Michael Jackson has done some awful things, but we must be grateful: he's keep-ing the Beatles and Boyzone off the top, and he elbowed Robson & Jerome off their throne last week. (His next task: to elbow the lot of them off the top of a multi-storey car park.) He's in hospital right now, up to his neck in grapes and crossword books. Here's lookin' atcha, Jacko.
