‘Ignition’ Tops UK Singles Chart

As yet ‘Michael Jackson’s Home Movies’ special, has not been televised in the UK or Europe, but this special includes a fantastic clip of Michael grooving in the back seat of a car in Florida, to R. Kelly’s ‘Ignition Remix’. Michael obviously has good taste and still has his finger on the pulse when it comes to understanding music, as this song has burst onto the UK Singles chart at #1 today.

The sales success of R. Kelly’s single ‘Ignition’ comes after his album ‘Chocolate Factory’ topped the US album chart in February 2003.

‘Ignition’ is still at number three in the US after 28 weeks on the chart.

It has now become R. Kelly’s 14th UK top 20 single. His last hit, ‘The World’s Greatest’ from the film Ali reached number four in March 2002.

‘Ignition’ beat off competition from hip-hop group Big Brovaz, who had a new entry at number two with their version of ‘My Favourite Things’, originally from ‘The Sound of Music’.

R. Kelly wrote ‘You Are Not Alone’ for Michael’s History – Book 1 Past, Present and Future’ double album and ‘Cry’ for the ‘Invincible’ album.
