KYLIE: There is no doubt that pop princess Kylie has won the chart battle between herself and Posh Spice.

In fact the fight for the No 1 spot looks like it turned out to be more of a quick slap as DJ Otzi, Bob The Builder and Alien Ant Farm have all been outselling Victoria Beckham's solo debut Not Such An Innocent Girl.

At one point we found Kylie's song - Can't Get You Out Of My Head - was outselling Beckham by eight to one and there were reports that the track had even sold out on its first day in some shops.

HMV music expert Gennaro Castaldo told us: "Kylie seems to becoming similar to Madonna. She is maintaining her popular appeal with fans and becoming more credible.

"It looks like she could be on to sell more than 200,000 copies by the end of the week and the omens look good for her album, Fever, which is released in a couple of weeks' time." N-TRANCE: All Around The World Records in Blackburn was a happy place to be this week after one of their artists broke into the Top 5.

A remixed version of Set You Free by N-Trance entered the charts at number four, beating the likes of Dido and the Chemical Brothers into the chart.

It was, in fact, the highest new entry of the week -- as predicted here last week.

The song has been in big demand in clubs and dance music TV channels throughout the summer. BON JOVI: They may not be the real thing, but they certainly are the next best.

Ramsbottom tribute group Non Jovi are going down a storm wherever they perform and tomorrow they are set to perform at the Rossendale Bike Festival tomorrow.

The group are just pub-sound-a-likes but the full Monty -- looks and all!

The event is expected to attract 40,000 people, so Non Jovi can expect a good audience. MICHAEL JACKSON: Michael Jackson is busy organising some of the biggest names in pop to record a charity record to help the victims of the US terrorist attack.

Britney Spears, Destiny's Child, 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter have agreed to appear on the track What More Can I Give.

The music business is also considering plans for a series of Live Aid-style concerts to help raise money for people affected by the tragedy. BLOWJANGLES: The local street band is on the lookout for more players.

The band, which took part in several events in Blackburn during the summer, is particularly after percussionists and brass players.
