    Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

    12 Ricky Martin – Shake Your Bon-Bon

    …is about the only thing he says in this song, other than “I wanna be yourlover”..

    If he’s not careful, he’ll find that it’s follow-up songs like this that’llsend him back to where he belongs – a place he last experienced after”Un Dos Tres Maria” two years ago.

    2 Will Smith – Will 2K :O ===

    This time Will rips off The Clash’s “Rock The Casbah”. However, unlike”Gettin’ Jiggy Wit’ It”, he doesn’t use the plagiarism much effect here.

    1 Robbie Williams – She’s The One/It’s Only Us :O === *1st Week at No.1*

    Respectively : one ballad and one ‘rock’ song, one used in a Dreamcast advertand one used in a “Fifa 2000” advert (as well as making an appearance in thegame itself), and both are shite.

    This is the 31st single to go straight in at No.1.

    47. Swirl 360 – Hey Now Now

    Making No.61 exactly a year ago in November 1998, this track was one of thebest 80’s-sounding songs released last year and came from an American band.Alas, hardly anyone bought it in this country.

    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.
