Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…
29 James – Runaground * !!!
One of the new tracks on their “Greatest Hits”, this is an excellent tunebut not the sort that’s destined for a single release so hasn’t done so well.
I love the greatest hits album, but when playing it, I have to skip past“Come Home” and “Sit Down” as I’m really bored of those now.
19 Natalie Imbruglia – Wishing I Was There
Third single from her “Left of the Middle” album, and she follows up two No.2hits with… a No.19 hit. This hasn’t really been given much airplay orpromotion and isn’t as poppy as the others, but is a lot better.
17 Gloria Estefan – Heaven’s What I Feel :O ===
Now being touted as “Gloria!” (can things get any shorter? She used to be”Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine”), her music gets no better.
16 Public Enemy – He Got Game :O ===
Another Spike Lee film, again starring Denzel Washington. Another black anthemfor all da brutherz to chill out with in da hood. Yeah(!) Yo(!) YAWN !!!
3 Mousse T Vs Hot’n’Juicy – Horny
Catchy dance tune, getting a fair bit of airplay.
1 (NEW) B*witched – C’est La Vie *1st Week at No.1*
New Irish 4-piece female band, one of them being the sister of Shane fromBoyzone, so they were destined for a hit anyway.
Cynicism aside, this is actually a very good poppy debut, up there in pophistory with All Saints’ “I Know Where It’s At” and SpiceGirls’ “Wannabe”, and since the Spice Girls could now be on their wayout, this could be just the band to take over. After all, post-Take That,it’s been Boyzone who’s taken their limelight.

Dominator’s Top 10 of 1997
23. George Michael – Older/I Can’t Make You Love Me
Despite making a ‘cottage’ industry out of recent habits, he still continuesto make damn good songs, this one being a double A-side of his album’s titletrack, plus a new ballad, and it made No.3 in February.
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.
Bye for now,
Dominator
