ANDREA BOCELLI is the next to get the top ten treatment after many imploring e-mails. The reason it has taken so long is that Andrea Bocelli has mainly had great success on albums rather than singles  therefore making life a little trickeier than usual; however not to be outdone I have joined up sales of singles with radio requets from as many countries as is possible.    If you're a Bocelli fan listen next week on Tuesday 2nd MARCH 8-10pm on Tudnofm 107.8 or online at Tudnofm.co.uk and click on LISTEN LIVE.       DON'T MISS IT!!

If you remember or are a fan of his don't forget to listen in.        He was one of the few falsetto singers who with a raw commercial sound hit the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with a driving thumping beat introducing an organ to his backing group.    The Beatles and other Liverpool groups ended his chart popularity for a while but he returned for a few more hits until disappearing into relative obscurity.    Remember you can listen in online at Tudnofm.co.uk and click on listen live.
