WESTLIFE: Allow Us To Be Frank

SO many artists have covered the Rat Pack hits and now the boys of Westlife are taking their turn. This is a collection of the band's favourite classics from the golden Rat Pack era, featuring tracks originally performed by legends such as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatra. There's no doubt that the voices of Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian adapt well to the songs, the best ones being Ain't That A Kick In The Head, Come Fly With Me, Mack The Knife and When I Fall In Love. But Moon River, Fly Me To The Moon and I Left My Heart In San Francisco lack the emotion needed to make them hits.

DANIEL BEDINGFIELD: Second First Impression

THE highly anticipated follow-up to the massively successful Gotta Get Thru This, further showcases the New Zealand-born-London-bred talent. Produced by Jack Joseph Puig, it consolidates his position as one of Britain's most diverse and talented young singer-songwriters, and is innovative and adventurous. Every song has a unique character, from the Bond-like theme of Nothing Hurts Like Love, to the big beat dancehall of Complicated through to the anthemic The Way. It's clear that he's not afraid to experiment.

BRITNEY SPEARS: Greatest Hits: My Prerogative

SHE'S the global superstar who is only rivalled by Madonna, going from saucy schoolgirl to full-blown raunch'n'roll. In fact, Britney's short pop career has yielded a surprising body number of hits. One listen to her Greatest Hits and you're in no doubt that you're listening to one of the key pop singers of the last 10 years. The album includes hits such as Baby One More Time, I'm A Slave 4 U, Toxic and her current single, a fantastic cover of Bobby Brown's My Prerogative, and ties in with the release of a Greatest Hits DVD.
