My number one is so much better than anything else on Lucie Silvas' new album which is a shame really, as is her duet with Marco Borsato. Instead the UK gets the tedious "Sinking In". Here's Reamonn and Lucie's performance on The Dome.

Never been a massive fan of 14 year old Amy Diamond but her new single is such a sweet little song and she is actually really amazing live - check out this performance on Bingolotto.

My number three is Star Academy runner-up Dominique. I'm living in France at the moment so I got hooked on this at the end of last year. It's everything a great reality show should be and 10x better than Fame Academy. This girl was actually in Italy's version of Popstars and got in the winning band Lollipop. But she is actually really good. Lovely voice, absolutely stunning girl and she is a really good performer. Watch her doing 4 Non Blondes "What's Up" here.

The Energies at number 5 is a British guy whose last single "Beyond The End" sadly missed the top 200. They sound a bit like Deepest Blue.. because it was produced by the same guy. Here's the vid and the single is out January 29th.

At number eight, Dutch duo Dance Nation who finally get round to releasing their Benassi Bros sounding Barthez rip-off "Move Your Love" in the UK next month

Starting Rock is an amazing David Guetta sounding floorfiller, sounds like a monster to me.

Michael is another ex-Star Ac contestant who's just come out with this great 80s electro sounding choon "All Alone With Your Gueule"

And finally Emilia is back with a beautiful lovely song in Swedish called "Var Minut"

Brand new number one from Russia's 2006 Eurovision entrant - although the song has been around for a while, I've only just discovered this track which was also in the running for ESC last year. Very poppy!

In at 3 are Big Brovaz. Nothing they've done recently has been much cop but their new single is a return to form. Particularly like the dance mix that sounds like Booty Luv. American Idol's Katharine McPhee enters at 4 with her JoJo rip-off. Jeden at 14 is France's new answer to Usher. Hellogoodbye is a Popjustice fave. Nevio was on Germany's Idol show and is new in the German top 3 this week.

Was Emilia the big big girl in a big big world (and it wasn't a big big thing if you left her)?

I'm fond of 'Grace Kelly' (well it's my #1... but don't know anything else from the chart, although I've heard of Leona Lewis and avioded her on general principle

[AcerBen]

Yes indeed it was ! She's made a big comeback in Sverige singing in Swedish. Check out the vid on Youtube, it's a really lovely song.

I know, a lot of my stuff is really random but i find most UK chart stuff dull

Not heard the BB track yet, have been a fan in the past though.

[AcerBen]

definitely a return to form
