Chart News!!!!

The Run up to Christmas means everyone is coming out with new albums and singles, many of which Irish bands have released in the last couple of weeks. Here's some news on my favourites.......

Westlife released their Debut Album, "Westlife" in Ireland on October 29th. It is a 17 track c.d. (SOMEBODY's been busy in the studio....) and opens with their three number one hit singles, "Swear It Again,", " If I Let you Go" and the Current Smash Hit, "Flying without Wings". This record breaking band have been the first "boy band" to have all three of their debut singles shoot straight to the top of the charts, not just here in Ireland, and in the UK,but in countries all over the world. This C.d. is exactly what you would expect from the Westlife boys, and I am glad to say that there are just 2 cover versions on the Album--as Ronan would say, FAIR PLAY TO YEZ LADS!!! Well worth buying!!

The B*Witched girls have come home from Amer-ikay, and with them a whole new wardrobe of denim. Their 2nd album, " Awake and Breathe" hit the shops at the end of October, and as yet I have to have a listen. But as soon as I do, I'll give my opinion!! The album features the hit single "Jesse Hold On" which sadly did not carry on the record breaking status of these girls so far. (B*witched were the first band to ever go straight to the top of the British Charts with their First four singles!)

On the singles front, the countdown is finally over. (have a look at my guestbook if you don't know what I'm talking about....) "Scream" from Area 4 has FINALLY been released!! "Scream" the long awaited single from top new hip-hop-pop band* Area 4 (*don't use the b -word!) ( that would be boyband) and this song gets catchier each time you hear it!!!! Area 4 have been seen arounf the country at the 2fm Beat on the street, and will be joining Dustin and Twink in panto this Christmas if you want to see them live!!!! "Scream " is in the shops now, and a snip at £2.99, I highly recommend that you get out there and buy it!!!!
