Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Dizzee Rascal: Dance Wiv Me

65 (57) Dizzee Rascal Feat. Calvin Harris & Chrome – Dance Wiv Me

This track made No.1 originally based on downloads alone, but it’s rather mediocre anddidn’t deserve the top slot.

Coldplay: Viva La Vida
[Viva La Vida…]

42 (41) Coldplay – Viva La Vida *1st Week at No.1*

Yaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! What a bunch of pompous, stuck-up arseholes!

Katy Perry: I Kissed A Girl
[One of the Boys]

32 (26) Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl

“Oh, look, I’m pretending to be a lesbian”. Bollocks.

George Sampson: Get Up On
The Dance Floor/Headz Up

30 George Sampson – Get Up On The Dance Floor/Headz Up

This is the little scrote who won ITV’s Opportunity Knocks 2008 for hispointless back-breaking routine of flipping himself over.

The Saturdays: Up
[Chasing Lights]

26 (22) The Saturdays – Up

Kings Of Leon:
Sex On Fire
[Only By the Night]

17 (13) Kings Of Leon: Sex On Fire

Great band. Not a bad track, either and great to see them at the top slot.Certainly more deserved than most things that get there.

Pink: So What?
[Funhouse]

16 (11) Pink – So What?

So what, indeed?

Same Difference: We R One
[Pop]

13 Same Difference – We R One

For some reason, I really like this. It’s a great pop song, even if the brotherand sister duo look like the result of the product of incest.

Guru Josh Project:
Infinity 2008

11 (8) The Guru Josh Project – Infinity 2008

Although the 80s is my decade of great music, I was at Uni from 1990-93, and in the first year the original track of this was out and about all over the place and it was fantastic. Great to hear a remixed version!

1990 was, most definitely, time for the Guru. Now 2008 should be as well but too often there’s some stupid lyrics being spoken here which breaks theflow of the track which was only ever meant to be an instrumental!

Girls Aloud: The Promise
[Out of Control]

10 (7) Girls Aloud – The Promise

Where’s the hook in this song? It’s as bad as Will Young’s “Changes” in that it just goes all over the place.

X-Factor: Hero

8 (2) X-Factor – Help For Heroes Charity Single

Charity single featuring the X-Factor people. Great cause, crap song.

Click here for the video

The Killers: Human
[Day and Age]

4 (3) The Killers – Human

Sometimes The Killers’ music can be a bit samey, and this comes across as rather a carbon copy of ‘Read My Mind’ but it’salways listenable so this is worth hearing, but not Top 5 material.

Beyonce: If I Were A Boy
[I Am Sasha Fierce]

2 (1) Beyonce – If I Were A Boy

I’m never a fan of her music and this won’t change anything.

Click here for the video

Take That: Greatest Day
[The Circus]

1 Take That – Greatest Day *1st Week at No.1*

Having been used on a yawnsome advert, this track is so tedious beyond belief Ican’t work out how it ever got made.
