You're just dying to know who's top of the pops this week, so let us tell you.

It's DJ Casper with 'Cha Cha Slide'. It's a song with a dance. Moving on, then...

Britney Spears gets bumped down to No. 2, while Jennifer Lopez (or whatever she calls herself these days) is the highest new entry at No. 3 with 'Baby I Love You'. Other entries in the Top 10 are Enrique (feat. Kelis) and Black Eyed Peas.

Fountains Of Wayne score by far their biggest hit with 'Stacy's Mom' charting at No. 11. Cor! Just below them is Jamie Cullum (boo), then the not-really-that-bad Phixx with their second single, 'Love Revolution'.

Further down at No. 20 and somehow Lionel Richie is let back in the charts with 'Just For You', which means he beats new entries from The Vines, Jet and some other rubbish. Oh, and Gomez are at No. 36. The dumper beckons.

Much akin to New Order and 'Blue Monday' back in 'the day', most heart-warming in this little tale is perhaps that of guitar genius Graham Coxon, whose fabulous 'Freakin' Out' enters the chart at No. 37 with sales of a vinyl-only release. We laugh in the face of your 3-track CD singles! Pffffff!

Surley the further down the chart you are the better your rep is? Cos loads of people on this site like to slate anything popular.

Therfore Gomez must in fact be the best thing about at the moment?! :o/

It was released in the UK for the first time on March 8th. I was originally going to be out in Sep when the album first came out here, but got put back and back... I guess they wanted to tour a bit longer in America and wait till they got the chance to promo it properly in the UK when they could get over here to do a short tour, radio sessions, record stuff for TV, do a loada interviews etc... Dunno why bands don't do that with Oz... maybe the UK is a harder nut to crack?

Er, Coxon's always sung like that, and I'm quite aware who Chris T-T is, thanks.

I heard what must have been that DJ Casper abomination on the radio this morning for about 3 seconds. Some bloke reading out dance steps over a formulaic euro-beat.

A truly, truly awful way to wake up.

Adie - you only wrote this article so you could tell everyone that FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE ARE AT NUMBER 11, didn't you? If so... good work.

Re: It's the Chart Roundup! Joy

Is there anyone on these pages who doesn't like Fountains of Wayne?
Anyone think that peddling the same, Weezer-lite music for the last 83 years is becoming a tad stale?

Discuss.

Re: It's the Chart Roundup! Joy

deaf people can still read.
blind people wouldn't read music sites for obvious reasons.

The UK singles chart. Was that not really really obvious?
