So for the last month or so, I've been trying to find the NME Singles Chart - it had disappeared from its weekly update on the NME website and no one would tell me why. Well, after poking around, I finally tracked it down on the MTV2 UK website. So, here is a little update on some of the songs on the chart this week ...
#1 Babyshambles - "Delivery": Ok, well, beyond the fact that I've always thought 'Babyshambles' was a terrible name for a band and I've never understood the head-over-heels love people have for Pete Doherty, "Delivery" is pretty uninteresting. Think Nirvana meets Clash but in an uninspired sort of way.
#2 Jack Penate - "Second, Minute or Hour": Another part of the "cute rock" revolution, but a big boring part. It pretty much sounds like throwback pop rock, sort of bouncy and dancy but lacking any substance - sort of like a male No Doubt. The video is kind of, er, cute.
Latest comment by: rkpetersen: "Pretty spot-on with your comments on most of these songs. Although I'm also looking forward to seeing The Hives! "
I guess I'm just a riddle wrapped in an enigma today.
For this week's NME update, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs take #1, but there are three new songs for us to enjoy...

Latest comment by: Jenni: "The Music are amazing. And Oasis revitalised music. So, I pretty much disagree with everything you said. And Biffy rock, they have their own sound. "
