Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

No Doubt:
Singles 1992-2003

20 No Doubt – It’s My LifeMaybe CD:UK should’ve taken Bob Geldof’s advice and shown the tape of thisvideo and “fuck” the rest of what was planned.

Michael Jackson:
Number Ones

5 Michael Jackson – One More ChanceThat’s what he’s after but I doubt he’ll get it before trial in January,unless the key witness snuffs it before then as is possibly likely.

Thankfully the dreadful “All New Top of the Pops” didn’t show this video.They claimed it was because Sony said the tape wasn’t ready. Perhaps it wasbecause they had an inept presenter and an even more inept exec.producer inAndi Peters?

When the Thompson Twins were singing “We Are Detective” back in April1983, perhaps they were talking about MJ when they said, “There’s somethingodd about his gloved left hand.”

Shane Richie:
The Album

2 Shane Richie – I’m Your ManThis year’s Children in Need single, and rather a bland cover version toboot. Still, it’s been his year what with having one of the most popularcharacters in Eastenders in a long time. I find you can actually toleratehim now!
