Rachel Stevens:
Funky Dory

26 Rachel Stevens – Funky DoryHer first single just missed out on the No.1 slot, but this one plummetswith no chance. Her album of the same name went into the charts at No.79, andher record company claims they’re not going to dump her…?

Madonna:
Remixed & Revisited EP

11 Madonna – Love ProfusionA decent pop song from Madge for the first time in a long time, with avideo that copies the same perfume video the music appears in.

Will Young:
Friday’s Child

2 (1) Will Young – Leave Right NowThere must be something wrong with me. This is actually growing on me…
