Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

36 Mull Historical Society – Watching Xanadu *Another classic track that’s doing the rounds on MTV2. Well worth a listenand should have deserved a Top 10 place.

33 ATFC – Sleep TalkA remixed re-recording of the Alyson Williams track which made No.17in March 1989. Quite why anyone would want to redo it is beyond me.

13 Mary J Blige – Dance For MeHaven’t heard this but it’s bound to be crap.

However, it’s odd that the highest new entry is NOT in the Top 10! Can’tremember when that last happened.

1 (1) Enrique Iglesias – Hero *2nd Week at No.1*

Obviously the PR machine is in operation this time.

He reached No.4 with “Bailamos” in September 1999 and then No.7 inSeptember 2000 with “Could I Have This Kiss Forever”, but after that he’sonly released flop singles. So how has this shot into the top slot?

This is the 3rd single in a row to go straight in at No.1 :

  • 1. Aaliyah – More Than a Woman
  • 2. George Harrison – My Sweet Lord (R)
  • 3. Enrique Iglesias – Hero
