In the last chart of 1997, I posted my Top 50 singles of theyear, picking out the Top 10 first. During 1998, I’ll be going through thelist one by one.
This week : 11 new entries, 2 climbers, 3 non-movers & 24 downers
It’s goodbye to :
And hello to :
CHART TIME !
(* – my current favourites)
(!!! – Single Of The Week!!!)
(:O === the current all-time hate that makes even my smilie want to hurl!)
( (R) – Repeat., ie. a re-release)
A brief analysis on the current chart situation…
11 new entries this week, 2 climbers (Savage Garden from 9 to 8, and LeAnnRimes from 17 to 12), 3 non-movers (Shania Twain at 26, Celine Dion at 2,and Run DMC at 1) and 24 going down.
Big fallers include M-People (8 to 15), LL Cool J (10 to 22), Pulp (12 to 31),and Hanson (19 to 36).
Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…
33 Eric Clapton – My Father’s Eyes * !!!
First single from Eric Clapton‘s new “Pilgrim” album. Superb.
19 Trickster – Move On Up :O ===
Dire reworking (or should that be bastardising) of the Curtis Mayfieldclassic.
14 Ian Brown – Corpses
Second single from the ex-Stone Roses member and while not terrible, it’sfairly unremarkable.
5 Janet Jackson – I Get Lonely :O ===
Weird song that has lyrics that sound set to a completely different song thanthe intended one.
1 (1) Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins – It’s Like That *3rd Week at No.1*
So DJ Jason Nevins ruins an old Run DMC track, as well as a forthcomingreworking of a Beastie Boys track, “Hold It Now, Hit It” which appeared on their1987 “Licenced To Ill” album which housed their most well-known hit, “(You’veGotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)”.
This single starts off another set of singles going straight to No.1 probably.

Dominator’s Top 10 of 1997
14. Beautiful South – Blackbird on the Wire
Following on from the upbeat “Rotterdam” and “Don’t Marry Her”,this song was the complete opposite being a slow and sombre song with PaulHeaton on vocals and made No.23 in March 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.
