Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

45 Barry White – Let the Music PlayThey’re using this guy to promote virginity amongst teenagers?!

10 Coldplay – Trouble *A brilliant slow track and a damn sight better than “Yellow”. I just hopethey release “Shiver” next.

3 Ricky Martin – She BangsLike a shithouse door in the wind?

2 Martine McCutcheon – I’m Over You :O ===A dodgy 80s-style video and a bloody boring piece of pap in place of themusic.

1 Spice Girls – Holler/Let Love Lead the Way :O === *1st Week at No.1*

Obviously it was going to be No.1, but I wish it hadn’t. Holler is verydull and the other song is no better.

I’ve heard a few of the tracks from the forthcoming Forever album,and they were all entirely forgettable. Time to call it a day, girls.You won’t beat Westlife if you go head-to-head with their album.

    Dominator’s Top 50 of 1999

    44. Sheryl Crow – Anything But DownAnother single from her Grammy Award-winning “Globe Sessions” album, makingNo.19 in March last year. This track is good but not outstanding and won’tchange anyone’s opinion of Ms. Crow.

    It was followed by a dire cover of Sweet Child O’ Mine (No.30, Sep 99).Want a more tuneless version than Axl Rose’s original? That’s the one!

    The end bit :

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

    Bye for now,

    Dominator
