![]() Manic Street Preachers – The Masses Against the Classes Westlife – I Have a Dream / Seasons in the Sun This single is the 19th in a row to go straight in at No.1. Would they buy records by other imposters if they were just trying to soundlike their favourite bands? I could understand people buying it if it was a Barry White remix, but whenthe point of the whole thing is missing, WHY are people buying it? I saw him parading up and down the stage on CD:UK doing NOTHING apart fromgrinning and pretending to witter the odd word into the microphone everyfew seconds. I bet all the sad sacks who bought this are the same ones who boughtLolly’s cover of Mickey, because she was a Toni Basil-wannabe for thatsong, in the same way this other loony is a Barry White-wannabe. 1 Black Legend – You See The Trouble With Me :O = *1st Week at No.1*A Barry White record that was a smash hit everywhere apart from here.However, the powers that be decided that his voice could not be used on theversion released here, so a sound-a-like London-based singer Elroy “Spoonface” Powell was drafted in and the song was released underthe name Black Legend. 3 Darude – SandstormOkay, but standard dance fare. This track wasused in Leo DiCaprio’s film, The Beach. 5 Moby – Porcelain *Another hit from the “Play” album, which has now had every single tracklicenced from it for use in films, adverts and anything else. 8 Backstreet Boys – The OneBut it’s a big pile of Number Twos. 29 Jay Z – Big Pimpin’Well, whatever floats his boat… 26 England Supporters’ Band – Great Escape 2000Oh, purlease (!) 17 Richard Ashcroft – Money To BurnGood follow-up to “A Song For The Lovers”, but this doesn’t exactly breakany moulds for originality. MTV2 (Sky 446) also play their “When I Argue I See Shapes” (No.19, Feb 99)often too. 32 Idlewild – These Wooden Ideas * !!!Played to death on MTV2, but every time I hear this rocking tune I loveit even more. 42 Bob Marley Ft Mc Lyte – Jammin’Never liked this until it was performed in The Simpsons ( Bart Gets a New Dog). It’s damncatchy too.Īnd, going by the video, I wonder if nuns really behave like that? 50 Saint Etienne – Heart Failed (in the back of a taxi) * !!!Oh, why oh why isn’t this No.1? Bloody marvellous stuff!Īnother track receiving endless plays on MTV2, it features Sarah Cracknell‘ssmooth vocals to a subtle dance beat. It starts softly, then breaks outinto an engaging rock tune that deserves to be played LOUD! 55 Eels – Flyswatter * !!!A more sombre rock track, most of the time, and another that’s gettingendless plays on MTV2 and which deserves to be in the Top 10. ![]() Of this week’s highlights and lowlights… 70 Kevin Kennedy – Bulldog NationOh well, so much for his pop career outside of Coronation Street! 56 Soulwax – Much Against Everyone’s Advice * !!!Another track with endless plays on MTV2. 56 Soulwax – Much Against Everyone’s Advice * !!!.50 Saint Etienne – Heart Failed (in the back of a taxi) * !!!.1 Black Legend – You See the Trouble With Me.26 England Supporters’ Band – Great Escape 2000.a re-release)Ī brief analysis on the current chart situation… (* – my current favourites) (!!! – Single Of The Week!!!)
