In the coming weeks I'm planning some themed radio shows. Brace yourselves for a clatter of songs about painters, a solid hour of cult troubadors and something about space travel. I'm also working at a two hour programme full of songs that feature numerals in the title.

Here's the shorlist, but I could do with some better suggestions, especially for 9 and 13. Whaddya reckon?

1. One ¨C U2
2. It Takes Two ¨C Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
3. Three Is The Magic Number ¨C Jack Johnson
4. Four To The Floor ¨C Starsailor
5. Five Years- David Bowie
6. Six Underground ¨C Sneaker Pimps
7. The Magnificent Seven ¨C The Clash / 7 Nation Army ¨C White Stripes
