Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

A-Ha: Analogue
[Analogue]

10 A-Ha – Analogue

Classy return to form for the trio whose first hit, Take On Me, came just over 20 years ago. Wheredoes the time go?!

It’s also their first Top 10 hit since 1988’s Stay on These Roads, but inbetween then and now theirprofile dropped off the radar after the early 90s and only a Top 40 hit, Summer Moved On (No.33, June2000) stood in the middle. Will they be back for good? Hopefully so, by the sound of this track which isfantastic.

Notorious BIG: Nasty Girl
[Duets]

1 (2) Notorious BIG – Nasty Girl *1st Week at No.1*

Apparently the latest album will be the last. How many more albums can youmake when you’re dead?!

Climing to the top, this stops the run of songs going straight in at No.1which totalled 12 tracks, as follows:

    1. McFly – I’ll Be OK
    2. Oasis – The Importance of Being Idle
    3. Gorillaz – Dare
