Ladies and gentlemen, the Quo

Most boggling statistics here - REM and the Manics have had over 35 hit singles EACH! Slowly declining fanbases are the limescale of the charts.

So our hand-wringing the other month about TEH DEATH OF POP OH NO was a load of bollocks, wasn't it, in the light of a) news that Xtina is working with Rich Harrison, b) and Paris Hilton with Scott Storch, c) excellent new Sugababes album (which features GLAM and CRUNK and Franz Ferdinand basslines and a string-soaked finale, d) amazing new Rachel Stevens album (even the lame trip-hop at the end is growing on me), e) the fucking incredible new Britney tracks.

I can put "f) the tATu album" in there when someone makes me a copy, ahem ahem.

Oh and g) Jacques Lu Cont doing the Madonna album ie it might not be quite as bad as we'd assumed because if there's one man who can redeem her in 2005 it's him.

Even Goldcrapp don't seem quite so bad now that I've heard the Tiefschwarz remix of 'Ooh La La' which is slightly mind-blowing.
