  1. Shaggy featuring Marsha - this song came off very well, but not sure why the two players could not sing next to each other, and were separated into solo singers, especially as this is a quite well known cover.

    A new entry for Paul McCartney at No.23 with The World Tonight, was the second of three comeback singles in 1997, after 4-year absence since 1993. All three singles comfortably made Top 30, but unfortunately none of them featured on TOTP, so not a good comeback for the legend in terms of TV exposure.
