Chart Report - 04/01/09
What with Christmas and everything, it's been a little while since we Top 5 High 5-ed, which is probably no bad thing, given the intensity of feeling there was surrounding Alexandra and her 'Hallelujah' cover. The shouting was really quite fierce for a while there.
Now we've all had a chance to calm down, how is everyone doing? Would you like to slap the screen in approval or slap the faces of the individuals in the Top 5?
Here there are in talkywordingform, in case you don't recognise the hitmakers in question:
1: Alexandra Burke - 'Hallelujah'
2: Leona Lewis - 'Run'
3: Lady Gaga ft. Colby O'Donis - 'Just Dance'
4: Beyonce - 'If I Were A Boy'
5: James Morrison & Nelly Furtado - 'Broken Strings'
Be warned though, the more people shout about Simon Cowell ruining the race for the Christmas No.1, the more tempted I am to go back through the list of previous festive chart-toppers and point out that it had already been comprehensively ruined by Westlife, the Spice Girls, Bob The Builder and so on.
So, are we happy or are we sad?

2 out if 5 not being appauling is ok for nowadays i suppose.....
Beyonce (and her people) show that you dont need to warble over/ruin a classic to get radio play. Writting is good, catch song is the best start !!! no real need for the vocal gymnastics of LL (which are quite frankly terrible), and imo AB is a poor mans LL.................
Broken strings , brilliant song !!!

I'll high 5 four of them. Only Hallelujah isn't brilliant out of them and, while she CAN sing, she CAN'T sing well enough for no. 1 fame. If she wasn't on X-Factor but was a singer she could have been top 5 easily but not no. 1
