New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
[Hopes And Fears]
It’s okay, but it isn’t a patch on the album track Bend And Break.
[Greatest Hits]
She can’t sing, her music’s terrible, and she can’t even set off theDomino Day 2004 properly.
She’s entirely useless – she’s Shania Twain!
[Irish Son]
Dull and uninspired. Yes, we know you’re Oirish, now shut up about it.
Dropping the surname in a bid to revamp herself as the new Kylie, this has the same beat of something like”Can’t Get You Out of My Head”, but for all the emptyness in her songs, Kylie still manages to carry off thepersona whereas you can tell Geri’s personality is as fake as a five-bob note.
And all the “Oh, TOTP, Hel-loooooooooo” at the end of her TV appearances,as if she’s American, doesn’t endear me in the least.
Geri – give me a “t”, give me a “d”, and you’ve got “Get Rid!”
By You[What Will
the Neighbours Say?]
Dreadful over-produced power-ballad-style cover version of the Pretenders’1994 hit.
Still, it’s given them their second No.1 hit in a two-year career that’sgiven them nothing but top 3 hits.
However, that doesn’t stop the ginger minger from being mingin’ despite dieingher hair black, and all throughout the girls stare into space as if in needof some Entrosan.
This is the 4th single going straight in at No.1:
- 1. Ja Rule/R Kelly/Ashanti – Wonderful
- 2. Eminem – Just Lose It
- 3. U2 – Vertigo
- 4. Girls Aloud – I’ll Stand By You
