A slight seven new entries, though it does include at least one potential condender for Our Lady Of The Umbrella's pop crown.

WOO for Amerie and R Kelly! I actually don't love 'Gotta Work' quite as much as some of the other songs on the album, or as much as others seem to, but it's still brilliant and rather unstoppable. The rollercoaster harmonies halfway through - "sometimes the world may seem too hard..." - and that final exclamation of "do it cos I LOVE IT!" especially.

'Same Girl' meanwhile = Brandy & Monica for boys, so they end up bro-ing down over it rather than circling each other and preparing to claw eyes out.

Haven't heard the rest but the only one I'm actually going to bother checking out is HSM; the others give me the fear.
