Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

10 Erasure – Solsbury HillA cover of the classic Peter Gabriel track, updated for a new generationand quite a decent one too. Good to see Erasure back in the charts. Let’s hopethey can make some decent music this time.

2 Electric Six – Danger High VoltageAn allegedly German couple, although some have said they’re actuallyAmerican, in which love is likened to being electrified, nicely.

This track is funny for a few minutes while you watch the video for the firsttime and the singers’ underwear light up, but after that it’s not somethingyou’ll return to.

When they were on CD:UK, any under-garment comedic references were not included,rather cancelling out the point of them being there, and they showed aseemingly frustrated man on stage who just couldn’t wait to get to the end ofthe performance.

1 (1) Girls Aloud – Sound of the Underground *4th Week at No.1*

The girls song, also a cover version as some other girlband, Orchid, sangon it first. Rumour has it their vocals are in the background too. Eitherthat, or it’s another “Milli Vanilli” scandal.

This is the 30th single in a row to go straight into the Top 40 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
  • 6. Gareth Gates – Unchained Melody
  • 7. Oasis – The Hindu Times
  • 8. Sugababes – Freak Like Me
  • 9. Holly Valance – Kiss Kiss
  • 10. Ronan Keating – If Tomorrow Never Comes
  • 11. Liberty X – Just a Little
  • 12. Eminem – Without Me
  • 13. Will Young – Light My Fire
  • 14. Elvis – A Little Less Conversation (remix)
  • 15. Gareth Gates – Anyone of Us
  • 16. Darius – Colourblind
  • 17. Sugababes – Round Round
  • 18. Blazin Squad – Crossroads
  • 19. Atomic Kitten – The Tide is High
  • 20. Pink – Just Like a Pill
