Gaga and Beyoncé's video epic has done the trick: 'Telephone' climbs up to #1 and The Fame gets the top album spot. Otherwise a quiet week, especially for poor old Goldfrapp (down to #76 already, yikes).

[Poll #1541460]

Remember to go and vote in Heat #8 of 2005, which closes tomorrow.

Top ten looks pretty good for once but sadly I have only heard two of the songs (Ellie Goulding and Rihanna, so RiRi gets the vote) so may be impaired on the assessment side of things.

Not as awkward as his Q&A with Grimmie on BBC Switch last night, where he ended up coming on to his own UK PR lady.

He is 16 now, not 15. But still. *squirm*

Er hang on, the interview must have been with Reggie Yates on the Chart Show rather than w/ Grimshaw on Switch. Soz for any confusion there. The main point stands though.

You will savor this interchange featuring Disney heartthrob Sterling Knight; gets real interesting at about 1:20:



(And here's his single; he's not much as a singer, but this has a good chorus; song credits include Niclas Molinder and Joacim Persson who co-wrote Ashley Tisdale's excellent "Not Like That.")

As one of the few people here who thinks the boy is any good at all and have been blurbing his songs ever since they started nibbling the charts last summer here in the USA, I don't mind him at all: he's got an easy way with the melodies and never tries to come on too strong, but usually suffers from mediocre material. This is how I blurbed him here last week:

Justin Bieber "Baby": Sweet-voiced young'un who doesn't push too hard - though maybe he should have pushed a tad harder to get this bit of Tricky-Terius landscaping to rise above pleasant. But pleasant it is. BORDERLINE TICK.

His best song is "One Time," another Tricky-Dream production. It's gotten 55 million views on YouTube so far; I hear he's popular with the girls.

Kat, you seem ambivalent up top as to whether this is week 11 or week 12, but I definitely choose week 12.

The One Time video is extraordinary for its 34780904289 forms of product placement in the first three seconds. (XBox! iPhone! Usher -oh, wait) It's sort of pleasant enough but feels weak with his reedy little voice. He's no Lil Chris.

But then I am a massive grump.

Also in all fairness this is how I feel about all of The Dream's output that doesn't involve Electrik Red/Mariah Carey/Rihanna.

I prefer "Baby" to "One Time". But it's no more than a 5/10.

I quite like "Baby", I find it incredibly earwormy! But I was disturbed to realize this Justin Bieber person is like 12 or something.
