They'll Stand By Two
Right next to it, in fact, as Girls Aloud have finally managed to get a second number one. It's just a shame that it's for the worst single they've released so far - and hopefully ever, as we dread to think what something worse than that would sound like, although their cover of Celebration on Children in Need would probably come close.
While the top 40 may have given them some treats, the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party failed to give them anything, mainly because it didn't seem like they were actually nominated for any prizes, which seemed a bit unlikely. Cheryl was representing for the Most Fanciable Female category, but it ended up going to Rachel Stevens, who also won Best Dressed Popstar and found herself nominated for Star of the Year, which is a bit like nominating a brick for Best Kettle at the Kitchenware and Related Appliances Pollwinners Party, but she was beaten by McFly, who seemed to take most of the prizes and performed twice. They were also quite, quite poor. Twice.
Busted managed to get a few gongs as well, including the highly desirable Best Ringtone prize, while Nat Bedingfield got best female and looked incredibly pretty. Sigh. The Darkness got best rock and did a 'hilarious' speech involving all sorts of innuendos for an erect penis, although they could probably have saved some time and just pointed to Justin to make exactly the same joke, while Usher got best R&B and something else, though to be honest we didn't really care. Cassie and Tabby from X Factor got to present an award to Kylie, presumably so that they could briefly get a taste of being on a big stage so that they won't feel too disappointed when the X Factor tour gets cancelled due to lack of interest.
