Let me gently loosen your :Pstraight jacket for a moment, carps... Who is beating the Carpenters on the music charts of your country? Not the :oCaptain and Tenille , eh? Surely not. If it is a Queen Greatest Hits or something, then it is alright, Dusty Springfield would be alright...just please do not say the :oCaptain and Tenille . Please. Okay, now here is a :-[cookie . Back to the cell with you, you :-*ninny .

Think of Emma Bunton (Baby Spice - the EX Spice Girl for those who've forgotten) - the massive publicity she's been getting on Strictly Come Dancing recently - and despite that, her album only went in at #65 - so I don't think the C's have done too badly going in at the #50's considering there have been so many 'repackages' of the C's over recent years. There is nothing new to attract us diehards (not even a new cover photo)! They are still beating Abba, XXXXXcat Dolls, Snoop Dog, Gloria Estefan, Tenacious D and Cat Stevens tho...so don't feel too bad!
Merlin - top 10 albums in the UK at the moment include comeback boyband Take That, Oasis, George Michael, U2, The Beatles and a Male Voice Choir from Wales!!!

The C & Tennille are at the mo featured prominantly in an advert on our screens Love will keep us 2geather is the song involved. Any day now its gonna b re released & chart I know it will I can feel it in me bones Arrrrrrg...actually I do like C & T just not that song. I havent 4 the life of me seen any actual adverts for the Cs Collection at all...suppose the Pub Dept were right at Universal when they said "no advertisin 4 this album" I do so wish Rich would have another look in his vaults...there must b sommat new despite his sayin they isnt. Mind you the negative advertising for the A T G B & (I just loved the cover sleeve on it as well) album just proved that in my view he isnt that interested any more & its such a shame as a "NEW" LP with NEW songs on it & proper advertising would surely top our charts..Oh well "Horizon" again it is then.

I am almost scared to ask...
But how are things going as of right now with the musical charts of your country and the Carpenters?
BTW I do not dislike the Captain and Tenile all too much. I actually get a kick out of reading Toni Tenil's blog sometimes, even though she is a bit of a drag at times (on her blog, that is).

I'm the same as you Merlinjones (Mary) as far as Captain And Tennille go - I don't dislike them either - but not really a favorite. I do happen to really like about half a dozen of their songs "Shop Around", "Can't Stop Dancin'", "The Way That I Want To Touch You", "You Never Done It Like That", "Circles", "Dream" and "Come In From The Rain".
I'm only lukewarm on "Love Will Keep Us Together" - for some reason it does not appeal to me. And "Muskrat Love" is just too much fluff for my liking.
Leo... I think that in the UK there was just no promotion for ATGB - which is a shame as it was a great compilation of previously unreleased material - they should have done a TV ad for it - it would have sold quite well.
ATGB is also another one of my favorite album covers.

As far as Im aware there was little or no ads for A T G B in the UK altho Popular DJ & TV presenter did play a few tracks on his radio show for a bit.... I asked him to marry me for that but got no reply..he was possibly to busy. Hence the reason it went the same way as Lovelines..tho Lovelines did chart for a week at 73.
