Despite falling from the No.1 spot, Atomic Kitten are still doing very well with sales of around 70,000 of Whole Again each week. The single is also doing well in Ireland and making good progress in Europe and Asia.

Atomic Kitten also make an appearance on a new compilation album entitled New Woman which was out this month. Whole Again is featured on a double CD which also includes (amongst others) Brittany Spears, All Saints, Coldplay and Barry White. There's a combination to conjure with ;-)

The B-Sides album gets a new track listing - and a title.

The track listing for Navigation - The OMD B-Sides (CDV2938) has been expanded to include 3 extra songs:

  1. Almost
  2. I Betray My Friends
  3. Waiting For The Man
  4. Annex
  5. Sacred Heart
  6. The Romance Of The Telescope
  7. Navigation
  8. 4-Neu
  9. 66 & Fading (Edit)
  10. Her Body In My Soul
  11. The Avenue
  12. Garden City
  13. Concrete Hands
  14. Firegun
  15. This Town
  16. Gravity Never Failed
  17. Burning
  18. Sugar Tax
  19. Vox Humana
  20. (The Angels Keep Turning) The Wheels Of The Universe
The running order has also been slightly amended from the version we posted up in January. The good news is the addition of The Romance Of The Telescope, 66 & Fading and Burning. The version of 66 & Fading has been edited down to under three minutes - A difficult decision, but the original version was just a little too long for a track that is halfway through the album.

Atomic Kitten's long reign at the top of the UK charts has ended as the Platinum-selling single Whole Again drops to No. 2.

Anyone who caught Friday's performance on Top Of The Pops here in the UK would have been in for a treat as the girls performed Whole Again live with a band. If you looked really close you would have also spotted Stuart Kershaw playing keyboards in the band.

The reworked Atomic Kitten album Right Now has been brought forward with a view to an April release. The album, as previously reported, will feature remixed songs and extra tracks.

Andy has just returned from a promotional trip to Germany with Atomic Kitten and the girls intend to return to do another round of radio promotions in April. Whole Again is also picking up interest in Italy.

Another mini interview revolving around the forthcoming OMD tribute album Messages is now up. Click here to read the interview with Colecovision who have covered Joan Of Arc for the album. Alternatively, you can access the interview via the Features page.
