    Dominator’s Top 50 of 1998

    20. Dubstar – I Will Be Your Girlfriend

    In February last year this track made No.28 and was the third track takenfrom the same album, following 1997’s “No More Talk” (No.20, July 97) and”Cathedral Park” (No.41, Sept 97). “I Will Be Your Girlfriend” was still verygood but didn’t quite match the excellence of the previous two singles.

    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
