So, it's all change at the top end of the charts this week. The Comic Relief cover song, Spirit in the Sky, is finally toppled and now sits at No.2. The No.1 replacement? It's none other than the song featured in the latest Lynx advert, Make Luv by Room 5 ft Oliver Cheatham. It is not, as some people would have assumed, the new Westlife track, which actually only just managed to claim the No.3 spot over Mis-teeq who are at No.4. Shady Records' 50 Cent climbs one to No.8, whilst Coldplay enter at No.9 with Clocks, the third track from their platinum-selling album A Rush of Blood to the Head. The mighty Scooter, Kings of German techno music, are back with a stunning brand new single, 'Weekend', at No.12 this week - which is not bad considering they get no airplay and no advertisement space anywhere! Look out for their forthcoming album in a few weeks - it's been a long wait for a completely new album, but hopefully if the rest of the cut is anywhere near as good as Weekend it'll have certainly been worth it...

Blue's U Make Me Wanna loses its legs and plummets to No.13, proving to be the weakest performing song from their One Love album. Mariah Carey's reign as chart diva looks to be taking yet another battering, as her album-track Boy (I Need You), which ropes in US Rap Star Cam'Ron fails to make the ten, scraping in at No.17 instead. After the successful launch of Meteora, Linkin' Parks single Somewhere I Belong careers down from ten to No.18, US Rapper Nas enters at No.19 with I Can, Snoop 'Doggy' Dogg is in at No.23 and Hot Hot Heat wrap up the Top 25 with Bandages.

Despite Mick Hucknell's Simply Red having a substantial following, it proves to be nowhere near enough to halt the steam-roller that is manufactured Nu Metal group Linkin' Park from scaling the heights of the UK Album Chart with Meteora, their third album after Hybrid Theory and the dire remix album, Reanimated. Norah Jones is finally ousted from the top, at now resides at No.3, with the French-Canadian songstress Celine Dion entering at No.4 with One Heart - expect to hear her new single 'I Drove All Night' (a cover of Roy Oribison's hit perchance?) over the coming weeks. Daniel O'Donnell's Blue Jeans appear to be fading, as he drops two to No.5, yet thanks in-part to Mother's Day, Boyzone's ballad collection holds steady at No.6. After a shaky last album, nancy boys Placebo return to form with Sleeping With Ghosts entering at No.11.
