Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

45 Paul McCartney – From a Lover to a FriendNow pulled after its first week of release so he can stick it on the backof a tribute to the New York victims from Sept 11th called “Freedom”.

33 (19) Part-T-One v INXSWhat the hell has this got to do with INXS?

28 Ricky Tomlinson – Are You Lookin’ At Me :O ===I love the Royle Family but Ricky should’ve drawn the line before thisas it’s terrible and sounds like an Irish Jig too far.

24 Slipknot – Left Behind *Loud, proud and incomprehensible, but excellent.

19 Andrew WK – Party Hard *The 80s mullet is back and another energetic MTV2 track should be given alisten.

18 Limp Bizkit – Boiler *A bizarre video but another superb tune that deserved a Top 10 place butI suspect hasn’t had much airplay.

14 Corrs – Would You Be HappierOnly if they stopped making records.

5 Dandy Warhols – Bohemian Like You * !!!Finally! It took being used at the soundtrack to an advert to get it therecognition it deserved, but it’s a stonking rock track that commands yourattention.

1 Afroman: Because I Got High *3rd Week at No.1*
