Pop-Eye 28/01/01

Alex, it may be a matter of weeks in the UK, but it's a matter of *months* in the US (or has "Case Of The Ex" suddenly released its stranglehold on the top five without me being aware?).

Well, in your opinion this may not quite fit in with the name, but it's possible to talk more about the distinctions between charts for an American Pop-Eye: I imagine the R+B/rap chart might spark some interest (last I checked "Ms. Jackson" was #1 in it, so...).

Well look, let's settle this by saying - if you want to write something about January's Billboard charts, Nicole, then great, and e- mail me with it for next week's P-E (I do the page Tuesday morning). Say what you'd like to be in the poll, too. Cheers!

"Ms. Jackson" is #1 in Germany now. And that's in *the proper pop charts*. Anyone there fancy doing it for us :) ?
