Gaga is still on top; Noisettes, AR Rahman and Metro Station enter the top 10; Lily Allen's current singles sit side by side at 16 and 17.

[Poll #1374776]

Lower reaches watch: Miley Cyrus' 'Climb' is doing just that, Gels Alahd and Nickelback jump 80-odd places each and the return of Formula One motor racing to the BBC prompts the re-entry of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' at no.94.

Top 10 watch: Last week you lot voted Taylor Swift as your favourite song in the top ten. Taylor got more than twice as many votes as 2nd-placed TI despite that dreadful dress she's wearing in the video. Well done Taylor!

Noisettes - rinky-dinky keyboards, twee amateurish girly vocals. I feel we have been here before. WTF do people see in this shit? It's not even that catchy.

'Show Me Love' - ughhh endless annual reissues of classic dance tracks, why are there so many of these? This doesn't ruin it I guess, and at least there's a great Geeneus funky house remix doing the rounds too.

Lily Allen - I don't find the lyrical sentiment that obnoxious, really, but the execution is pretty ham-fisted. "I think you're really mean, I think you're really mean" - Lily, you are supposed to be a wisecracker and a wit, this is just not good enough! I want bons mots and caustic, unanswerable put-downs, not playground taunts. Also the line about the wet spot is just a bit "ew, TMI".

KIG - AWESOME, finally. WATCH ME CONFUSE THE DANCE NOW. You have not lived until you've done this.

White Lies - bog standard indie, terrible singer

J-Hud - an odd choice of single - 'My Heart' and 'I'm His Only Woman' are much better - but it's OK I guess

Asher Roth - the actual worst single of the year is upon us, what an abomination this is :(
