Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

James Blunt: High
[Relentless]

16 James Blunt – High

I’m going to give this dull singer the benefit of the doubt with this track as last week’s charthad him down as going straight in at No.74.

Was this some freak of download sales getting in the way?

Rachel Stevens:
I Said Never Again
[Come And Get It]

12 Rachel Stevens – I Said Never Again

After her disastrous performance on ‘Dick & Dom in Da Bungalow’ where she left before the reallymuck-muck part of the show kicked in, they’ve taken the piss out of her weekly on a week-by-week basisand hence she deserves to miss the Top 10.

Depeche Mode: Precious
[Playing The Angel]

4 Depeche Mode – Precious

At first, I was of the impression that after 4 years away from performing new material, was thisthe best thing they could come up with? I figured it’s rather tedious and after listening to someof their classic ’80s tracks recently, it’s pitiful by comparison.

Then, soon after, it really hit home and turned out to be rather bloody good and, while far from aclassic, is on a par with many of their most enjoyable tracks.

Robbie Williams: Tripping
[Intensive Care]

2 Robbie Williams – Tripping

The first new single since last Xmas and it’s dreadful. Aside from the crappy rappy bit in the middle,none of it scans or goes together and when he was on TOTP he was straining to hit the high notes(no change there as at a concert he always gets the audience to do it for him)

And afterwards, on his first TOTP appearance with this single, Fearne Cotton, accompanied by the gingerhandlebar-moustauched arse from Destination Three, couldn’t hide her lies when she proclaimed how catchyit was. Yeah, right(!)

Sugababes: Push the Button
[Taller In More Ways]

1 Sugababes – Push the Button *2nd Week at No.1*

It didn’t deserve to be No.1 as it’s such bog-standard pop fare, and blandeven by their standards.

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

    1. McFly – I’ll Be OK
    2. Oasis – The Importance of Being Idle
    3. Gorillaz – Dare
    4. Pussycat Dolls – Don’t Cha
    5. Sugababes – Push the Button
