...it transpires that Aly & AJ didn't just fail to make the top 10, they missed the top 20: 'Potential Breakup Song' languishes at No 22, and that's with physical releases. Sadfaces all round. What doomy conclusions can we draw from this? Personally, I think if that song can't be a big hit, nothing of its ilk can, and the UK can officially be declared a pop wilderness.

On the plus side, that nasty Sex Pistols reissue thing is nowhere to be seen.

There was an interesting article in the Guardian by Mr Popjustice arguing that in the current climate the only way to really break pop acts is to repackage them and remarket them as Dance acts (or something that is Not Pop) - which explained the success of Robyn & Booty Luv.
