Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

5 Eddy Grant – Electric Avenue :O ===An 80s track dusted off and reissued with a crappy drumbeat behind itthrown in for no good reason whatsoever.

And that’s all they’ve done to it!

3 Travis – Sing :O ===Take the best tunes that have gone by from Travis and throw them out thewindow. Then take the VERY bland “Why Does It Always Rain on Me?” and makeit even worse.

This song just has endless chants of “Sing, sing, sing” all the way through.It is PATHETIC! And when they were on Top of the Pops, their track about’Flowers in the Window’ made them sound like they’re born again Christians!

1 (NEW) Shaggy feat. Rayvon – Angel :O === *1st Week at No.1*

A cover of the enchanting PP Arnold track, Angel of the Morning, and abloody awful cover to boot, reducing it to a reggae beat and more OTT ‘rapping’by Shaggy. Why are people buying it?

His album has also gone to No.1 this week.

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

  • 1. DJ Pied Piper – Do You Really Like It
  • 2. Shaggy feat. Rayvon – Angel

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000

23. Death In Vegas – DirgeMaking No.24 in May last year, this was used in an advert, for what I forgetnow, but this track is just an instrumental with a hypnotic “laa la laaaa” allthe way through from a female singer and received regular airplay on MTV2.

It was preceeded by “Aisha” (No.9, Feb 2000)
