It’s still poppy crap though.
1 Gareth Gates – Unchained Melody :O === *4th Week at No.1*The runner-up in Pop Idol and it didn’t sell enough to beat Will Young’s1.1 million sales in the first week, but it still sold more than Hear’Say’sdebut.
However, it’s a terrible cover version. His voice is far away from thestrength that’s needed to cover it. Practically on a par with Robson & Jerome.
For those who care, both of Will’s tracks are on here too, but sung byGareth.
This is the 6th single in a row to go straight in at No.1 :
- 1. Aaliyah – More Than a Woman
- 2. George Harrison – My Sweet Lord (R)
- 3. Enrique Iglesias – Hero
- 4. Westlife – World of Our Own
- 5. Will Young – Anything is Possible/Evergreen
