What annoys me about it all was the total lack of effort by EMI and Kate over the selection of tracks for MOP in the UK. Admittedly it would be nice for Kate to get a bit more recognition sometimes,ie more personal promotion,but you can accept that Kate wants her privacy.When you select tracks which have had several releases before it's just a downright rip-off.The point about liking music which is not comercially successful and not liking music which is commercial is too general. Not all music that charts is rubbish, although I can accept that a lot is. Unfortunately i know too many people who refuse to listen to musicians who have been successful,because of the thoght that they must have "sold out". In the end they miss out on a lot of good music.For instance I know someone who dislikes Tori Amos just because she got to number 4 in the charts recently.
