Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

26 Natalie Imbruglia – Beauty on the FireAfter a promising start with “Torn”, then a career-best with the haunting”Identify” (from the filmStigmata, butwhich didn’t get a release in the UK as a single), her releases have steadilygone downhill and this boring tripe is no exception. Come on Nat, sort it out)

21 Doves – PoundingMuch better than the Stone Roses-esque “There Goes the Fear”, but not a patchon what’s gone before.

9 Linkin Park – High Voltage/Points of AuthorityI’ve heard the latter of the two and it’s a little on the disappointingside as it’s too formulaic.

1 Gareth Gates – Anyone of Us *3rd Week at No.1*

This went to No.1 because his record company, BMG, deleted the Elvis remixwhich would otherwise have kept Gareth at No.2.

About the track and it’s awful, sounding very much in places likethe Backpassage Boys “I Want It Up The Arse”

This is the 15th single in a row to go straight in at No.1 :

  • 1. Aaliyah – More Than a Woman
  • 2. George Harrison – My Sweet Lord (R)
  • 3. Enrique Iglesias – Hero
  • 4. Westlife – World of Our Own
  • 5. Will Young – Anything is Possible/Evergreen
  • 6. Gareth Gates – Unchained Melody
  • 7. Oasis – The Hindu Times
  • 8. Sugababes – Freak Like Me
  • 9. Holly Valance – Kiss Kiss
  • 10. Ronan Keating – If Tomorrow Never Comes
  • 11. Liberty X – Just a Little
  • 12. Eminem – Without Me
  • 13. Will Young – Light My Fire
  • 14. Elvis – A Little Less Conversation (remix)
  • 15. Gareth Gates – Anyone of Us

First came a song that was both up-beat and down-beat,Toxic Girl (No.44, April 2001) and then came this constant, driving tunewhich only made No.63 in July.Review copyright © Dominic Robinson, 2002.
