This week : 14 new entries, 0 climbers, 3 non-movers & 23 downers.CHART TIME !
(* – my current favourites)
(!!! – Single Of The Week!!!)
(:O === the current all-time hate that makes even my smilie want to hurl!)
( (R) – Repeat., ie. a re-release)
A brief analysis on the current chart situation…
14 new entries :
I haven’t heard any of their singles since “Forgiven (Now I Feel Your Love)”which briefly graced the charts in December 97. Anyone know if it’s similar?
24 Gary Barlow – For All That You WantGary’s in serious need of an “Angels”, like Robbie had, to get him back up thecharts.
14 Pet Shop Boys – New York City BoySecond single from the PSB’s forthcoming album and I’m still in two minds aboutit. It’s not the Village People-style that puts me off, but it just doesn’tseem to scan very well.
I’ll have to listen to it again.
9 Gabrielle – SunshineShe’s back, and minus the eye-flap.
4 Melanie C – Goin’ Down :O ===First single completely solo and it’s pretty bad. She screams and she looksdreadful. Avoid.
1 Eiffel 65 – Blue (Da Ba Dee) *3rd Week at No.1*The third new No.1 in a row to shoot straight in at the top after beingreleased on import.
This is the 26th single to go straight in at No.1.
If anyone knows of a good site for new release info, please let me know
