Perhaps taking a page out of the success of the Pussycat Dolls with their highly-produced upbeat songs, the Sugababes hit the chart with their sassy-sounding 21st single - 'Denial'.
Craig David seems to have succumbed to one of the most pernicious diseases going around the music world at the moment: Jossstone-itis.
Only just recovering from the so-called non-event that was 'nipplegate', Janet's next offering unto the popworld was never going to be risqué in any fashion. But just how bland could she get?
Sister act Cherish are trying their luck at chart success with the simply-written 'Do It To It', featuring Sean Paul of the Youngbloodz, for the name rather than any particular lyrical talent.
Fergie (aka Stacy Ferguson from the Black Eyed Peas) is trying her hand at a solo career with the launch of her first solo single, London Bridge. Taken from the album 'The Dutchess', it's a fairly standard chunky R&B song, with a catchy lyric and gratuitous swearing (in the dirty version, at least). But what the devil is a 'London bridge'?
Kelis rose to recognition with the wonderfully catchy 'Milshake', and now she's back, proving that following something successful is always difficult. Her first single from the album 'Kelis Was Here', is ballsy, with defiant lyrics and in-your-face attitude. Does it wash?
Perrenial funk-pot Beyoncé Knowles is back with prior collaborator Jay-Z for 'Deja-Vu', first single from the album 'B'Day'. It is as good as the last time these two worked together in 'Crazy in Love'?
Hot from the US billboard chart, Cassie's latest R&B offering is trying its luck on the UK charts. It's the first single from her eponymous album, and it's called 'Me & U'. Is it just another bland R&B love song?
When the video first kicks off, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was a trailer for a cheap, low-budget action/suspense film from somewhere in the mid-1980's. But you'd be wrong. This is the second single from Rihanna's album, A Girl Like Me. And it's absolutely terrible.
