33 Counting Crows – American GirlsNot a bad track, but a far cry from “Round Here” and “Mr Jones”. Nicesurprise to see them in the Top 40 though.

2 Oasis – Stop Crying Your Heart OutAnd stop making crap records – or ANY records – while you’re at it.

1 Elvis – A Little Less Conversation (remix) *2nd Week at No.1*

Decent track used in the Nike football adverts with Eric Cantona.Typically, though, it shoots straight to No.1 when it doesn’t deserve to.

  • 1. Aaliyah – More Than a Woman
  • 2. George Harrison – My Sweet Lord (R)
  • 3. Enrique Iglesias – Hero
