Dominator’s Top 50 of 1998
44. Robbie Williams – No Regrets
Have I gone totally senile, or was Robbie Williams deserved of the “SingleOf The Week” award in December 98 when this single made No.4 ? It’s the latter,although this slow moody song has the Pet Shop Boys influence, with backingvocals from Neil Tennant himself and it had a very good video to boot.
It followed his No.1 hit Millennium which I hated, as well as most of hisother songs including Angels so it must be something good to feature in thisTop 50.
The end bit :
Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me atCharts Request to tell me.
Bye for now,
Dominator
