A diva-tastic chart feat. Kylie, Mariah, Rachel Stevens and Avril Lavigne (9 Apr 2005)
Another huge week on the charts, with 17 new entries. Particularly a big pop music week for lovers of divas and huns, with Kylie Minogue and Rachel Stevens facing off with two songs both produced by the geniuses at Xenomania...but any success Kylie has will be followed by tragedy.
