George's track is on to a winner

JUST over a week after GEORGE SAMPSON’s Britain’s Got
Talent victory, MINT ROYALE have landed No1 for their remix of Singin’
In The Rain.

But before you start imagining NEIL CLAXTON, the Manchester muso
behind the band, spraying champagne everywhere, think again.
SIMON COWELL holds the publishing rights to the song and most of the
wedge earned will filter its way back to SonyBMG.

In the album charts the Modfather PAUL WELLER gets a well deserved No1
for his double CD 22 Dreams.
