Half way through the year, it's time for a recap of Chig's singles of the week so far, in reverse order. This is disc one of my (imaginary) two disc compilation album. I should reiterate that my single of the week is never intended to necessarily be the 'best' new release of the week. It's just a personal thing. And in the case of Jemini (which wouldn't even be the best single of the week in a week where nothing else was released), it was a recognition of their sheer bravery and chutzpah in the face of media mockery, for turning their failure into the most successful media blitz that a UK entry has ever seen, ending up with a #15 single, only two places lower than Jessica Garlick made last year, when she finished third in Eurovision, with 111 points more than Jemini managed. Mind you, she didn't then drop to #39 in her second week, before disappearing for ever. Rumours that Jemini's next single is a tongue-in-cheek cover of Nick Berry's 'Every Loser Wins' remain unconfirmed.
