Gareth's back in charts

From the archive, first published Monday 16th Apr 2007.

Bradford's Gareth Gates is back in the singles charts - but failed to make the top ten with his new release.

The 22-year-old has launched a second tilt at the charts after his first taste of pop stardom, off the back of the television talent show Pop Idol, ended in 2003.

But Changes, the new song from the former Bradford Cathedral choirboy, who came second to Will Young on the first ever series of Pop Idol, only made it to number 14 - in contrast to his earlier successes.

Cult Scottish folk twins the Proclaimers also fell short - missing out on four weeks at number one after being knocked off the top spot by Timbaland's new track Give It To Me.
