Expletives not deleted from UK charts

The two expletive-laden singles which graphically describe the downfall of a relationship are topping the UK singles chart for yet another week.

Frankee’s (pictured) FURB, the follow-up single to soul singer Eamon’s fiery ballad to his cheating former lover, is at number one for a second week.

Eamon’s I Don’t Want You Back spent four weeks at number one and is now at number two for the second week, despite most of the lyrics having to be muted on radio and television.

New entries into the top five are singles from Cassidy featuring R Kelly with Hotel, and On My Knees by 411 featuring Ghostface Killah.

Irish pop group Corrs return to the charts with their new single Summer Sunshine, which debuted this week at number six.

English band Keane top the album charts for the second week, where they entered last week with their debut album Hopes and Fears.

The Sussex three-piece, who don’t use a guitar between them, earned the tag of bright new British hopes long before their album’s release.

Former Smiths singer Morrissey has had a week of mixed fortunes. His single Irish Blood, English Heart plummeted to number 18 after debuting at number three last week.

However, his new album You Are The Quarry, a comeback for the iconic Manchester singer who was last in the charts in 1997, has entered the charts at number two.

The new record by British hip hop star Mike Skinner and his band The Streets is at number three with their second record A Grand Don’t Come For Free.

Also debuting at number five on the album chart is Meltdown from Northern Irish rock group Ash.
