Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Beatfreakz:
Somebody’s Watching Me

3 (21) Beatfreakz – Somebody’s Watching Me

Classic Rockwell track, and a one-hit wonder, from February 1984 when it made No.6, drowned in stupiddance beats. Bleah!

Red Hot Chili Peppers:
Dani California
[Stadium Arcadium]

2 (12) Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California

A bit limp for a RHCP track, with a chorus that has a regular rise and fall in the pitch which remindsme of Katrina and the Waves’ ’80s hit Walking On Sunshine.

Gnarls Barkley: Crazy
[St. Elsewhere]

1 Gnarls Barkley – Crazy *6th Week at No.1*

Soulful-sounding single, used on BBC’s trails for Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show, which – just after a few weeksof downloads counting towards a chart place one week before the physical single release – has made charthistory by going straight to No.1 based on the download sales alone.

I could say this is the first single in a row, so to speak, to go straightin at No.1, but I doubt this is something that’s going to become a regularthing just yet.
