Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

40 Def Leppard - Long Long Way To Go

Well, I hope they don't make it to anywhere near me.

31 Meatloaf - Couldn't Have Said It Better

After all the promotion for this single, perhaps he should realise that he should actually do something original instead of trotting out all the poor "Pandora's Box" copyalikes that he did with the dreadful "I'd Do Anything For Love", etc?

4 Robbie Williams - Come Undone

A cover of the Duran Duran track. Apparently the B-side is a specially-written track, "Happy Easter (War is Coming)". Er... bit late, Robbie.

2 Madonna - American Life

Madonna tries to be controversial for the sake of it and completely fails. She also re-shot the video so that it doesn't feature too much war stuff. Yawn!

1 (1) Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham - Make Luv :O === *4th Week at No.1*

Everyone's heard this track if they watch TV, for it's the latest Lynx advert in which a man starts dancing in a bar to a beat that starts small and grows large, eventually being accompanied by two ladies including the gorgeous actress/model Rachel Grant.

As for the track, I liked it at first, but since hearing the original version by Oliver Cheatham, "Get Down Saturday Night", as featured on radio station Fever 105 in the PS2 game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and the track itself goes on for nearly 8 minutes.

This is the 35th 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)
