Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

40 Def Leppard – Long Long Way To GoWell, I hope they don’t make it to anywhere near me.

31 Meatloaf – Couldn’t Have Said It BetterAfter all the promotion for this single, perhaps he should realise that heshould actually do something original instead of trotting out all thepoor “Pandora’s Box” copyalikes that he did with the dreadful “I’d Do AnythingFor Love”, etc?

4 Robbie Williams – Come UndoneA cover of the Duran Duran track. Apparently the B-side is a specially-writtentrack, “Happy Easter (War is Coming)”. Er… bit late, Robbie.

2 Madonna – American LifeMadonna tries to be controversial for the sake of it and completely fails.She also re-shot the video so that it doesn’t feature too much war stuff. Yawn!

1 (1) Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham – Make Luv :O === *4th 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.
