Oops - She did it again - WON A NOW POLL that is. Britney topped Now 46, and deletion was averted by a respectable showing for Aaliyah after much lobbying. Less controversy on Now 47 I'm guessing, featuring comebacks for U2, Spices and All Saints, and debuts for David Gray, Nelly and leather-lunged Anastacia.


[Poll #736520]


All this and DANE BOWERS too!

...but six years on surely we all agree that Victoria wuz robbed of that No 1? 'Groovejet' is great but 'Out Of Your Mind' is insane and bonkers and something approaching masterpiece quality.

Victoria getting her No 1 out of the way so early on could have CHANGED HER LIFE!

I sometimes think that the fact that 2-step started out as a mainstream phenomenon pretty much concurrently with its underground phase has been the commercial death knell of everything related to UK garage since.

'Out Of Your Mind' is exceptional I think - the vocal tics and tricks are incredible and make me squeal with delight.

hardcore continuum literally in that one of Truesteppers was Jonny L - the only ardkore guy to cross into 2step domain i think (others crossed into breaks, big beat etc.)

Does Jonny L actually deserve the "In the second if not first wave of everything good for 15 years" respect I've heard bandied about?
