COMMENTARY ON THIS WEEK'S TOP 50:
Kylie Minogue holds #1 for a second week with "Love Affair" from her FEVER album...FEVER looks to be headed for ALBUM OF THE YEAR as it has produced a string of #1 hits since the second week of 2002 when "Can't Get You Out of My Head" returned to the top spot and spent an additional six weeks atop the chart...
Cher scores yet another top 10 hit from LIVING PROOF as "Love is a Lonely Place Without You" makes a move from #15 to #9 this week...Cher has scored two #1 hits from the album, as well as two #3 hits...Pink's "Just Like a Pill" sees its second chart rebound as it moves into the top 10 for the third time...jumping up to #10 this week, the song is refueled by a remix I downloaded...Pink is also at #5 this week with "18 Wheeler"...
Pop Music...the boys of the UK's "Pop Idol" seem to finally have a grasp on the Top 50...Rik Waller leads the pack as his second single, a cover of Vanessa Armstrong's "Something Inside So Strong,' moves ten places to #22 and takes this week's COMBO HIT...Waller hit #34 with "I Will Always Love You" earlier this year...Gareth Gates, the runner up in the contest, moves from #33 to #24 with his second single "Anyone Of US (Stupid Mistake)"...Gates' first single--the dreadful "Unchained Melody"--didn't make it to the Top 50...finally, at #40, is the debut of the actual winner of the UK contest...Will Young scored a top hit first with his cover of "Evergreen" and it finally makes its Top 50 appearance...as we all know, ballads don't tend to do that well on the Top 50 unless they are by established artists and I finally gave this one a listen and I love it...no, I won't chart his second single "Light My Fire" because I just don't like it...
The Sugababes take AIRPLAY hit with the second single from their upcoming album (August 26 in the UK) called ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES..."Round Round" is the follow-up to the trio's biggest hit "Freak Like Me," which spent three weeks at #1 earlier this year...Kylie continues an assault on the charts as "Come Into My World" takes this week's SALES HIT...a downloaded remix of the tune prompted my charting of it...
Next week, look for a list of some of my up-and-coming hits...
