Ne-Yo scores 5th #1 single in the UK



Ne-Yo emerges victorious today as Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) sees off competition from new entries by The Script FT Will.I.Am and P!nk.



At the midway point of the week there was just a little over 2,000 copies separating all three tracks, but Ne-Yo managed to pull ahead of the competition by a margin of 11,000 copies to scoop his fifth Official Number 1 single here in the UK. Since 2006, Ne-Yo has also topped the Official Singles Chart with hits including So Sick, Closer, Beautiful Monster and 2011’s Give Me Everything (with Pitbull and Afrojack).

New single, Let Me Love You, produced by Stargate, features a chorus co-written by Australian singer/songwriter Sia Furler, who has also collaborated on two of 2012’s Top 10 biggest selling singles – David Guetta’s Titanium and Flo Rida’s Wild Ones.

The Script’s new single Hall Of Fame, featuring Danny O’Donoghue’s co-star on BBC’s The Voice, Will.I.Am, bags second place today. Despite the Dublin rockers missing out on their first UK Number 1 single, they do equal the chart success of 2008’s The Man Who Can’t Be Moved which also notched up a Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart. Hall Of Fame paves the way for The Script’s new album, #3, out tomorrow.

Global superstar P!nk lands a debut Number 3 for Blow Me (One Last Kiss) as she joins forces with songwriter/producer Dan Wilson (Adele’s Someone Like You). Blow Me… (3) is taken from P!nk’s forthcoming sixth studio album The Truth About Love, also out tomorrow.

Previous chart toppers Little Mix’s Wings and Sam & The Womp’s Bom Bom slip down to Number 4 and 5, respectively.

Other new entries and high climbers

Elsewhere, today’s new entries are completed by Flo Rida’s I Cry who climbs 11 places since midweek from 22 to 11 and The Vaccines’ Teenage Icon (39).

The week’s highest climber is Professor Green who catapults 133 places north to Number 36 today with Avalon. Professor Green hit headlines yesterday after raising concerns of a cancer scare, the rapper was seen tweeting to his fans as he underwent a procedure to remove a suspicious lump from his head. Despite worries, Green went through with his appearance at the Pilton Party in Glastonbury on Friday night and marched on talking to his fans on Twitter about new single Avalon.

Taken from Pro Green’s second studio album, At Your Inconvenience, Avalon will be the album’s fourth single, due for official release until September 16.

Plan B’s Deepest Shame, the third single from Ill Manors, after the release of the album's title track and Lost My Way, leaps 77 places this week to Number 27.

greatestheroine 11th-Sep-2012 03:03 am (UTC)
Tonight is like a song to get people in the mood for sexy time (no complaints though) :D
rose_of_love 11th-Sep-2012 11:13 am (UTC)
"Adorn" is so.fucking.amazing
supernature_971 10th-Sep-2012 09:43 pm (UTC)
Didn't realize he still made music tbh.
judgmental 10th-Sep-2012 09:43 pm (UTC)
I can't take him seriously with that name
astormatsea 10th-Sep-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
ne-yo knows how to make a jam
stussytribe 10th-Sep-2012 10:03 pm (UTC)
he really does know how to write a song like nobodys business
kandy_barr 10th-Sep-2012 09:49 pm (UTC)

Has he ever been spotted/linked with anyone?
smnp 10th-Sep-2012 10:00 pm (UTC)

pettyscenes 10th-Sep-2012 10:01 pm (UTC)
Aw, that's kind of cute.
katie_g_lynn 10th-Sep-2012 09:55 pm (UTC)
I prefer him as a songwriter for other artists tbh.
thickfreakness 10th-Sep-2012 09:55 pm (UTC)
Not a big fan of the singles he releases, but I love his demos and unreleased tracks.
winterburg 10th-Sep-2012 09:56 pm (UTC)
I love Ne-yo :)
This song is good! My fave song of his has to be Closer... or Part of the List
prophecypro 10th-Sep-2012 09:57 pm (UTC)
Black music sold out with this trend
peachie_ego 10th-Sep-2012 10:05 pm (UTC)
Stop...I love them for selling out. Makes their music so much more lovable and diverse to me. All I need is Trey to pop on over and it'll be set.
prophecypro 10th-Sep-2012 10:12 pm (UTC)
Fuck that.
They just take eurobeats that have been on UK and european radio for 15 years and jumping on them. What was wrong with their music before? How is only jumping on electro music diverse?

But we saw this 20 years ago with house, shit will fade out too

maria0305 10th-Sep-2012 10:40 pm (UTC)
correct. at first i was excited that maybe they'd open the ears and eyes to those black folk that refuse to listen to anything but r&b/hip-hop but then i realized that...that wasn't happening, and everything was turning to shit.
hams5 10th-Sep-2012 10:01 pm (UTC)
Funny, So Sick was playing on the radio the other day. Such a good song
winterburg 10th-Sep-2012 10:05 pm (UTC)
Actually one of my faves of his is One In A Million. the video is cute too, very mj-esque. (Actually everything he does is mj like aha)

stewie_e 11th-Sep-2012 05:19 am (UTC)
lol. he tried it with this album. unfortunately his whole super power based videos didn't register with the public. he was trying to make a thriller-esque era but it didn't fly. this was the only song i liked off "libra scale."

hope his new LP is more like hist first three albums. YOTG was my favorite.
corruptionoflol 10th-Sep-2012 10:08 pm (UTC)
does he think anyone forgot that he basically wrote the same song, entitled "Let Me Love You", for Mario??
kamikashi 10th-Sep-2012 10:15 pm (UTC)
lol i was just telling my friend that last night when she was talking about "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)." this one is catchy but i think the one he did for Mario is better.

That hat is still not fooling anyone, Ne-Yo
saltonmycuts 10th-Sep-2012 10:24 pm (UTC)
I wish he was still popular.
maria0305 10th-Sep-2012 10:38 pm (UTC)
when did he get all muscular tho?
aloakley 10th-Sep-2012 10:48 pm (UTC)
i actually screamed in horror the first time i saw him without a hat :'(
sinfule_desire 10th-Sep-2012 10:48 pm (UTC)
Closer is still one of my favorite jam... I can't deal with this song because its playing EVERYWHERE
justyourfaceha 10th-Sep-2012 10:50 pm (UTC)
Never even hear this song. Catchy though
empirebird 11th-Sep-2012 12:39 am (UTC)
year of the gentleman was so good. love it.
stewie_e 11th-Sep-2012 05:21 am (UTC)
YES. His best album.
promisering15 11th-Sep-2012 05:33 pm (UTC)
I've been in love with him for the past 7 years. He's just too much perfection to me.
Plus, every song of his applies to the relationship I've had on and off with my girl for the past 6 years.
