It appears that 2012 will be the year of Jessie J. Indeed, after scoring three nominations for this year’s BRIT Awards and a spot on the panel of ‘The Voice (UK)’, the singer has vaulted to the top of the Official UK Singles Chart and claimed her 2nd #1 single on the tally.
Another Pop singer who made serious moves this week was Bruno Mars whose ‘Doo-Wops & Hooligans’ album has ousted Adele’s ’21′ from the top spot in its 53rd week of availability. ‘Doo-Wops’ ended 2011 as the 3rd best-selling album of the year in the UK and has sold over 1.22 million copies in that territory to date.
See the leading Urban/Pop releases on both the albums and singles charts below:
