<p>This week&#8217;s charts have been dominated by the upcoming <a href="http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/" target="_blank">football world cup in South Africa</a> and <a href="http://talent.itv.com/" target="_blank">Britain&#8217;s Got Talent on ITV1</a>. At the top of the <a href="http://www.nma.co.uk/resources/viral-brand-chart" target="_blank">brand chart</a> is <a href="http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nike/en_EMEA/" target="_blank">Nike&#8217;s World Cup 2010 campaign</a> including a bearded Wayne Rooney!
