I think this is the week that the look of this chart will move away a bit further from the UK, in spite of the fact that both charts have the same #1. Many of the entries in this chart appear nowhere in the UK chart, and there are several UK entries that are not making it on here either.
Nigel Clark is best known as the lead singer of brit-pop group Dodgy, who were so often underrated. Their album "Free Peace Sweet" was one of the best albums of the Brit-Pop era, one of my albums of the decade. For those reviewing the album, unless they actually got to the end of it they probably wouldn't have heard the best of it, because the album really takes off once you get to the track "Found You", after which there is the epic "One Of Those Rivers" and then "Pray For Drinking", "Jack The Lad" and "Long Life", a little trilogy, then finally "UKRIP" and "Homegrown" close the album. They also had two NM #1 singles, with "If You're Thinking Of Me" and "Found You". The CD version of "21st Century Man" also contains a version of "If You're Thinking Of Me".
Paperlung sounds a bit like Oasis. Oh well, not a bad band to sound like, I suppose, and they duly get the 2nd highest entry. Little Man Tate are one of the better known new-era rock bands.
Boy George was last in the chart with Culture Club in 1998 with "I Just Wanna Be Loved". Before then he charted as part of Jesus Loves You with "Bow Down Mistra" and his last actual solo hit was "To Be Reborn" in 1987. Amanda Ghost had a #2 hit with "Glory Girl" in 2000. She was last in the chart last year with "Deep Water" and before that on "Break My World" with Dark Globe in 2004.
