Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

33 Madison Avenue - Everything You Need

Except the record-buying public it seems.

28 Terrorvision - D'Ya Wanna Go Faster? :O ===

Not really. This single is awful.

21 Toploader - Dancing in the Moonlight

Oh, will this record please sod off out of the charts?! I loved "Achilles Heel", but "Dancing..." is sticking around after being used in a terrible Sainsburys advert with mockney wanker Jamie Oliver.

9 Pink - You Make Me Sick :O ===

And so does this tripe.

7 All Saints - All Hooked Up

Are they still together? Have they split up? Either way, why is this single such a load of rubbish?

1 Limp Bizkit - Rollin' *1st Week at No.1*

Well I quite liked "Take a Look Around" and have really liked "My Generation" since its endless plays on MTV2, but this single still leaves me cold.

This is the 3rd 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'
