Boogie Pimps:
Somebody To Love

5 Boogie Pimps - Somebody to Love

Standard dance track, but the video has a big-breasted woman in her underwear.

Kelis: Tasty

3 Kelis - Milkshake

Clearly a little ode to Five's early morning children's TV show(!)

Michelle McManus:
Forthcoming Album

1 Michelle McManus - All This Time *1st Week at No.1*

Oh, good god! I thought this kind of thing was all over once Fame Academy's Alex Parks failed to make the top slot.

Michelle, will you please give it into your tiny face... er, I mean mind, that this is not the start of a progressing career in the music industry. It is guaranteed that within a year your subsequent singles will flop, your impending album will not sell outside your own family, and you'll be back to your Karaoke Class with your brash stupid voice!

No wonder Pete Waterman got up and stormed off when you were announced as the winner. It was a fix!

This is the 53rd single in a row to go straight into the Top 40 at No.1 :

  • 1. Aaliyah - More Than a Woman

  • 8. Sugababes - Freak Like Me
  • 9. Holly Valance - Kiss Kiss
  • 10. Ronan Keating - If Tomorrow Never Comes
  • 11. Liberty X - Just a Little
  • 12. Eminem - Without Me
  • 13. Will Young - Light My Fire
  • 14. Elvis - A Little Less Conversation (remix)
  • 15. Gareth Gates - Anyone of Us
  • 16. Darius - Colourblind
  • 17. Sugababes - Round Round
