Just saw it now - great!

Funnily, I almost didn't buy it - I didn't find it in HMV on the week it was supposed to be released, and saw it the following week in Virgin when I was actually looking for the Paddingtons, but I was also running late, and it was priced at 3.99 so I didn't buy it there. The following week I found it at Selectadisk for just 99p. That actually meant it was on my playlist for just 3 days before getting in the chart (the normal length is 10 days) which explains its relatively low entry followed by a massive climb...

So it could have been a classic lost to me too. One day, perhaps, they'll be famous and this CD will be worth a lot of money. (Should I buy another copy? Though I can't find another 99p one).

I play a lot of new releases but there are some artists who continually release and continually don't get in the chart. However very occasionally they do... R Kelly therefore enters for the first time since 1998. "Holiday" is the sort of song more likely to appeal to my chart - more of a mid-tempo soul-ballad then R&B, not dull and boring like "If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time"... This sort of song was common in the early 80s.

Tom Baxter's "My Declaration" is a re-issue - it has already gone higher this time around though, having peaked only at #51 first time around. In between was "This Boy" which reached the UK top 75, so I think they were expecting that this one would get into the top 40, but it did worse than "This Boy".

Does anyone know, by the way, why Mase have already re-issued "Welcome Back". Wasn't that out just a few weeks ago? And why have Bright Eyes released two different singles this week? (both at 2.99). Who do they think they are? The Manics?

LOL @ the last comment...
