New singles to buy and a rundown of the ones doing well in the charts

MARIA LAWSON - Sleepwalking

It's been a while since we heard from the X Factor finalist and new Bravissimo model, but she's back with a new single and debut album.

Sampling the Chi-lites' Have You Seen Her, Sleepwalking is soulful pop that will delight your ears, even if you're not a fan. Definitely more pleasurable than Chico's offering.

HMV TOP 10 SINGLES
1. Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean - Hips Don't Lie
2. Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man
3. Rihanna - Unfaithful
4. Cascada - Everytime We Touch

CHICO - D.I.S.C.O

After the No 1 success of his debut single It's Chico Time, the real X Factor winner plays it safe with a cheekily cheesy cover of the disco classic D.I.S.C.O.

And, yes, it's as bad as you'd expect, with lots of 'Chicolicious' ad-libbing rather than any actual singing. But that was never his strong point, was it?

DAVID GUETTA VS THE EGG - Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)

The French DJ who made his name on the club scene with his unique mix of trance, stripped down funky riffs and soul vocals, finally sees his sound crossover to the mainstream.

This single, a soundclash with The Egg track Walking Away, should provide Guetta with a huge hit, and show that there's life in dance music yet.
