Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

31 Skinny – Failure * !!!

Weird song from a new band who remind me a little of It’s Immaterial.The video for this track has been shown twice on the Chart Show in theircheapo video slot, during which the band were arrested for playing where theyshouldn’t, and it was all captured on camera…

28 Shola Ama – Someday I’ll Find You / Divine Comedy – I’ve Been To A Marvellous Party

The first release from the latest Noel Coward tribute album in which profitsgo to the AIDS charities are a slow ballad from Shola Ama and the Divine Comedycombining a talking Noel Coward impression with a techno record (!)

26 Page and Plant – Most High *

Robert Plant only seems to grace the Top 40 once every five years or so andthis time round it’s another collaboration with Jimmy Page, on a track that’sa damn sight better than “Gallows Pole” (No.35, Dec 94)

23 Fire Island featuring Loleatta Holloway – Shout To The Top *

Cover version of the Style Council classic which made No.7 in Oct 84, andwhile nothing would ever top that, it’s still a good cover and worth blastingout when it comes on the radio.

1 (1) Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins – It’s Like That *4th Week at No.1*

So DJ Jason Nevins ruins an old Run DMC track, as well as a forthcomingreworking of a Beastie Boys track, “Hold It Now, Hit It” which appeared on their1987 “Licenced To Ill” album which housed their most well-known hit, “(You’veGotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)”.

This single starts off another set of singles going straight to No.1 probably.
