and 24 going down. Big fallers include:
New entries from No.41-75 :
Peter Kay used to be a funny man, but after he finished Phoenix Nights and went onto Max & Paddy’s Road To Nowhere, it’s clearthat the other writers of PN, Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice, were the ones that wrote all the funny lines so no wonder they’llno longer work with him since he claimed all the credit.
“Britain’s Got the Pop Factor” may be well observed but The X-Factor is a spoof that didn’t need spoofing, since it continuallysends itself up with the way it behaves.
Still, there’s one born every minute. A lot of people bought the single by Katy Perry in which she pretended to be a lesbian,and now lots of people have bought this joke-free song. God knows why.
The only plus is that it got higher than the single from X-Factor Leon “where has he been?” Jackson.
Sweet About Me
[Lessons To Be Learned]
Quite a decent, jaunty little track and one that sounds like an old Motown tune.
Click here to see the video
[Rock ‘n’ Roll Jesus]
Lazy dance-ish track to the tune of Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London.
[Let It Go]
Hmmm… he normally does fairly decent tracks since he shook off the ‘PopIdol’ beginnings, but this track started off okay and then just didn’t seemto know which musical direction to head off in!

Rather average and, wot, no fit women in much of the video??
[Year of the Gentleman]
Predictable and uninteresting.

[Viva La Vida…]
Yaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! What a bunch of pompous, stuck-up arseholes!
This track made No.1 originally based on downloads alone, but it’s rather mediocre anddidn’t deserve the top slot.
[One of the Boys]
“Oh, look, I’m pretending to be a lesbian”. Bollocks.

[Chasing Lights]
Ah, The Saturdays. Good to look at, and they were on Something for the Weekend recently. Watch here:

Sex On Fire
[Only By the Night]
Great band. Not a bad track, either and great to see them at the top slot.Certainly more deserved than most things that get there.

[Funhouse]
So what, indeed?
Infinity 2008
Although the 80s is my decade of great music, I was at Uni from 1990-93, and in the first year the original track of this was out and about all over the place and it was fantastic. Great to hear a remixed version!
1990 was, most definitely, time for the Guru. Now 2008 should be as well but too often there’s some stupid lyrics being spoken here which breaks theflow of the track which was only ever meant to be an instrumental!

[Out of Control]
Where’s the hook in this song? It’s as bad as Will Young’s “Changes” in that it just goes all over the place.
Click here for the video
[Day and Age]
Sometimes The Killers’ music can be a bit samey, and this comes across as rather a carbon copy of ‘Read My Mind’ but it’salways listenable so this is worth hearing, but not Top 5 material.

Charity single featuring the X-Factor people. Great cause, crap song.
