And to add to Hear'Say's misery, PPK get second highest new entry at three with Resurrection, leaving the infamous five at four with Everybody, and the rest of us with the knowledge that it's only a matter of time.

Kate ''oh my God, she's quite good at singing'' Winslet goes in at six with What If, which might just hang around for a sudden boost at Christmas. Not so for Geri, in at seven with Calling. Basement Jaxx go in at nine with the unspeakably brilliant Where's Your Heat At?

Both underachieving are NSync and Fragma, sitting rather uneasily in the top 30, with 'Gone and Say That You're Here' (respectively) at 24 and 25 (respectively respectively).
