New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
Also, for Mel C, given how some of her tracks have been a bit out of theordinary, this makes the choice of “On The Horizon” all the more puzzling.
10 One True Voice – Shakespeare’s (Way With) WordsOh dear. The follow-up single for OTV and you know that a single’s not goingto perform well when the band themselves are slagging it off on TV before ithas even hit the charts, saying in this case that “we’ll get it right nexttime” and how it’s too cheesy, and that one of them would only buy it becausehe’s on it himself.They also slagged off now-former manager Pete Waterman for giving them somuch crap to sing. However, if they will “get it right next time”, given howthis one has only just scraped the Top 10 will they even get another chance?
1 (-) Evanescence – Bring Me To Life *1st Week at No.1*Heard some of this on CD:UK, but while it has a bit more life than mostof the chart’s output, it was still fairly bland.
