I think Miss Clarkson will be making her way into the Top 50 soon, Breakaway is looking like it's charting Top 5 this weekend, which raises her sales to over 200,000 if I'm not mistaken.

I've got the ones in italics. I'll probably buy the Gorillaz tomorrow; it's really good to see so many proper artists in the list, rather than rubbishy boy bands like Westlife (apologies to any Westlife fans).

Yes, that's true. They really are banal aren't they? Although I still think they have the edge over the truly awful Steve Brookstein.

Yeh, Hard-Fi's album is top drawer and full of great tracks! From the opening track (Cash Machine) all the way to the end track (Stars of CCTV) there is a special album.

Hard To Beat
Living for The Weekend
Middle Eastern Holiday
Feltham is Singing Out

My favorites!


Even though the singers are chavs who start on the camera in there video... they can sing very well.
