Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

24 Jonathan Wilkes - Just Another Day

The first solo single from "Robbie Williams' best mate" (TM) but it's nothing to shout about and rather bland.

20 David Gray - This Year's Love

The theme song taken from the 1999 film of the same name but, like the film, it's a rather drab and uninteresting affair.

11 Artful Dodger feat. Michelle Escoffery - Think About Me

A rather insipid and dull tune and not one to think about.

10 D12 - Shit on You

Mmm.. lovely (!)

4 Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood

A mediocre dance track which I've heard in both slow and fast versions, with vocals by Blur's Damon Albarn.

1 Westlife - Uptown Girl *1st Week at No.1*

A dire cover of Billy Joel's chart-topper from October 1983 but it's all in the name of charidee and gives the Oirish boy band another No.1.

This is the 6th single to go straight in at No.1 :

• 1. Rui Da Silva feat. Cassandra - Touch Me
• 2. Jennifer Lopez - Love Don't Cost a Thing
• 3. Limp Bizkit - Rollin'
• 4. Atomic Kitten - Whole Again
• 5. Shaggy feat. Rikrok - It Wasn't Me
• 6. Westlife - Uptown Girl
