Hoping for a Donna, JoJo, Danny top 3!

As someone who only followed the midweeks from 2009, this is very interesting to hear! I had no idea she started as low as 7. Going with Rihanna too. Eternal banger!

I know the shorter series probably secures a few of the bigger names but it would be so much better being a month long. I’m still hoping the regular series later this year will be extended by a couple weeks.

Obviously Mean Girls and White Chicks! They’re the first two that spring to mind. So many quotable moments!

CHART BATTLE REWIND Late August 2005 saw an extremely busy week of new releases from the likes of Simon Webbe, the Black Eyed Peas, Girls Aloud and the White Stripes - in fact there were 6 new entries in the top 10 and 11 in the top 20!! - but the real contenders for number one emerged as Oasis and Rihanna. Oasis released The Importance of Being Idle as the second single from their sixth album Don't Believe the Truth, following up their number one Lyla from earlier in the year. Meanwhile, Rihanna was launching her debut single, the dancehall-pop banger Pon de Replay, after it found huge success in the US. Oasis ended up winning the war, scoring their 8th number one(!) while Rihanna settled for a #2 debut, where it stayed for two weeks. But which is your number one? Vote above. Other chart battles: Kelly Clarkson vs Taylor Swift Timbaland vs Mark Ronson Alexandra Burke vs Robbie Williams Cascada vs Michael Jackson Geri Halliwell vs blink-182 The Shapeshifters vs Rachel Stevens Christina Aguilera vs DJ Sammy Atomic Kitten vs Destiny's Child Rage Against The Machine vs Joe McElderry Eric Prydz vs Girls Aloud vs Green Day Arctic Monkeys vs Biggie vs Will Young vs Beyonce Leona Lewis vs Take That Sonique vs S Club 7

Angel is nominated for an Ivor Novello for Best Contemporary Song! Massive for her!

I haven’t heard it but from fan reactions online I wouldn’t be surprised to see Plastic Box as the focus track. Is this the real Jade Room? Maybe they are teasing Natural Disaster?

That makes a lot of sense. The teaser does sound a bit Blood Orange-y.

Some forgotten gems in this batch! Going with Basshunter first.

U2

Kaiser Chiefs but all remaining are great.

Pete Tong.

CHART BATTLE REWIND Rewinding back 25 years now for a chart battle between rising dance queen Sonique and the pop group of the moment, S Club 7! Sonique originally released It Feels So Good back in 1998 where it only reached #24. But due to its success in the US, it received a UK re-release in May 2000, the same week S Club 7 were gearing up for the release of their much-anticipated Reach, a primary school disco staple in the early 00s. Sonique won the battle, blocking S Club 7 for THREE weeks straight and giving them their third consecutive #2 hit! But which is your number one? Vote above. Other chart battles: Kelly Clarkson vs Taylor Swift Timbaland vs Mark Ronson Alexandra Burke vs Robbie Williams Cascada vs Michael Jackson Geri Halliwell vs blink-182 The Shapeshifters vs Rachel Stevens Christina Aguilera vs DJ Sammy Atomic Kitten vs Destiny's Child Rage Against The Machine vs Joe McElderry Eric Prydz vs Girls Aloud vs Green Day Arctic Monkeys vs Biggie vs Will Young vs Beyonce Leona Lewis vs Take That
