Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

26 Rod Stewart – I Can’t Deny ItHe can’t, either. It’s tripe. Gregg Alexander, who only had one big hitwith the New Radicals (You Get What You Give), has written songs for manyartists and bands including Rod, Texas and Ronan Keating, but so many of themall sound the bloody same and perhaps now the tables have turned as thisone will no doubt fall out of the chart next week.

24 Alisha’s Attic – Push it All Aside *Their music never really pushes forth any boundaries and doesn’t progressparticularly, but it’s still catchy and worth blasting out. Presumably theystill look a bit weird as they ever did.

11 Muse – Plug in Baby * !!!Like most of the rest of their output, it’s note-perfect but I haven’t gotthe first idea what they’re going on about.

1 Hear’Say – Pure and Simple *1st Week at No.1*

It was obvious they’d make it after the midweek sales figures were announced,showing them creaming ahead of Westloife, and now the docusoap stars of thehighly entertaining “Popstars” series have reached the charts.

If they hadn’t been No.1 it would’ve been disaster, going by the way therigged charts work these days as some bands sell their single at a cheaperprice in the first week and all of them aim to schedule their best shots atthe top in a week when there’s little or no chance of competition.

Congrats to the gorgeous Suzanne and Myleene, the frumpy Kym and the lads,Noel and Danny, but will success still be calling in a year’s time? Only timewill tell.

This is the 7th single to go straight in at No.1 :

1. Rui Da Silva feat. Cassandra – Touch Me
2. Jennifer Lopez – Love Don’t Cost a Thing
3. Limp Bizkit – Rollin’
4. Atomic Kitten – Whole Again
5. Shaggy feat. Rikrok – It Wasn’t Me
6. Westlife – Uptown Girl
7. Hear’Say – Pure and Simple

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000

12. A-ha: Summer Moved OnMaking just No.33 in June last year, the musical content was a brilliant returnto the charts and a return to form for the three from Norway and was followedup by the album release, Minor Earth, Major Sky.

However, I knew the single would flop because it sounds like one of thosefirst-rate album tracks that never make good singles. Sadly, they’ve not seenfit to put out subsequent chart hits from the album.

The end bit :

Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me.

Bye for now,

Dominator
