My Head Around You
[Splinter]
Very short, but sweet. At not much more than 2 minutes, this makes for a nice littlediversion, but is still a far cry from better work such as She’s Got Issues,Want You Bad and the also short, All I Want, which stood out for meas being the theme tune to the originalCrazy Taxi
Has Come Your Way
This one must’ve had the record execs creaming their pants. They came second andthird on Pop Idol, they had a No.1 hit with their first release, a cover of With ALittle Help From My Friends and have appeared on kids TV a number of times.
However, the fickle public soon see through them. They might think they’re cute and thatSam has kerrr-razy spiky hair, but it doesn’t always translate into sales.
This is one brand of S&M I don’t expect to hang around for long.
Be My Girl
[Get Born]
This first came out as their initial single in September last year. A good track,but this re-release has only made seven places higher than its original positionin the first week out, and also their highest-ranking one to date.
Story of My Life
[Some Day Soon]
I know nothing about KL, but I find this first single a very intriguing, well-writtenand slow-burning track featuring a melody that, in time, gets under your skin and youwant to listen to it over and over. Looking forward to more from this guy.
Another show-off boyband. Kill ’em all! Bunch of dormant bastards.
(Fuck You Right Back)
[Good, Bad & Ugly]
Following on from her apparent ex Eamon’s f-word-full single, we now have more of the same with exactlythe same backing music. Given her blanked-out performance on CD:UK this week, who’s going to be next at the top- Norman Collier?
This is the 4th new single to go straight in at No.1 in a row:
- 1. Usher – Yeah!
- 2. McFly – Five Colours in Her Hair
- 3. Eamon – Fuck It
- 4. Frankee – FURB (Fuck You Right Back)
