[allow that]

I'm SHOCKED that Travis pulled in at anything lower than #1. I thought they were as huge as Coldplay in England (at least before Coldplay really exploded within the past year)... didn't The Invisible Band spend multiple weeks at #1? I'm pretty sure I remember it debuting at #1 of nothing else. Even though I'm in America where Travis never made much noise, I could still kind of tell they aren't making as much noise as the last time.

Meanwhile. I never knew Sheryl Crow was so known in UK. Is she realy that popular? Do you think her fans there are kind of the same as her fans in the US (people in their 20's and 30's, and some middle-aged people)? Also, why did her hits collection get an early UK release? Or is it out here already too and I just don't know about it yet?


Ouch for Sting. Falling too far, too fast.
There are 3 Greatest Hots collecions in the Top 10, plus a Live album that I'm assumming also has a lot of hits. Is the Elvis album also a hits collection? That would make 4.

Too bad, I like making my topics... so?

Sad to see Emma's "Maybe" at #6, midweek she was at #4. Good to see Sophie's "Mixed Up World" at #7, still disappointing, but atleast she moved up a spot from midweek.

[George Tropicana]

Sad to see Emma out of Top 5 too.
