Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

29 Girls at Play - Respectable

No doubt the next girl band to get the chop following the Sugababes in their tracks.

27 Jo Breezer - Venus and Mars

A load of girlie slop.

20 Ash - Candy :O ===

They've done some brilliant stuff in the past, but this is bloody awful and takes "Take It Easy on Yourself" in the background and tries to work a song around it (badly). The fact that you can't get that track out of your head just makes this one grate even further.

8 Sum 41: Fat Lip * !!!

A brilliant rock track that's been around on MTV2 for the past month or two twinned with the even better, but way too short, "Pain For Pleasure"

7 Bell and Spurling - Sven Sven Sven :O ===

Comedy football recorded named in honour of the England coach.

1 Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of My Head *3rd Week at No.1*

Well, so much for the Kylie vs. Posh No.1 single battle as the latter couldn't even manage a hit inside the Top 5 - and deservedly so.

As for Kylie, it's okay, but that's all. It's a mediocre track that doesn't inspire much in the way of positive thoughts. Yes, she may have a slinky white dress in the video but it doesn't sit well when you have the body of an Ethopian.

Much better is the track I've only recently heard, even though I understand it's a year old and comes from her last album. That track is "Your Disco Needs You". Why they hell wasn't that released over here??

Read the review of her album Fever
