The op figures refer to that tracks' ranking overall this year? I'll have to remember to go back and tick things I eventually get around to hearing at some point I guess.

Haha this is the worst week yet, right?

Slim pickings recently as Matt says - last week a bizarrely amazing aberration - and still P Diddy/Keyshia Cole didn't make the month's top 10 :(

I don't see what's SO bad about Calvin Harris -- isn't this just harmless to ok-ish? hataz: explain yrselves.

I don't hate it! But it is the worst thing there - I'd rate Maximo fairly similarly, a C or C plus maybe.

My real sekrit favourite this month might be Good Charlotte! (#11 after someone withdrew a ticky!)

WTF?

I have just youtubed Mel C: what were they thinking? I kind of like the sound they're going for with the brass and the swinging beat, a kind of sophisti-pop feel, but why go for bubblegum with it -- although I guess it must sound different if you don't have Bow Wow Wow playing over it in your head? Bring back the Northern Star days. She is still hot though ;-o

Bad fringe decision by our Melanie, however.
