Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

55 Andrew WK – She Is BeautifulVery much in the vein of “Party Hard” and a little too similar andtoo close to the last one to make people buy it.

21 White Stripes – Fell In Love with a Girl *Loud, raucous and very impressive.

5 Nickleback – How You Remind Me *Another top rock tune doing the rounds on MTV2. Not much to differentiateit from most of what’s on the channel though so I’m surprised it’s sold so well.

2 Shakira – Whenever Wherever *The new Britney? She looks as nice but a bit older and a deeper range toher voice. The song’s okay too.

1 Will Young – Anything is Possible/Evergreen *1st Week at No.1*

The Pop Idol winner and record-breaker having sold 1.1 million copies ofthis single in its first week. It’s a bit too twee for my tastes.

His cover of “Light My Fire” was interesting though.

This is the 5th single in a row to go straight in at No.1 :

• 1. Aaliyah – More Than a Woman
• 2. George Harrison – My Sweet Lord (R)
• 3. Enrique Iglesias – Hero
• 4. Westlife – World of Our Own
• 5. Will Young – Anything is Possible/Evergreen
