Mention must go here to the song in second place – Better Off Alone by DJ Jurgen featuring Alice Deejay (often wrongly credited as the performing artist) which began a three week lock down at number two, outselling all three chart toppers concerned.Ī couple of end notes and apologies for the brackets.
Curiously Keating recovered to hold on and Martin slipped to third. Obviously this was also featured on the soundtrack to the film Notting Hill and this could be seen as a clever marketing ploy to see if Keating was marketable as a solo act – if not the single could be treated as a one off and Boyzone could carry on as before.Īfter this song entered at the top the mid weeks suggested that Ricky Martin would return for a fourth non consecutive week. Secondly, their hits compilation was in the middle of a nine week (non consecutive – a two followed by a seven) when this single was released and WYSNAA actually featured on that album, despite being a Ronan solo track.
Firstly, Boyzone were still very much an extant band at this point and there was one more single to come before they quietly entered hiatus. There is actually a bit more to this single than meets the eye.
