37. Bullet for My Valentine - 'Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow'
Gosh, I don't think my valentine would like a bullet. Although actually, come to think of it now, my valentine would be a certain Mr Blunt and he'd probably like a bullet because it would remind him of his days as a soldier. Bullet For My Valentine are yet another great rock band from Wales. What are they putting in the water in that country? Dawn says it is dead sheep!


34. Pendulum - 'Slam'
It is always good to see something different in the chart.




15. Hard-Fi - 'Living for the Weekend'
Hard-Fi were one of the lucky few groups nominated for a Mercury Music Prize recently. The terrific success of this song must go some way to cushioning the blow of them losing to the gay American man with the wig. Also, I can reveal the group come from Staines. I wonder if they have met Ali G, ha ha! He was also from Staines.




13. Damian Marley - 'Welcome to Jamrock'
If only Bob Marley were alive today to see how well one of his children is doing in the chart. I bet he is 'jamming' in heaven to this great reggae record. That's if Rastafarians go to heaven, I'm not sure. They do take a lot of drugs but I think it is for religious reasons, like their hair.




11. Stereophonics - 'Devil'
More Welsh rock doing very well in the chart. Stereophonics are the daddies of Welsh rock really, aren't they? And Tom Jones is the granddaddy. Charlotte Church is the niece.






9. Kelly Clarkson - 'Behind These Hazel Eyes'
A lot of people will probably say that there have been too many Pop Idol competitions, but without them, we would not have great pop singers like Kelly Clarkson or Will Young or Tabby. So I think there should be more of them. Or maybe there are just the right amount. Yes, probably we should keep it as it is.


5. Katie Melua - 'Nine Million Bicycles'
Katie is one of those stars who I think everyone likes, so it is no surprise she is at number 5 this week. If you have not bought this record then it is probably only because you haven't been able to go to the shops yet (possibly because you have had an accident).


4. Franz Ferdinand - 'Do You Want To'
Well, I bet that the men in Franz Ferdinand (I do not call them boys because they have deep voices) must be very surprised that after they have been away for so long, they can come back and still be remembered by people so fondly that those people send them to number 4 in the chart. I am surprised too.


2. Kanye West ft Jamie Foxx - 'Gold Digger'
Even though rapper Kanye West made hurtful comments about George Bush, it seems that people in Britain have forgiven him or just don't mind all that much because they have all bought this song. They may have bought it because it has the man who played the dead blind star Ray Charles, in the film 'Ray', singing on it. I went to see that film and his acting was so good it could have been a documentary (only with all the boring bits taken out).

With all the hoo ha surrounding Kate Moss sniffing her crack, I think people may have forgotten that she has a young boyfriend who is at a very impressionable age and is very likely to copy her behaviour if she is not careful. Pete Doherty of the two groups Babyshambles and The Libertines has his whole life ahead of him and would do well to steer clear of a wild child like Moss, no matter how pretty she is.
It is all very well for rich supermodels to take illegal nose dust, because they can probably afford it and don't need to do much the next morning. Pete, on the other hand, needs to stay healthy and fit so as not to disappoint his fans by playing a lacklustre concert or one where he is out of his mind on I don't know what. I have seen too many rock stars like Kurt Cobain and Marti Pellow ruin themselves on drugs and I would not like to see it happen again.
