Other notables included Nelly Furtado, who dropped two to #4 with ‘Maneater’, Paolo Nutini, who debuted at #5 with ‘Last Request’, Sandi Thom, who slipped two to #6 with ‘I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker’, Pussycat Dolls, who fell four to #7, and George Michael, who debuted at #13 with ‘An Easier Affair’.
