Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

12 Blondie – Good BoysAnother attempt at a comeback and not one they’ve got the tunes to backit up with.

10 Fast Food Rockers – Say CheeseOh, purlease!

9 Texas – Carnival GirlThe band go ‘rap’ with the stupidly-named Kardinal Offishall.

Oh, Chris Evans, why did you bother to help resurrect their dead career whenthey came back with “Say What You Want” and you played it to death?

2 Beyonce – Baby BoyFor once, I’m glad the B.E.P. are still at the top, as I can’t stand anyof the wannabe-Tina-Turner’s tuneless wailing.

1 (1) Black Eyed Peas – Where is the Love *6th Week at No.1*

Originally I asked, “Who?”

Thanks to Matthew Dixon who replied: “Black Eyed Peas are ahip hop group from the US. They’ve not had any singles before now that haveeven gone Top 30, but this one features Justin Timberlake, so it was boundto be a hit.”
