Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

39 Soft Cell – The NightA cover of the Frankie Valli track, it’s actually quite a decent version andjust as deserving of a Top 10 placing as Erasure’s “Solsbury Hill”

16 Busta Rhymes – Make it ClapMr Rhymes misunderstood the title quoted to him by a Chinese man.

12 Kelly Osbourne – Shut UpPlease do.

Never has one career been stretched out so long on zero talent. She shouldapply for Pop Idol 2.

1 (NEW) t.A.T.u – All The Things She Said *1st Week at No.1*

This is the debut release for a Russian female duo, aged 18 (well, one is,and the other turns 18 later this month), portraying a couple of lesbianschoolgirls in the video, snogging away while a crowd of people look on frombehind a fence, all taking part in the pouring rain.

Perhaps there’s a message as to why all the people are standing behind afence – are they the ones who believe they have freedom while they’re reallythe trapped ones… or do the media just want to get off on the titilationof two young girls kissing and there’s no requirement for a credit card towatch it?

  • 13. Will Young – Light My Fire
  • 14. Elvis – A Little Less Conversation (remix)
