I think it's a safe bet that Man In The Mirror will be number one next week. It seems to have become THE song.

Probably Elvis when they re-released all his old songs once-a-week a couple of years ago.
because there's only been one artist who had seven songs in the Top 40 in the history since the music chart was created in 1952. Kudos to anybody who knows who said artist is - you have heard of him/her/them.

Correct and wrong at the same time.
It was Elvis Presley, but it wasn't the re-releases of a couple of years ago to commemorate 30 years since his death since they were released over a period of four months but none of them stayed up long enough to beat the record Presley had set.
It was actually in 1957:

Most Simultaneous Top 40 Hits
7 - by Elvis Presley (on two occasions in Nov 1957). This feat is made all the more impressive by the fact that there was only actually a Top 30 at that time.
On week ending 2nd Nov 1957, Elvis held positions no. 4, 12, 16, 20, 21, 24, 26 with "Party", "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear", "All Shook Up", "Trying To Get To You"), "Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do", "Loving You", and "Paralysed."
The folowing week he held positions 2, 15, 17, 20, 23, 25, 30 with "Party", "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear", "Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do", "Lawdy Miss Clawdy", "Trying To Get To You", "All Shook Up", "Loving You", and "Paralysed."

Yep I saw it in St. Pancras station earlier, but haven't seen it since (although haven't been looking). Has it been pulled? Wouldn't surprise me if so...
Not strictly news-related but has anybody seen an OK! Magazine today? I saw a glimpse of a copy today and on the cover, it looked like Michael unconscious; what state he may have been in, I don't know, but I've checked the OK! site and there's no mention of it.

Hardly. Try "sold out".
I was watching people in the queue in the supermarket, all squinting to get a good view of it, then saying, "Oh its so sick and ghoulish".
I saw someone take a pic on his mobile phone, presumably so he could upload it to twitter (like so many others) and say "who would publish a sick pic like this".
Er... you would.

Think it was just referring to the exclusive pictures OK magazine had, its not the first time the Star as crossed reference to one of the magazine titles in the Desmond portfolio of newspapers and magazines
I was more interested in exactly how the Daily Star claimed it was an exclusive pic, when it was published with all the OK front cover stuff on it :S

It had a short holding graphic saying CNN continues on Sky etc. and returns on Freeview tomorrow, before crashing into the SuperCasino graphics and their random cheery presenter happily welcoming CNN viewers to SuperCasino.
Not the topic for this thread, but this sort of content shouldn't really be allowed on the news channels IMO.
Some mainstream channels around the world take rolling news channels like CNN and BBC World as part of their schedules and jut cut off at the scheduled time. It's unusual over here but quite common elsewhere
The limitations of Freeview are shown by CNN handing their channel to Live Roulette at midnight. I dread to think how that handover went, as CNN presumably wouldn't be allowing the usual advertising gaps.

How did Kay Burley get the interview with the president of AEG? It almost looks like she broke in to the building, ambushed the man as he got out of a lift and demanded he take his sun glasses off. Was this shown live at some point?

Just a shame they don't promote more Page 3 Girls in "Readers' Wives" or "Asian Babes".

Fair enough though when a regular channel broadcasts a few hours from a news channel, but not so fair when a news channel broadcasts a few hours from a gambling channel - at a time on Freeview where that channel is available anyway.
That kind of isn't the point though - automated or not, when there is a developing story they should have stuck with CNN - on CNN!
