That Simply Red song is a horrendous cover. I'm amazed it made the Top 10.

[George Tropicana]

Wow, just when atomickittenaloud was writing off Gareth Gates, his teary video for "Say It Isn't So" maintains his 100% Top 5 strike.

However, that is probably because he's riding off Will Young/Pop Idol fans who bought the single when they bought Will's album. I hope Gareth's album resurfaces.

[ListenToMe]

Dido's album has so far stayed in the top 3 ever since its release (10 weeks ago), and looks set to keep there for the rest of the year! Chart run: 1-1-1-1-2-3-1-3-3-2 :o

[Chromeozone]

When does "Too Lost In You" come out in the UK? Might it be another #1?

[pophector]

Released on December 15

Atomic Kitten featuring Kool & The Gang - Ladies' Night
Blue featuring Stevie Wonder & Angie Stone - Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
Fast Food Rockers - I Love Christmas
Lisa Maffia - Women Of The World
Sugababes - Too Lost In You
The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)
The Idols - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Travis - The Beautiful Occupation
Wyclef Jean featuring Missy Elliot - Party To Damascus

I predict top 3 at best, lower top 10 atleast... as for airplay, TLIY will easily reach #1 as HITH was #1 for 5 weeks!

It also went to #2 in Australia. I can see why its been a hit internationally, its a great song, very catchy. I cant see why it bombed in the US though!?

One word: Recurrentitis.

"Shut Up" is even top 5 in Canadian airplay.

?! Since when did a song have to be a hit in the US to be a hit internationally?
