74 Alien Ant Farm – Smooth Criminal * !!!A rocking cover of the Michael Jackson hit, I was really surprised it had gonein so low, until Gareth Reed told me it was an import with the UK releasecoming soon and sure to hit Top 10.

4 Louise – Stuck In The MiddleA rather bog-standard cover, but as her music career is definitely on theslide, I’m just surprised this has made the Top 10.

1 Blue – Too Close *1st Week at No.1*
