This week just gone

Gennaro Castaldo's top ten hits:

1. On Michael Jackson hooking up with the Crazy Frog producer ("If anyone can turn it round for Michael, it's him")
2. On treating file sharing like drink driving ("They're engaging with the customer for the first time")
3. On the death of the VHS ("Later in 2006, videos will be 99.9% dead")
4. On disappointing U2 sales ("The key thing is is will sell throughout the year")
5. On the BBC's Mozart season ("You're not going to have a 250th anniversary of Mozart every year")
6. On an Oasis-U2 chart battle ("It will look like a proper face-off")
7. On the Arctic Monkeys ("We might be entering the Chinese Year of the dog, but as far as the Music Industry is concerned 2006 is very much the 'year of the monkey'")
8. On download-only singles being eligible for the chart ("Anything and everything is eligible")
9. On HMV's selling of tickets turning into a miniriot ("On behalf of HMV, I offer our most sincere apologies")
10. On Leo Sayer's return ("The record will certainly be top three")
