The Charts.

In a world where an A list at Radio One is vital for the success of a manufactured pop act, surely its game over for Girls Can't Catch, who's single "Echo" entered the chart at No. 19, at a time when its supposed to be easy to break into the singles chart.

It was A listed after all, and is in the top 30 airplay chart - so what went wrong, and how will the pluggers explain it away when they try and get support for the next single, if there is a next single.

Speaking of which, notice that despite Christmas rush - The Saturday's album "Wordshaker" has yet to go silver, which means its sold less than 60k copies. Look, this isn't a dig at Fascination, but why try and launch another girl band when the original isn't selling anymore?

Delphic, riding high after their appearance near the top of the BBC list of artists that are cool to like for-this-year-only, aka BBC Sound Poll, must be a bit miffed that the debut album has already dropped to 28 from 8. That's that then.

One last thought. Would you count Florence And The Machine as a guitar band? If not, then there's only ONE guitar band in the UK top 40 this week. Biffy Clyro's (aka Foo Fighters Lite) tear jerking "Many Of Horror" jumping from 38 to 20.
