Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

47 Human League – All I Ever WantedCan’t remember if I’ve heard any of this, but it doesn’t look promisingfor a comeback.

39 Wurzels – Combine HarvesterA remix released in aid of the farmers affected by the foot and mouthdisease, which is causing their mad brains to overcharge the governmentTEN TIMES for what it really costs to clear up the mess.

No wonder No.10 have stopped general payments to the thieving melonfarmers.

31 Turin Brakes – Mind Over Money * !!!I’ve recently got into this band from what I’ve heard on MTV2 and this isexcellent stuff. It also reminds me a little as if it’s about to merge intoDemons by the Super Furry Animals.

12 Depeche Mode – I Feel Loved *Great dance track from the band who can turn out all kinds of sounds

11 Janet Jackson – Someone to Call My LoverMore shite girlie-girlie crap

8 Geri Halliwell – Scream If You Wanna Go FasterA very low entry compared to what she was no doubt expecting after moreendless self-promotion and lesbian dances licking her on Top of the Pops.

1 Atomic Kitten – Eternal Flame :O === *2nd Week at No.1*

As the Bangles re-release their Greatest Hits album under the title of this,their 1989 No.1 single, the band that were nearly dead before “Whole Again”capitalise upon the popularity of the track with a dire cover version thatturns it from a sloppy romantic song into a pop song. Stick with the original.

This is the 7th 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
• 3. Moulin Rouge – Lady Marmalade
• 4. Hear’Say – The Way To Your Love
• 5. Roger Sanchez – Another Chance
• 6. Robbie Williams – Eternity / The Road to Mandalay
• 7. Atomic Kitten – Eternal Flame

Time after time they produce excellent music, but it seems that ifthey’re not singing about football then no-one’s interested. This track madeNo.67.Review copyright © Dominic Robinson, 2001.
