32 (60) Imaani – Where Are You :O ===

Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

32 (60) Imaani – Where Are You :O ===

The UK’s hope for a Eurovision Song Contest song, which came second on thenight to Israel’s transexual Dana International, is a very lame affair andhas been hanging around outside the Top 100 for a few weeks until the timeof the contest when it’s been given the big push it needed to get into theTop 40.

Here’s hoping it drops out next week.

18 Air – Kelly Watch The Stars *

Second single from the French band, bringing electro-pop back to the charts,and a song that’s just as good as “Sexy Boy”.

15 Adam Garcia – Night Fever

Lead singer/actor in the new musical of “Saturday Night Fever”.Nothing compares to the Bee Gees original though.

7 Simply Red – Say You Love Me

I liked this new ballad at first, but on second hearing I had to turn it offas it becomes so painfully dull.

6 The Corrs – Dreams *

Finally, after a couple of years of trying with excellent tunes such as“What Can I Do?”, “I Never Really Loved You Anyway”, and “Forgiven, NotForgotten”, the 3-sister/1-brother quarter that are The Corrs get amuch-deserved hit in the UK, and a Top 10 one at that.

I have one slight reservation though. Not because it’s a cover of the FleetwoodMac classic, but that it’s been given the dance treatment. Then again, if ithadn’t, it probably wouldn’t have got a Top 40 placing like the rest of theirsingles to date.

1 (NEW) Aqua – Turn Back Time *1st Week at No.1*

Third single from Aqua and third No.1 in a row, this time round being a balladbeing the love song from a British film called “Sliding Doors”, starringGwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah.

This song makes 4 straight in at No.1 in a row :

Top 40 ALBUM chart analysis :

This week there are new entries for

Dominator’s Top 10 of 1997

20. Coco – I Need A Miracle

A dance track from last year which made scant impression on the charts(No.39, November), was one which received a fair bit of airplay after itfell out of the chart. In these days of dance tracks being endlessly rereleasedI hope this one comes out again soon…as long as they leave it as it is though.

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
