How are SuBo, P.Kay and GaGa doing today?

Right then, who's got room for another hearty plateful of charty goodness?

  • Peter Kay and his Animated All Star Band are still holding off the X Factor finalists at the top, while Jason Derulo's replaced Black Eyed Peas in third position.


  • Lady GaGa remains in the top five with 'Bad Romance', but Rihanna's pretty much goosing her with 'Russian Roulette' now.


  • Mariah's 'I Want To Know What Love Is' is now just outside the top 15, while Pixie Lott's 'Cry Me Out' is tucked a couple of places inside the top 20.


  • Over on the albums chart, Lady GaGa remains just outside the top five, Rihanna's dropped a couple more places off from the top ten, and Mariah's still inside the top 15.


  • Janet Jackson's in the top 25, but there's no sign of the Alesha Dixon reissue in the top 40.


  • Hmm... haven't we forgotten something? Ah yes, The Unstoppable SuBo Selling Machine! Well, her album's now shifted more than... wait for it... 195,000 copies.


  • As ever, if you've got any requests for the next update, just drop them in the box below and we'll respond to as many as possible on Friday.

    Not just SuBo, but P.Kay, GaGa and RiRi too!

    We all know a certain sweet-voiced spinster from Scotland's selling rather a lot of albums, but how's everyone else doing in today's midweeks? Well, you've certainly come to the right place to find out.

  • It's a battle of the charity tracks at the top, with Peter Kay's Animated All Star Band on course to knock the X Factor Finalists off No.1.


  • Lady GaGa's 'Bad Romance' has zoomed into the top five, right ahead of Ke$ha's 'TiK ToK'.


  • SuBo's 'Wild Horses' is just inside the top ten on single-track downloads from the album, while Rihanna's 'Russian Roulette' is right behind her on the same basis.


  • Mariah Carey's 'I Want To Know What Love Is' is a place inside the top 20.


  • Behind SuBo on the albums chart, JLS and Leona Lewis are making up the top three. Lady GaGa's currently just outside the top five, Rihanna's knocking on the door of the top ten, and Mariah's at the edge of the top 15.


  • As for Britney, her Singles Collection is presently languishing between the 30 and 35 posts. Eek.


  • Crikey! Does anyone else feel like they've just gobbled Christmas lunch? As ever, use the space below to leave your feedback and make any requests for tomorrow's update.

    New J.Lo single ahoy!

    Yesterday's AMAs wasn't all about Taylor Bloody Swift, you know. Jennifer Lopez used the LA gongathon to launch her new single 'Louboutins' with a performance that wasn't exactly lacking in chutzpah. Put it this way - she strutted onstage, dressed as a very sexy boxer, to the strains of a rapper hollering: "THE CHAMP IS HERE!"

    And the track itself? Well, it's a Tricky and The-Dream-produced club banger with a chorus that succeeds through sheer attrition, a proper Janet-style dance break and a Sod-This-I'm-Off message - the outro goes: "Boy, watch me walk it out, walk it out..."

    Truth be told, it's not a J.Lo classic to rival 'Play' or 'Love Don't Cost A Thing', and it's about as original as starting your day with a bowl of Kellogg's Cornflakes, but it does burrow into your brain after a few spins and it's a definite step up from 'Fresh Out The Oven', the Pitbull-assisted buzz track that popped up last month.

    Anyone for the new Janet Jackson video?

    We were just starting the day with Janet Jackson's incredible new hits comp - review to come, by the way - when we realised that the video for 'Make Me', the album's sole new track, had premiered. It's nothing we haven't seen from Miss-Jackson-If-You're-Nasty before, but there's lots of dancing, Janet looks fantastic and the whole thing's as slick as a classic Jam & Lewis groove. In short? A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend the next three-and-a-half-minutes. Right, back to 'Escapade' for us...

    Update: Leona Lewis, JLS, Lady GaGa

    Hmm... something tells us Dermot's going to be making a little announcement at around 8.03pm on Sunday night.

  • The X Factor Finalists are nearly 100,000 units ahead of the Black Eyed Peas at the top, while Jason Derulo's still making up the top three.


  • Lady GaGa's 'Bad Romance' has climbed since Wednesday... to the tune of a single place.


  • Florence and the Machine's 'You Got The Love' is approaching the top 15, while Pixie Lott's 'Cry Me Out' has cracked the top 20.


  • However, Shakira's 'Did It Again' remains between the 20 and 25 posts.


  • Over on the albums chart, Leona's still in the lead on sales of 115,000, with JLS trailing her on a shade under 90,000. N-Dubz are still in the top five and Will Young's comfortably inside the top ten.


  • Right, prediction time. Where's GaGa going to end up with 'Bad Romance'? And can Mariah use The X Factor as a springboard into the top ten? Just use the space below to leave your best educated guesses.
