and 27 going down. Big fallers include :
New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
[Paris]
And Hilton’s Bland, because her first single, with a backing track style ripped from UB40’s KingstonTown, is as dreadful and trite as they come. She’s a dull, attention-seeking trollop and, accordingto the video of her that ended up on the internet, she’s also a lousy lay.
[Fundamental]
A good track for an album or a dance version, but rather lacking as amain single release. The album itself is rather lacking, overall, too.
Ain’t No Other Man
[Back to Basics]
L’Aguilera tries to combine current day usual screaming with a ’60s-tinged hip-hop sound. Fans ofhers will like it, while non-fans won’t have their opinion changed because it’s such bog-standard dullfare.
[Oral Fixation Vol.2]
Sales must be low at this time of year as this tired effort returns to thetop making two weeks at No.1 in total.
