Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

13 Erasure - Oh L'Amour

Again?

8 REM - Bad Day

Sounds a little too much to "It's The End of the World..." for my liking, not that I don't like that track, but it just sounds like they've given up trying.

7 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Mixed Up World

So, so pedestrian. What happened to the originality she brought to Theaudience?

6 Emma - Maybe

That's Emma Bunton, and this kind of dancey-showtune effort really doesn't suit her at all. Then again, she's tried several others and they've failed too.

5 50 Cent - Pimp

Nice of him to tell us what his day-job is.

1 (NEW) Sugababes - Hole in the Head *1st Week at No.1*

Seemed okay at first, but soon gets way too samey and it's strange they try and get 'hip' with the kids by including a line about "crazy shit", which is altered for radio and TV by repeating 'crazy' so it appears twice.

Still, at least the Black Eyed Peas are no longer No.1

This is the 45th single in a row to go straight into the Top 40 at No.1 :

  • 1. Aaliyah - More Than a Woman
  • 2. George Harrison - My Sweet Lord (R)
  • 3. Enrique Iglesias - Hero
  • 4. Westlife - World of Our Own
  • 5. Will Young - Anything is Possible/Evergreen

  • 7. Oasis - The Hindu Times
  • 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
  • 18. Blazin Squad - Crossroads
  • 19. Atomic Kitten - The Tide is High
  • 20. Pink - Just Like a Pill
  • 21. Will & Gareth - The Long and Winding Road/Suspicious Minds
  • 22. Las Ketchup - The Ketchup Song
  • 23. Nelly - Dilemma
  • 24. DJ Sammy - Heaven
  • 25. Westlife - Unbreakable
  • 26. Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
  • 27. Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not the One
  • 28. Eminem - Lose Yourself
  • 29. Blue & Elton John - Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word
  • 30. Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground
  • 31. David Sneddon - Stop Living The Lie
  • 32. t.A.T.u - All The Things She Said
