England, I have a question: what is wrong with you people?!
Justin Timberlake has released three singles now from Justified, each of them sterling pop gems and each of them better than the one before. And every single one has entered the UK singles chart at #2. I don't recall what kept "Like I Love You" from #1, but didn't mind it being a runnerup so much. "Cry Me a River," then, got stopped by the juggernaut that was t.A.T.u.'s "All the Things She Said" (their followup faltered in at #7 this week). But for "Rock Your Body" to get pipped at the post by the third week on top for R. Kelly's "Ignition Remix" is ridiculous. I mean, c'mon, people - J-Tim gives and gives for you. Why must you insist on denying him this ultimate prize?? [As a consolation prize, his album is still ruling its roost.]
And yes, I know the US singles chart is horrible. But we count on you Brits to do better, really.
