    12 E-17 – Betcha Can’t Wait :O ===

    Yes we can!

    4 George Michael & Mary J Blige – As *

    Cover of an old Stevie Wonder track, which I thought was called “Always”,as you’ll hear from the song. Interesting video too, but not so when you’veworked out how easily it’s done.

    1 Boyzone – When The Going Gets Tough :O === *1st Week at No.1*

    Take the Billy Ocean No.1 original, remove all the impact that the song hadwhen you first heard it, stick a “CON-ic Relief” sticker on it, and you havethe latest charity single, put out so we can buy it and all feel better aboutourselves for subsiding worldwide poverty, while the Government are outspending œ800 million on a stupid dome.

    This is the 8th single to go straight in at No.1.

  • 1. Fatboy Slim – Praise You
  • 2. 911 – A Little Bit More
  • 3. Offspring – Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
  • 4. Armand Van Helden featuring Duane Harden – You Don’t Know Me
  • 5. Blondie – Maria
  • 6. Lenny Kravitz – Fly Away
  • 7. Britney Spears – Baby One More Time
  • 8. Boyzone – When The Going Gets Tough

    Dominator’s Top 50 of 1998

    11. Air – Sexy Boy

    The first track from this French band made No.13 in February last year.It’s an excellent blend of ambient and electronic music that wouldn’t sound outof place in the early 80’s, and now is being used as the theme tune forChannel 4’s new gay drama, “Queer As Folk”, which doesn’t offend me in termsof content or language used, but that it is another programme in which peoplein bad or standard-paid jobs seem to have the lavish batchelor pads that onlypop stars could afford.

    Air released two other singles last year, “Kelly Watch The Stars” (No.18, May)and “All I Need” (No.29, November).

    The end bit :

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

    Bye for now,

    Dominator
