With all those best ofs dominating the album chart this week, hurrah to the news that two original material albums are competing for the top spot this week. The debut album from much talked about Keane - 'Hopes and Fears' - is likely to go in at number one according to the midweeks. The Streets' very excellent 'A Grand Don't Come For Free' is selling well but, from what we here, as yet someway behind Keane.
Singles wise, although Morrissey's comeback single 'Irish Blood, English Heart' is selling well, number one in the midweeks is Frankee's 'Fuck You Right Back', the track recorded by Eamon's ex-girlfriend in response to his record 'Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)'. As post-break up arguments go, it'll be quite an achievement if it is Frankee's track that finally knocks Eamon's record off the top of the chart!
On her hopes to do just that, Frankee told the Sun yesterday: "I felt publicly humiliated after hearing his track and thinking it could be about me. But I think he's beaten. There is no comeback record to mine. If he can think of one, then good on him. I don't think he can. We've not seen each other or spoken at all since this whole thing started. I don't think we ever want to see each other again. Maybe when it dies down, perhaps 10 years from now, we can be friends again."
