Girls Aloud's 21st Single Is Their First To Miss The U.K. Top 10

Really loving "Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer)" by DJ Ironik, Chipmunk and, of course, Elton John, which is at #3 this week on the U.K. chart.

Of course, knowing that Ironik is only 21 and grime stud Chipmunk is a wee lad of 19 makes me want to hurl myself off a cliff. But then I remember what a senior lady Elton is, and feel much better!

Meanwhile, after 20 Top 10 singles in their home country, Girls Aloud miss the upper reaches of the chart for the first time with "Untouchable"—at least upon its first official week of release. The song is #11 this week.

Here's "Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer)" and "Untouchable," two really great spring jams:

Gwen Stefani And No Doubt Do 'Today'

No Doubt did their first live performance in five years this morning on NBC's Today Show. The band all look great, but Gwen Stefani's mic sounds like it needed turned up a notch or two at the beginning of "Spiderwebs."

Oh, well, they got it up there in the end. But what a reminder of how different No Doubt's sound was from Gwen solo...
