Flo Rida bags the number one spot with a Dead or Alive sample, the Saturday's Comic Relief effort has to settle for second place.

[Poll #1362347]

Lower reaches watch: dudes have finally realised that the version of Beggin' on that advert isn't by Madcon at all and have accordingly bumped up the Frankie Valli version up to #47; Ladyhawke, Annie Lennox and Red Light Company are all hovering just outside the top 40.

Yeah, "Halo" is totally "Umbrella" part-whatever (as in massive single word hook songs about things you wear over your head, etc.). Problem for me is, I don't like the "Halo" concept much, as object of sarcasm or praise or whatever (not that I've paid close attention to what she does with it); I initially thought the chorus was "Do you hate love?" which I prefer.

The Pussycat Dolls' 'Halo' works the concept much more interestingly I think - Scherzinger in the role of fallen angel is definitely preferable to imagining Jay-Z with a halo.
