Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

Black Eyed Peas: Meet Me Halfway [The END] 75 (66) Black Eyed Peas - Meet Me Halfway Meh. Click here to see the video

Cheryl Cole: Fight For This Love [3 Words] 73 (65) Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Loves Fight for this love? Erm... she's just split from Cashley Cole! Click here to see the video

Paul Weller: Wake The Nation [Wake Up the Nation] 67 (26) Paul Weller - Wake Up The Nation/No Tears To Cry It's the Modfather's latest work, but after seeing his performance on Jools Holland's show, I'm far from impressed. In fact, it's downright dull! Click here to see the video

Black Eyed Peas: I Gotta Feeling [The END] 54 (54) Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling Hmm... starts off tedious and repetitive... and just gets worse from there. "Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, do it, do it." No, let's not. Click here to see the video

Iyaz: Replay 58 (50) Iyaz - Replay Mediocre pretty-boy pop. Click here to see the video

Lady Gaga: Bad Romance [The Fame Monster] 40 (35) Lady Gaga - Bad Romance *2nd week at No.1* Ridiculous video. Ridiculous song. What a load of junk. Click here to see the video

Owl City: Fireflies [Ocean Eyes] 29 (24) Owl City - Fireflies Autotuned all the way up its own ass, the end result isn't bad but it isn't going to win any awards, either. Click here to see the video

Jason Derulo: In My Head [Jason Derulo] 24 (20) Jason Derulo - In My Head Usual dance-pop bland nonsense from a man so insecure he even has to sing his own name at the start of the song. Click here to see the video

Tinie Tempah: Pass Out 13 (9) Tinie Tempah: Pass Out Who the fuck is buying this shitty pop song? Click here to see the video

Lady Gaga: Telephone [Fame Monster] 11 (6) Lady Gaga - Telephone Lady Gaga wears not a lot and it's a very humdrum song as pop tracks go. Pass. Click here to see the video

Scouting For Girls: This Ain't A Love Song [Everybody...] 5 (2) Scouting For Girls - This Ain't a Love Song T.D.ous... zzzzz.... Click here to see the video

Usher: OMG [Raymond Vs Raymond] 2 (1) Usher - OMG Dull pop-rap by numbers. Very monotonous too. Click here to see the video

Diana Vickers: Once [Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree] 1 Diana Vickers - Once *1st week at No.1* Quite a surprise from an X-Factor also-ran, this is actually an engaging little pop tune. Although why she would still let a wrong 'un hurt her once is anyone's guess. Click here to see the video
