51 Moloko – IndigoWhy so low for Moloko?

50 Precious – New Beginning…At the bottom end of the charts

41 PJ Harvey – Good FortuneIt’s good but it sounds a hell of a lot like a Pretenders song even withChrissie Hynde singing!

23 Richard Blackwood – Someone There For MeHopefully just the repo men after the failure of his album!

11 Toploader – Dancing in the Moonlight (R)Give me “Achilles Heel” any day, but can this boring cover version.

4 Artful Dodger feat. Lifford – Please Don’t Turn Me OnJust turn it off when it comes on the radio.

2 Daft Punk – One More TimeRather boring, pedestrian and more commercial than we’re used to from them.

1 LeAnn Rimes – Can’t Fight The Moonlight :O === *1st Week at No.1*

It’s the turgid piece of nonsense that hails from the movieCoyote Ugly,sounds like a rip-off of Aqua’s Barbie Girl and she even makes anappearance at the end of the film.

Dominator’s Top 50 of 1999

47. Texas – Summer SonThe output from Sharleen Spiteri and the band is getting more formulaic anddull as of late, but this was their only decent release of last year makingNo.5 in August 1999.

The second track from “The Hush” and a rather good energetic one that’s wellworth blasting out of the car radio, the promo video was been banned from mostchannels for screening pre-7pm, before which time they can only play a liveversion.

The ‘saucy’ promo though is nothing of the sort – just Sharleen writhing abouton a bed with a bloke – the sort of thing that passionate teenagers, a largepart of their audience, will be getting up to anyway, so I don’t see the bigdeal.

Their other singles were In Our Lifetime (No.4, May 99) andWhen We Are Together (No.12, Nov 99).

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
