Top 40 Sun 6 Sep 09
Jay-Z's new tune goes straight to the top in the UK and strangely drops to 6 in the US after last weeks high of 5.
Shame Sugababes didn't delay the release of their superb runner-up 'Get Sexy', maybe they will score another chart-topper next week.
What's with Kings Of Leon? 'Sex On Fire' gets the highest climb up 27 to 6 while 'Use Somebody' is back at 36.

End of Noughties
A Meldrew here, welcome to Cardiff 2009/2010, yep the end of the decade, bye bye noughties hello another ten years it's difficult name until we get to thirteen or maybe we'll just leave it til we reach the twenty twenties.
It's a great time to be in South Wales and before you ask no-one asked us so we're going to continue using capitals for south Wales, so that's South Wales - ok. I mean even the residents of St. Petersberg had a vote on whether to stick with Leningrad or change back.
Even with the expected upturn to the economy with JLS heading here and averaging £6k spend per night the pressure's on and just like Children In Need's coffers defy gravity by bulging bigger each year so exam pass rates are getting better and better, we're going to be so brainy we can overcome any hurdle even the new degree for Golf Course Management.
More proof the worst is over, a humungous great mother of all road humps on the main road through Cardiff City centre by the castle, it's going to become a tourist attraction on it's own. It's arrived in time for our excellent new St.David's 2 shopping centre which will undoubtedly become the envy of the world and is now over half occupied.
With our bill for Bank Aid not due to arrive until after the upcoming general election, it's reassuring that the 15p per gallon fuel duty increase has landed, the same week manufacture of traditional light bulbs is banned and Cardiff Council announced plans to put street lighting on dimmer switches.
If I were a disc jockey I could think of a song... oh yeah, how about "The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades" - now there's an oldie but goldie that sums it up, thank you not forgotten by me Tim Buk 3.
