Using IE7 here and it looks ok.
Just my 2p's worth though, the buttons do seem a bit amateurish, I can't put my finger on why they just do.
The second thing is I think you should stick a footer at the bottom of the page. At the moment with the main area just going ooonn it looks like the site hasn't finished loading, or it has crashed.

why take it down? its only html so you can work on it on your pc then just update it, which will still allow for more comments from us

quick glance and first thing i see that looks odd to use (imo) is this
get rid of the 50% and 0 thing, and also background attachment fixed. see if that helps. almost certain it would
yeah just edited your code and that is the problem. your telling the background to change size according to how big the page is. you need to seperate that image and put the bits as background for where they should be, for instacne, where the nav bar is there is a darker green, the nav bar could go in a container and have thats background as the darker green.
Code:
background: #F7F7F6 url(http://www.hitsinglesuk.com/image/backgroundimage.gif ) repeat-y 50% 0;

Too much colour information for a GIF.
File > Save to Web > Jpeg > Adjust for a balance between quality and filesize.
The colours are very very boring if you're going for a site about hit singles, music, pop music, madonna etc. Needs to be more vibrant. Don't be scared to try bright colours and dark text.

haven't looked at the code but what i do to centre a page in all resolutions i add margin: auto; to the main site container. this will make the margin auto for each side making it centered.
IE6 and FF 1.5 are broken, i'm pretty sure the floats are off. 
If I'm thinking hit singles, I'm thinking colour, vibrancy and all those connotations, this is a bit pale and bland, I think to take it away from the template side of things, bring some life into it and don't follow natural lines, I know that sounds ridiculous for a website but a plain square box isn't going to push anyones buttons.
