Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

57 Madonna – American LifeAn import, presumably.

43 Harry – Under the Covers EPWho is this big-head-of-hair blonde? She’s been on many things like RI:SEand Liquid News and it clearly hasn’t helped her single, but then she doesn’tappear to have much talent.

20 Run DMC – It’s Tricky 2003The original was reasonable enough, but this unnecessary remix justbastardises it.

14 Erasure – Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)Apparently only available to buy for one week. Is that what they have to doto get some sales these days?

6 Daniel Bedingfield – I Can’t Read You :O ===Too loud and shouty. And why did he throw himself off stage when he firstperformed this on CD:UK?

2 Kym Marsh – CryBland and insipid. If this is the best she can come up with for a debut singlethen it’s a piss-poor do. It also sounds like so many other singles that havegone before.

1 (1) Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham – Make Luv :O === *3rd Week at No.1*

Everyone’s heard this track if they watch TV, for it’s the latest Lynxadvert in which a man starts dancing in a bar to a beat that starts smalland grows large, eventually being accompanied by two ladies including thegorgeous actress/model Rachel Grant.

As for the track, I liked it at first, but since hearing the original versionby Oliver Cheatham, “Get Down Saturday Night”, as featured on radiostation Fever 105 in the PS2 gameGrand Theft Auto: Vice Cityand the track itself goes on for nearly 8 minutes.

This is the 35th single in a row to go straight into the Top 40 at No.1 :

  • 13. Will Young – Light My Fire
  • 14. Elvis – A Little Less Conversation (remix)
