No Rock And Roll Fun

ANOTHER GLASS CEILING SHATTERS: I think everyone will feel this morning the joy at the tumbling of another barrier to equality, as Michelle "Mick" McManus becomes the first ever Scottish, female, solo artist to start their chart career at number one. And, since it's usually the way with these Pop Idol kids, probably end her chart career there, too. Further down the chart, Victoria Beckham proves that even the poor number three entry last week was a weak flash in the pan, as she skids down to number seven. If we ran Pickwick Records, we'd be ringing up Telstar offering to buy her contract right now.
