Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Franz Ferdinand:
Do You Want To?
[You Could Have
It So Much Better]

4 Franz Ferdinand: Do You Want To?

Previously we heard stonking singles such as Take Me Out, Matinee and Michael. Now, thisfirst single from their second album is as pedestrian as you can get, borrowing a load of ‘do do-de do do’-stylevocals from old ’80s Duran releases.

Take Franz Ferdinand out and have them shot.

Pussycat Dolls: Don’t Cha
[PCD]

1 Pussycat Dolls – Don’t Cha *3rd Week at No.1*

How come this charted so low (No.44) the week before it suddenly shot to thetop? Can’t be an import, surely, given the restrictions on number of formatsand other factors?

Thanks for the confirmation from Paul Aled Gilbert and Paul Hyett thatthat week’s position was indeed due to import sales. The download positionof No.22 may also have helped those, according to PH.

Oh well, I thought we’d escaped them, but no.

Remember when the Spice Girls started in 1996? Well, this is the USA version so back in time we go.

Which one’s “Posh”, which one’s “Sporty”, etc? Who cares.

This is the 4th No.1 to go straight in at the top in a row:

1. McFly – I’ll Be OK
2. Oasis – The Importance of Being Idle
3. Gorillaz – Dare
4. Pussycat Dolls – Don’t Cha
