The first new single in a while, but a rather lazy effort compared to the
hi-energy tracks we normally get from them. This is way too poppy to be worthy
of repeated listens.
Scissor Sisters: Scissor Sisters
10 Scissor Sisters - Comfortably Numb
Very weird and not very good, but in a slow week for new releases it became
the highest new entry. Even Victoria Beckham might've made No.1 this week!
Michelle McManus: The Meaning of Love
1 Michelle McManus - All This Time *3rd Week at No.1*
Oh, good god! I thought this kind of thing was all over once Fame Academy's
Alex Parks failed to make the top slot.
Michelle, will you please give it into your tiny face... er, I mean mind, that
this is not the start of a progressing career in the music industry. It is
guaranteed that within a year your subsequent singles will flop, your impending
album will not sell outside your own family, and you'll be back to your
Karaoke Class with your brash stupid voice!
No wonder Pete Waterman got up and stormed off when you were announced as the
winner. It was a fix!
