and 27 going down. Big fallers include :
New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
So, is it any good? Yes, to a degree since it’s good but it’s way toorepetitive. What is worthy of it is that at times, early on in particular,he exhibits a tone in his voice which is surprisingly reminiscent ofMatt Johnson (The The), so if the chart career doesn’t work out, howsaboutsomething similarly downbeat? I think it would suit Mr Owen’s voice quite well.
3 Cheeky Girls – Hooray Hooray (It’s a Cheeky Holiday)A cover of the Boney M song. Don’t expect any longevity out of this track,but you can’t blame them for wanting to make a quick buck. 1 (1) Blu Cantrell – Breathe *2nd Week at No.1*Another dull dance track at the top.
