This week:

For the first week in ages, REM are no longer top, with "Near Wild Heaven" dropping to #2 and "Aftermath" all the way to #7. The Boomtown Rats' classic Monday-hatred tune takes REM's place, and The Police, The Beatles and the Pet Shop Boys (x2) also have new high-ranking entries. USA For Africa, Travis and Weezer creep up the chart a little, and Gary Glitter, Blur, ELO and Pulp all slip slightly but still remain. Radiohead's "No Surprises", Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al", U2's "The Sweetest Thing", Oasis' "Whatever" and TMBG's "New York City" also stick around, and there's no getting rid of Queen, with "You're My Best Friend" Popping in this week.
