There were new titles atop both of Billboard`s pan-European sales charts, as Italian singer Carla Bruni`s 'No Promises' (Naive) started at No. 1 on European Top 100 Albums and Christina Aguilera`s "Hurt" (RCA/Sony BMG) moved from No. 3 to No. 1 on Eurochart Hot 100 Singles.

Bruni`s album was not in the Italian top ten, but debuted at No. 1 in Germany and No. 5 in Spain and climbed 10-2 in the Belgian region of Wallony. Her 2003 album 'Quelqu`Un M`a Dit' topped the chart in France and reached No. 14 in an epic 30-week stay on Top 100 Albums. Turin-born Bruni, 38, was a supermodel until 1998, when she left the fashion industry to become a recording artist.

Pink`s 'I`m Not Dead' (LaFace/Zomba), now 42 weeks into its European chart stay, was up once again, 9-5 after a 10-5 rise in Germany. It was the album`s highest ranking on the pan-European survey since it fell to No. 5 last May after three weeks at No. 1.

Amy Winehouse`s 'Back To Black' (Universal Island), down 7-8 on Top 100 Albums, spent a second week atop the U.K. chart, as sales of roughly 48,000 took its 12-week total there to 409,000 units. Universal labels locked down the entire top five U.K. albums, with James Morrison (Polydor) at No. 2 followed by the Fratellis (Fallout/Island), Snow Patrol (Fiction/Polydor) and Razorlight (Mercury), respectively.

Scottish rock trio the Fratellis was up 19-11 on Top 100 Albums with its debut set 'Costello Music' (Universal Island). That was thanks to a 5-3 climb in the United Kingdom on weekly sales of 18,000 copies. After 19 weeks on the chart, the album had cumulative U.K. sales of 612,000.

Beirut, Lebanon-born singer-songwriter Mika glided 16-7 on the Eurochart with "Grace Kelly" (Universal Island) after having ascended 3-1 in the United Kingdom. It added another 30,000 to its initial download total of 20,000 and was only the second song in U.K. chart history to hit the top there on download sales alone, after Gnarls Barkley`s "Crazy" last March. A CD single of "Grace Kelly" will finally be released by Island next Monday (Jan. 29). Mika`s 'Life In Cartoon Motion' album will follow Feb. 5.

Aguilera`s "Hurt" made a 7-5 move in Wallony and dipped 2-3 in Switzerland. It reached No. 3 on the Eurochart in November but finally rose to No. 1 in its 11th week.

Making a 12-5 gain on the Eurochart was French rapper Kamini`s "Marly-Gomont" (RCA), the best showing in its nine-week run. The track was up 5-4 in Wallony.

Just Jack, the recording name of north London rapper-singer Jack Allsopp, was up 19-10 on the Eurochart with "Starz In Their Eyes" (Mercury) after weekly sales of 29,000 gave it a 4-2 climb in the U.K. Just Jack`s 'Overtones' album will be released by Mercury next Monday.
