back up to #1 for a second non-consecutive week with "Uptown Funk"...

The post-Christmas week (the UK considers the week before the 25th its coveted "Christmas week") is expectedly slow, with only one song making its debut in the top half of the chart. And the song, "Heroes (We Could Be)" from Swedish DJ Alesso with singer Tove Lo, is an established hit around the world already (it's top-40 in the U.S.). The single enters at #6, making Alessandro Lindlad's third top-10 hit; he went to #1 with Calvin Harris with "Under Control" in 2013...

Australian dance music artists  New World Sound team up with Thomas Newsom at #67 for "Flutes". It's a rework of their 2012 hit "Flute" that went top-10 in France, adding British rapper Lethal Bizzle...

American modern rock band Echosmith climb in at #74 with their U.S. Top-20 hit "Cool Kids"...

The final new entry on the top-100 is Michael Buble's version of "Holly Jolly Christmas" at #96...

Cheers!
