Of this week's highlights and lowlights...
27 2Pac - Dear Mama
New track to be taken from the "Greatest Hits" album, but don't go looking
for Volume 2 any time in the future.
20 Charlotte Nilsson - Take Me To Your Heaven
Eurovision winner Swedish Charlotte Nilsson is blonde, pretty and that's about
it. It's a perfect Eurovision song, but completely sucks when heard anytime
else.
15 Three Amigos - Louie Louie :O ===
Godawful dance 'cover' version with scratches aplenty. Alas, none on the back
of the CD.
4 Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love
Debut solo single from the actress who recently made the big-time alongside
George Clooney in "Out of Sight" and has now set her sights on a pop career.
She's not new to music as she used to be a backing singer for Janet Jackson,
but the song doesn't sound out of the ordinary compared with most female
solo soul singers these days.
1. ATB - 9pm (Till I Come) * !!! *1st Week at No.1*
There's not a lot I can say about this other than it's been around in import
form for quite a while and it's the song with a 'bendy synthesiser' sound that
I've heard many times but the radio station NEVER said who they were playing!
(Don't you hate that?)
Probably the best dance track of the summer, although I think it's been around
since last summer.
STOP PRESS: Mon 28th June: I found the cassette single in Our Price
today in Chester for 99p and managed to find a decent box that wasn't smudged
with stickyness from the price label. Since this is the first cassette single
I've bought in about 3 years I never thought to check the following, but when
I thought the bloke was going to get the tape from the back, he actually
changed the box to one of those shitty cardboard ones. I only found this out
when I was driving home. Methinks a letter to "Our Price Customer Services"
is in order as it technically breaks the Trades Descriptions Act.
This is the 19th single to go straight in at No.1.
1. Fatboy Slim - Praise You
2. 911 - A Little Bit More
3. Offspring - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
4. Armand Van Helden featuring Duane Harden - You Don't Know Me

Westlife If I Let You Go
This was the first single from the ex-Stone Roses lead singer, proving in
addition to the Seahorses that there is plenty of life after the Stone Roses.
As a result, it's a catchy, memorable tune that deserved plenty of airplay
and it made No.5 in January last year.
It was followed with two duff singles, "Corpses" (No.14, Apr 98) and
"Can't See Me" (No.21, June 98), as well as a jail sentence after getting
pissed on a plane and threatening a stewardess because he was a prick.
The end bit :
