Update: Dizzee Rascal, Agnes, Katy Perry
Published Wednesday, May 27 2009, 12:14 BST | By Nick Levine | 25 comments
Our apologies for the tardiness - it's been all go here this morning - but without further ado here's an update from the midweeks.

Dizzee's still on top with Black Eyed Peas just behind, but Agnes's 'Release Me' has now climbed into the top three.
Little Boots's 'New In Town' remains just outside the top ten, with The Veronicas' 'Untouched' right behind it.
It's onwards and upwards for Keri, Kanye and Ne-Yo's 'Knock You Down', which has now jumped into the top 15.
Shontelle's 'Stuck With Each Other' is on the up too and is now inside the top 30.
Katy Perry's 'Waking Up In Vegas' has climbed since Sunday... to the tune of a single place.
The top three on the albums chart is still an Eminem - Escala - Green Day affair.
So, anything else you'd like to know for Friday?

veroniacs new song isnt top 10 yet`. whats wrong with people. shontelles new song is boring and cheesy so it shouldnt have even made the top 40. kelly clarkson, taylors swift and lady gaga update. Thinking of you is so much better and considering that only got to no 27 i don't really think waking up in vegas should go any higher

Agnes is doing so well, I really hope she can get to number one and at last we will have a decent pop record at number one rather than american rap, r and b and indie music!!! Please buy the single and get Pop back where it should be in the all too similar and american top 40!!

I wish Agnes all the best of luck, and I hope she can be the artist to knock Dizzee Rascal from the top spot. Little Boots and The Veronicas must get into the top ten, if not the top five! Both are amazing. I have a feeling Katy Perry's new single won't perform as well as the others, which is a shame as her previous single, Thinking of You, was disappointing in the charts too. Escala, you can do it!

Agnes is proving to be a well deserved hit. Her dated late 90s club sound is fresh in the current musical climate and its great to see her do better than the massively over hyped ‘too cool for school’ Little Boots. Besides, La Roux have not just stolen Little Boots’ thunder; they’ve taken her wind, rain and sun. Let’s hope Keri Hilson goes no further, how much more of that mass produced Timberland sound can we take? Enough!

Yay Agnes! Come people! Buy Untouched it's needs to get into top ten. Who cares about Little Boots she's crap. Also, buy ' Knock You Down' needs to get in the top ten by Sunday and 'Waking Up In Vegas' has to get into top 30 by Sunday.
