  :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-2476942-1286197781.jpeg.jpg)   If we cast our minds back to Autumn 2008, in an age before streaming became prevalent and chart races were a thing. Download sales were steadily increasing and the pop landscape was dominated by female pop stars. The likes of Pink and Katy Perry had just enjoyed a month each at #1 and The X Factor of that year was dominated by female contestants. In the first week of November, five pop girls - four of them, major - released their lead singles simultaneously, allowing the media to dub the chart race "Diva Week". Let's revisit all of the contenders and vote/discuss the songs on offer. |

Best song: The Boy Does Nothing
Best video: If I Were A Boy Best cover: Forgive Me Least favourite song: Keeps Gettin' Better Bought: If I Were A Boy, Womanizer, Forgive Me (funnily enough I didn't love TBDN at the time haha) Favourite artist: Leona Lewis I'm glad Bey, Britney and Alesha all managed to eventually peak higher than where they landed that week. I think TBDN deserved a top 3 peak but managing to bag a #5 hit was amazing enough for Alesha. |

Womanizer was iconic. Britney is my fave of those artists too.

Beyoncé for Song
Britney for Video Leona by default for Cover Christina for least fave but is still a 7/10 (FM is one of Leonas song I still quite like tbh) I didn't buy any of the singles but I do own Sasha Fierce and Christina''s GH which has KGB on it. Britney is my favourite overall artist out of those. 2.Christina 3.Beyoncé 4 Alesha 5 Leona. This was such a exciting week and it was annoying we didn't manage to get them all top 10 at the time!

This week
 One of my fave ever chart weeks of all time, iconic <3Best song: this is tough but I'm gonna go with Womanizer (Womanizer/IIWAB/TBDN are my favourite song by all 3 of these artists, Keeps Gettin' Better is an absolute bop & underrated af and in my top 5 Xtina songs. All four of those are 10/10's! <3 Forgive Me is also a bop but I never really listen to it anymore, ironically that might've been my fave for a short time in '08) Best video: Womanizer (I STILL watch it nowadays) Best cover: The Boy Does Nothing (I love it *.* I thought Womanizer had a better cover than that haha, the others are all nice but nothing great) Least favourite song: Forgive Me (see above) Bought: Forgive Me, The Boy Does Nothing, Womanizer 100%, I think I might own both the other 2 but not 100% sure, lemme vote for them anyway x Favourite artist: Brit <3 |

This was such an amazing, exciting chart week! And I love how Alesha's turned out to be this big, when she was clearly the one with the least profile.
Best song: The Boy Does Nothing Best video: Womanizer Best single cover: If I Were A Boy Least favourite: Forgive Me (KGB is definitely one of my favourite Christina songs, but I never got into Forgive Me, very disappointing comeback release for me) Bought: Womanizer, The Boy Does Nothing (but I did buy all of the five albums these songs were featured on) Favourite artist: Britney Spears |

The Boy Does Nothing was very uplifting and always urges me to put on my dancing shoes.
