40 Lodger – I’m Leaving *

Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

40 Lodger – I’m Leaving *

Fresh from their performance on TFI Friday last week, they get a well-deservedTop 40 placing, despite the fact that it’s bound to fall out next week. Thisdoes deserve a higher position though.

27 Saint Etienne – The Bad Photographer *

Following the No.12 hit “Sylvie”, this hasn’t done as well as expected, butis twice as good.

13 The Dandy Warhols – Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth * !!!

You might not remember this from the title, but you may when reminded thatthe hook of the chorus is “Herion is so passe”. The Dandy Warhols follow-up”Every Day Should Be A Holiday” with this equally excellent and 80’s-soundingtune.

Apparently it’s about the singer’s ex-girlfriend, of whom he doesn’t know ifshe’s still alive.

When’s the album coming out?

9 The Mavericks – Dance The Night Away *

Proving that 1998 is the year that country music is making a dent in the UKcharts, The Mavericks get a well-deserved hit for once.

My girlfriend is just dying for Garth Brooks to do well now 🙂

6 Steps – Last Thing On My Mind :O ===

Dire! What is this crappy band on??

5 Catatonia – Road Rage *

Proving that they’re no flash in the pan, Catatonia are holding their ownafter the big hit “Mulder and Scully” and their collaboration with Space.

More power to them.

1 (NEW) Boyzone – All That I Need *1st Week at No.1*

And so Boyzone knock Run DMC off the top after 6 weeks at the top. Shame then,that this song is as pedestrian a ballad as anything else they’ve ever done.

This song make 2 straight in at No.1 in a row :

Top 40 ALBUM chart analysis :

This week there are new entries for

Dominator’s Top 10 of 1997

18. Candyskins – Monday Morning

This classic tune was the Candyskins only foray into the Top 40 last year,making No.34 in February, with other singles failing to make the grade.

A great shame as this one gathered a fair bit of airplay when it was doingthe rounds last year.

The end bit :

Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me atCharts Request to tell me.

Bye for now,

Dominator
