33 Puressence – This Feeling *

Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

33 Puressence – This Feeling *

Excellent tune from a new Manchester band, and a well-deserved Top 40 hit.

18 Shed Seven – The Heroes

Haven’t heard this much, and it certainly deserves more airplay.

13 Bus Stop featuring Carl Douglas – Kung Fu Fighting :O ==

Remixed, rerecorded version of the old hit, again with Carl Douglas on vocals.This time round, though, it sounds appalling.

1 (2) All Saints – Under The Bridge/Lady Marmalade *2nd Week at No.1*

After being deposed for a week from the top slot by Aqua, the double A-sidepiece of dirge climbs back to the top. Still, you can’t have everything.

Top 40 ALBUM chart analysis :

This week there are new entries for

Dominator’s Top 10 of 1997

21. The Corrs – I Never Really Loved You Anyway

Until last week The Corrs hadn’t had a Top 40 hit and had to demean theirexcellent sound by going for a remix of their cover version of Fleetwood Mac‘sclassic “Dreams” in order to crack the chart.

Until then their closest hit came last year when “I Never Really Loved YouAnyway” made No.43 for the 3-sister/1-brother Irish group.

Hopefully now they’ll re-release this song along with “Only When I Sleep”,“What Can I Do ?” and my favourite track of theirs, the title track from theirlast album, “Forgiven, Not Forgotten”.

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
