Welcome to the Maestro and Montego Owners Club. Why not post in the Welcome & Feedback forum and introduce yourself?
Not like the good old days when a band/group had to clear 200,000 sales every week to stay at number 1... what is it nowadays, 60,000?
Lost my interest in alleged pop bands/groups, especially the 'manufactured gropes (sorry, groups)'. Absolute Rubbish. The local paper has items on Suzanne Shaw (from Bury, member of ex-hearsay) on a regular basis, the column's called "Where are they now" or "Dodo" or something...:laugh:

There are some very good groups around at the moment but - as was ever the case (with a few notable exceptions in the early days of pop) - they are marginalised and rarely enjoy major chart success. The music in the charts hasn't been the good music of the era since the end of the 70s as it tends to be either novelties (Mr Blobby, Bob the Builder) or manufacured Tetris Pop dross (Girls Aloud, Blazin' Squad, G-G-G-Gareth G-G-G-Gates etc) that get into the top 10. All of these are embarassingly talentless but easy to market to the impresionable youth who prefer branding to content.
