A tough one this week, with Junior Senior and Robbie out as well, but it's got to be...

Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh) - Lumidee

The Summer of 2003 will surely be remembered as the Summer of clapping songs. Wayne Wonder is the new millennium Shirley Ellis, and Lumidee is the new Belle Stars. Ol' Dirty Bastard is about to join the happy-clappy gang too, under his new Dirt McGirt moniker. Lumidee has been stuck in my head for weeks, and should be stuck pretty high in the charts on Sunday too. We may even see Never Leave You challenging the thematically similar Never Gonna Leave Your Side for #1, in a linguistic battle not seen since Eternity and Eternal Flame were consecutive number ones, exactly two years ago.

Pointless prediction: #2
UPDATE: Lumidee did indeed enter at #2, behind Blu Cantrell & Sean Paul, with Daniel Bedingfield slipping to #4.
