I couldn't give 'Toxic' anything other than 10 as it is a 10/10 song, it's just been so overplayed (and continues to be) that I can't get any enjoyment from it anymore. But it'd be unfair to judge it on that! 'What You Waiting For' is indeed a storming pop great to lead a golden album era (although the less said about Gwen Stefani today the better)

I can't believe what a wasted opportunity this was. Although I wasn't exactly getting my hopes up.

OK then... whatever you say...

But I thought you were so vehemently against older songs being in the chart, why is this different?

I thought Confessions II might have a drop into the 30s this week, I'm really pleased with that!

I'm certainly hoping so! If so they've dropped the ball again not having it ready and striking when the iron's hot.

Madonna & Sab Carp Olivia Rodrigo

I really like 'This Is Love', it feels completely forgotten now though and something that was localised to be UK. I can't bear James Arthur's voice, give me the Shontelle original any day of any week. 'Payphone' is utter crap, a friend I went on holiday with at the time kept playing it constantly and it drove me mad.

It would've been interesting to see how it would've performed over 'Please Stay', I think it's gone on to be a lot more known and remember over time.

Meh

Will she be going by Melanie D now?

Pains me to say it (and this would probably shock anyone who knows me), but my interest in this era based on the two songs so far is nil

I like C'Mon a lot, I'm not totally convinced it was the right second single but I can see why they went with it... and I suppose the album had bombed from the off so it was going to be an uphill struggle whatever they chose. Boy Crazy is an absolute riot, soooo good! I'm not sure I'd have it quite as high as 16th but I shan't begrudge it.

Should be one of the summer's gay anthems!
