Another Year In Pop: 44

The X Factor chaps have knocked Girls Aloud off the top spot. Get used to it - they're sure to be hanging around for a while.

[Poll #1290378]

Halloween bonkers re-entry effect: as well as Jacko, Ray Parker Jr's 'Ghostbusters' is straight in at 49, and the Monster Mash is at no.60!

Bonus mistakenly downloaded track watch: Mariah and Enrique's completely separate and different (sort of) 'Hero' songs are at 80 and 93, and the Chris Cornell song from the last Bond film is at 86. Oh dear, there must be a fair few 79ps gone down the drain there!

Ah, I had no idea.* I just YouTubed it and I way prefer the Dylan version (sorry Kat)(I found a live one here). He makes the song feel like a funny shaggy dog, even though in form and style it's standard ol' blues-pop whimper.

Garth Brooks also had a #1 country hit with it in 1998! Billy Joel's version hit #50 on the Hot 100 a year earlier.

There's a Brian Ferry version too.
