Well, whaddaya think about them pop charts? We’ve got a few new entries into the Top 10 this week (yes, the week’s almost over). Let’s take a look…

1. Beyonce Knowles/Shakira - Beautiful Liar: Proof that the combined hip-shaking power of these uber-babes can hold off a vast array of pop-rock talent! If they used their powers for good, they could gyrate for world peace! How noble…
2. Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough: - Old school 90’s rock delivered by one of the best bands of their generation, and an unexpected collaboration with Nina Persson from The Cardigans.
3. Gym Class Heroes - Cupid’s Chokehold: Cupid’s Chokehold has risen about 5 places since last week. I suspect the novelty is wearing off - it’s not getting the level of airplay I would have expected.
4. Timbaland - Give It To Me: Still can’t get enough of this song. Timbaland definitely has the magic touch when it comes to chart-topping R&B material.
5. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend: Strangely, the buying power of zillions of teen girls hasn’t propelled Girlfriend to the top of the charts, but it’s still hanging in there. Down a couple of places from last week though.
6. Ne*Yo: Still refusing to rate this rubbish. Can we stop buying his records now? Please?
7. Mika - Love Today: Yay Mika! This guy is the champion of quirky pop music in the UK today. Let’s hope he keeps on shaking things up!
8. Mark Ronson - Stop Me: Stop Me is slowly slipping out of the Top 10 right now, but Mark’s riding a wave of publicity for his new album Version.
9. Groove Armada - Get Down: Just bloody awful.
10. HelloGoodbye - Here (In Your Arms): I could try to be charitable, but I think these guys are going to be one hit wonders in a couple of weeks….

Anyone else notice the sharp fall from grace of the mighty Monkeys and Brianstorm? One week in the top ten and straight back out again (they’re at #15 this week). That’s woeful.

Predictions for next week? I think it’ll be all change this week as a lot of entries are starting to slip. I’d welcome some fresh blood, if only to see the back of bloody Ne*Yo!
