ROBBIE WILLIAMS
She's Madonna
Chrysalis
****

The cheek of Robbie, dumping his girl for a faded 1980s pop star. How would he like it if she dumped him for Billy Idol? Besides, I'd have thought Suzanne out of The Human League would be more Robbie's type. This is one of the better tunes from Rudebox; maybe Robbie's not fading away after all.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
What Goes Around
RCA
***

What better way to get over your break-up with Cameron Diaz than to get jiggy with Scarlett Johansson in the steamy video for this song? The Trousersnake plainly wants to show the world he's not going to be stuck for a date - or a hit tune.

SCISSOR SISTERS
She's My Man
Polydor
**

Rock rule #276: If you sound like Elton John circa Honky Cat and The Bitch Is Back, we're happy to dance with you. But if you sound like Elton John circa I'm Still Standing and Sad Songs Say So Much, we're moving on to the next nightclub.

NELLY FURTADO
Say It Right
Geffen
***

Since she stopped being like a bird and more like a panther, Ms Furtado has clawed her way back to the top of the charts. Having songs that sound like something you heard in 1984 hasn't done any harm either.

JOSS STONE
Tell Me 'Bout It
Virgin
****

The Devon diva is back, and ready to take on Amy Winehouse in a soul-power battle of the English babes. Will Joss's Aretha flavas knock Amy's Nina Simone tones for six? Whatever the outcome, respect is due.
