At least he beat S Club Juniors

Ronan Keating's appeal becoming more select? Tish and – indeed – pish! Despite stiff competition from Nigel & Marvin, S Club Juniors, Aaliyah and previous incumbent Holly Valence, Keating's 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' went straight in this week at number one on the UK singles chart.

Also flying the flag for Ireland are Bellefire whose cover of U2's 'All I Want' debuted at 18.

With The Hives and The Cooper Temple Clause both failing to crack the 20, perhaps girl bands are the new rock 'n' roll!
