Let's be honest.. the only two people looking forward to seeing Alex at number one were Alex and his wife.
He does have better songs with value but Ordinary just doesn't do it for me. I'm sure he's a nice guy though.

Oh wow... wasn't expecting Dire Straits to be so close to the Top 40! Does anyone know why 'Sultans Of Swing' is doing this well again?
