Friday’s Child
I’m not keen on this track, but then I didn’t think much of “Leave Right Now” at first, either andended up really liking it. “Your Game” is a bit too much like a show-tune for my tastes, ratherlike Emma Bunton’s disjointed “Maybe”, and neither track suited either artist.

Haven’t heard it, but he’s not my bag.
This is the 1st new single to go straight in at No.1 in a row:
- 1. Usher – Yeah!
