Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

38 Grandaddy – The Crystal Lake *Very 80s, very ELO and very very good.

28 Mansun – Fool *Similarly-paced to “Wide Open Space” and almost as good.

21 JJ72 – Snow *Re-release of last year’s flop and it’s superb, but why aren’t this bandbig news yet?

8 Ash – Shining Light *Rather funky and upbeat and is it just me or is guitarist Charlotterather a goddess?

2 U2 – Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out OfSecond single from “All You Can’t Leave Behind” and a rather dull tune toboot.

1 Atomic Kitten – Whole Again *1st Week at No.1*

Kerry Katona has left to have a kid with one of the Oirish boy-band Westlifeand been replaced by Jenny, who looks exactly like the other two girls.

This single is fairly catchy and, being their first No.1 single, you can’thelp but wonder if this band are now finally on their way up and Kerry iskicking herself for leaving.

This is the 4th single to go straight in at No.1 :

• 1. Rui Da Silva feat. Cassandra – Touch Me
• 2. Jennifer Lopez – Love Don’t Cost a Thing
• 3. Limp Bizkit – Rollin’
• 4. Atomic Kitten – Whole Again

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000

6. Korn – Make Me BadMaking No.25 in June last year and being hard and heavy, this is the last thingyou’d expect to see in the charts but it’s bloody brilliant and has afantastic video even if they have appeared to have copied “Alien Resurrection”and brought in Brigitte Nielsen.

This is one of those tracks that gets endless plays on MTV2 (Sky ch.446)

The end bit :

Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me.

Bye for now,

Dominator
