News: New superclub opens in Covent Garden 06/07/01

The proprietors of new Covent Garden superclub Wild are hoping that it will be very much a New York style club, filling the void in the London scene. On Thursday night's launch, the three floors were packed to the limit with decadent partygoers enjoying the bottles - not glasses - of free champagne.

Win a signed copy of Hear'Say's 'Popstars'

How could the ultimate pre-fab popsters possibly follow up the fastest selling debut single in history? The simple answer is to release another slice of radio-friendly chart candy, which is exactly what the 'hardest working kids in showbiz' did. Their chart-topping single 'The Way To Your Love'- produced by Euro-hitmakers StarGate- has silenced the critics.

The number one single has already been praised as one of the highlights of their multi-platinum 'Popstars' album and had over 100,000 rugger fans singing along when they performed it at the Rugby league final in Twickenham. The single includes a cover version of Earth Wind and Fire's disco-classic 'Boogie Wonderland' that the band first performed on their LWT show 'Meet The Popstars'.

The public response to their rendition was so over-whelming, they went back into the studio to lay it down. Since the band were plucked from the obscurity of the audition queue, the five have become the most hunted band in England, chased by everyone from high-brow literary critics to unsavoury stalkers. The band has now sold 600,000 copies of the debut album-not bad for a band many predicted would disappear into Eurovision-winner style obscurity.

Over the past months Hear'Say have worked like Trojans sealing their position as the biggest thing on planet pop. Having recently returning from a whirlwind promotional tour of Europe, Suzanne, Myleene, Kym, Danny and Noel are currently gigging at various 'intimate' venues around the country honing their act in preparation for a mammoth 23-date stadium tour, which kicks off in Cardiff on August 29.

We have a copy of the Popstars album signed by all five members of Hear'Say. To win it answer this simple question.

Ash release another slice of summer

Still basking in the glory of their recent No. 1 album Free All Angels Ash are releasing a new single Sometimes. Taken from the album, and out on July 9, Sometimes heralds another glorious example of perfect indie pop from Mr Wheeler and co. Already a proven live favourite on the band's recent sold out UK tour sometimes will have you donning your sandals before you can utter "heatwave". MyVillage has a sneak preview of the stunning new video for Sometimes. Prepare for an addition to the soundtrack of the summer.
