How are Cowell 'n' co, Ke$ha and Calv doing?

There's quite a bit going on this week, so we'll ditch the dodgy jokes and get right down to it.

  • The 'Helping Haiti' single, as you've no doubt heard, is selling like baked confections served at the optimum temperature.


  • Owl City's 'Fireflies' has been shunted down to second place of course, but Timbo and KP's 'If We Ever Meet Again' is clinging onto its position in the top three.


  • "That Bloody Jedward Single, however, has slipped no fewer than seven places since Sunday.


  • Ke$ha's 'Blah Blah Blah' has crept into the top ten, while Marina's 'Hollywood' is holding onto its spot a couple of places outside.


  • Anyone else on the up? Well, Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' is now just outside the top 15, Calvin Harris's 'You Used To Hold Me' is a whisker outside the top 30 and GaGa's 'Telephone' has cracked the top 35.


  • Over on the albums chart, Massive Attack are battling Sade for the No.1 spot - there's only a couple of thou in it, apparently - with Alicia Keys making up the top three.


    • As ever, if you've got any specific requests for tomorrow, just drop them in the comments box below.

    Any questions for Adam Lambert?

    That's right, if the Gods of Pop keep smiling at us and all goes according to plan, tomorrow afternoon we're going to be interviewing Adam Lambert, the best thing to come out of AmIdol since, well, Simon Cowell's April '09 tax return. If you don't believe us, just head over to YouTube for a listen to a few of the whopping great tunes from his debut album and do it RIGHT NOW.

    Anyway, if you do have any particular questions for the fella-frenching glam-popper, just drop them in the box below and we'll do our best to ask as many of them as possible.

    (Oh, and no need to worry about the Mac vs. Chanel thing - we've got it covered.)

    What's Pixie Lott up to now then?

    Well, she's releasing a fourth single from her debut album - it's called 'Gravity' and it's a far more contemporary-sounding affair than its retro-flavoured predecessors - and she's given it a video in which she shows off the finest dance moves an Italia Conti education can teach a girl. Press play below to experience them for yourself - and to find out what Pixie looks like rocking a Catherine Zeta-in-Chicago-style wig.



    What do you think of 'Gravity'? Is it a good choice of single? Use the space below to have your say.

    EXCLUSIVE: Here's the Daisy single cover for you

    Guitar? Check! Rock chick eye makeup? Check! Courtney-style hole in fishnets? Check!



    But, well, let's hope Chipmunk's not feeling a bit sensitive this afternoon.

    Friday update: Jedward, Rihanna, Lady GaGa

    One last update before Sunday? Oh go on then, seeing as you asked nicely.

  • Owl City's still ahead of Jedward, but Timbo and KP have bumped the Glee cast out of the top three since yesterday.


  • Marina's holding onto her spot right outside the top ten, but Ke$ha's now looming behind her with 'Blah Blah Blah'.


  • Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' has managed to sneak back into the top 20.


  • We've got a feeling you lot are going to like this next one... 'Telephone' by GaGa and Bouncy is now inside the top 40.


  • Oh, and Alicia's still fending off Paolo at the top of the albums chart, with Andre Rieu overtaking Florence and Corinne to make up the top three.


    • Predicting next week's No.1 is about as taxing as a This Morning quiz question, but how many copies do you think the 'Helping Haiti' single is going to sell from Sunday to Saturday? (Here's what a well-informed man from HMV has to say on the matter.)
