22 Bus Stop & Randy Bachman – You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet :O ===

Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

22 Bus Stop & Randy Bachman – You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet :O ===

Dance version of the classic Bachman Turner Overdrive hit, and it’s awful.Apparently Noel Gallagher was approached by Bus Stop and asked about a remixof Champagne Supernova. He had the sense to refuse.

12 Meja – All ‘Bout The Money * !!!

When I heard this artist’s name pronounced as “Maya” I thought it was thegirl who sang with The Temperer for the crappy “Feel It”, but it’s not andI’ve heard this single in both standard and dance versions, both rather funkyand deserves a Top 10 placing.

6 R.E.M. – Daysleeper *

First new single from their forthcoming album “Up” out next week and I’veonly heard it once, on MTV, but it’s a lot better than most of the rest ofthe chart.

2 911 – More Than A Woman :O ===

Apparently during the week of release, 911 were having pictures taken whilebeing posed with a “1” symbol. Obviously it didn’t pay off.

1 (NEW) Spacedust – Gym And Tonic :O === *1st Week at No.1*

Another song goes straight in at No.1 and this is so dire – a dance track thatsounds like an exercise routine, non-stop. Dreadful. Avoid.

This is the fourteen single in a row to go straight in at No.1 :

Fourteen No.1’s in a row beats the record set in the chart at week endingApril 13th 1996 when the Prodigy rounded off 10 singles going in at No.1 in arow which began with Shaggy. Let’s see how many more are to follow…

The previous Top 10 No.1 list looks like this :
