I can see everyone sighing in relief that this week's #1 is no longer Justin Timberlake. Is anyone even disappointed that he's knocked off? #1 goes to the current King of Mandopop, Jay Chou who sold 1.8 million copies of his album in the past week or so. And I think there'd be about another 1 million other people who downloaded his album, and know the songs better than me. Gosh, if they like the album so much, why don't they buy it! Anyway, the spectacular duet between Fei Yu Qing and Jay Chou gives the track the novelty and selling point to make the first track off every Jay CD such a highly anticipated event in the Chinese Pop scene.



At #2 and #3 is My Love and Sexyback respectively. Is Justin Timberlake the new Usher? Sexyback is #1 on Billboard for a fourth week, #2 in the UK after having peaked at #1, and also holds firm at #2 after peaking at #1 on the Australian singles chart. Before I can wonder if he's even begun to make the video for the song, My Love has already taken a 60 notch leap from #89 to #29 on Billboard. It's further proof that I'm not biased and the track's fast gaining popularity elsewhere! I also need to mention that his album has sold 684,000 in its first week in the US, while it took Aguiler'a album is in its 5th week and has sold 694,000, and Beyonce has sold 702,000 in 2 weeks. JT will trump both of them next week for sure!



At #4 is Beyonce with Ring The Alarm. The track shows her back in form with plenty of screaming and Destiny's-Child-lyrics. I love it! It's far more interesting than the snooze-fest of Deja Vu, which gives me deja vu of her previous glorious tracks (Crazy In Love) but never actually hits the spot. I'd like to see her retain the essence that is Destiny's Child, because let's face it - no one else could've written and outperformed Bootylicious. The video is not as good though - it seems that every video for the songs from B'Day are destined to be rubbish. I love Beyonce but she really needs to work out some of her issues. Photos are self-explanatory.



If I have to beg, I will do it now. Please give Janet a freaking chance! At #13 this week, and being honoured with the title of highest new entry, is Ms Jackson with So Excited. Sure, the world's watching after she slimmed down about a 100kg to her current lovely figure, but if she's going to release such NON-EVENTS like Call On Me, no one's going to care! I've already heard a lot of bad stuff about her new CD, and I'm just too scared to listen to it. I read on a forum that someone had this to say, "Forget the pedophilia charges, booby incidents, LaToya's Playboy spread, and the abusive father... 20 Y.O. is the worst thing the Jackson name has been associated with." Harsh. The video for So Excited is fucking hot though, starring her boobs who are playing hide-and-seek just behind her hands. However, So Excited is a brilliant dance track that needs some love. So GIVE IT.

At #14 is a track to watch out for. We all know that spoken verses are all the rage nowadays. You can hardly call them singing (nor rapping!)- the things you hear in Promiscuous, London Bridge, Sexyback, maybe Rudebox - which was probably pioneered by I'm A Slave 4 U. Long Way 2 Go is Cassie telling you that it ain't easy to get into her pants, and she's not tempted despite your "skills in the bedroom", and you've got a long way to go before you'll get her.



You should never listen to a sexy, innovative dance track by Madonna or Justin Timberlake before you hear Wei Wu Du Zun(#17). As long as you don't commit that mistake (like I did), you'll like the track! It's cool in its own way, with a thundering bassline and Jolin's sugar-coated voice singing the melody - cliche, standard Jolin, but I can never get enough of it.

At #18 is a track that will only get you on a high if you've watched Fast and Furious - Tokyo Drift. Despite the lack of a music video, anyone who's watched that movie will conjure images of sexy Japanese girls, hot cars and cool dudes in a carpark revving their engines and pumping their egos for an adrenaline-pumping race. It's so powerful that it gives this track purpose and has moved it's reputation from underground rap-track to constant rotation on the airwaves of 987. Amazing.

I have to add that the Perfect 10 chart sucks big time.

New tracks to introduce this week are The Wreckers - Leave The Pieces, John Mayer - Waiting On The World To Change, Jessica Simpson - I Belong To Me, Josh Groban - You Are Loved (Don't Give Up) and All Saints - Rock Steady. The All Saints are back ya'll!
