Lindsay Woods: I have turned to these lists as a form of security blanket

I like a good barometer. No, not the scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. More the ones that allude to ‘What’s hot’ and ‘What’s not’. Or, ‘Heating Up’ and ‘Cooling down’, writes
I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember. Back as far as the ‘Just Seventeen’ or ‘Bliss’ days when not only did they enable the utter boyband rivalry that was Take That v East 17 by placing them on alternate ends of the barometer weekly but, also because depending how who was indeed ‘hot’, you were treated to a pull-out poster of same. In case you wondered, Take That still reign supreme. I polled Instagram and they said so. Stand down Janet.
