and 25 going down. Big fallers include :
New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
A new Travis single, and another limp effort. Why did they completely loseit from “Sing” onwards?
Absent Friends
A new single from the band, and it’s been three years since their last onewhich really impressed me, “Love What You Do”. This one succeeds on all counts.
This Is Not A Test
Replace “H” with “F”, and “o” with “a”.
When it comes to what the charts usually represent, the Sugababes are abreathe of fresh air creating generally classy pop.
