T.A.T.U. knock Girls Aloud from No 1 (RTE)

Time of publication: 03.02.2003
Lesbian Russian teenagers T.A.T.U have ended Girls Aloud's reign at the top of the Irish singles chart.

Their track 'All the Things She Said' topped the chart on its first week of release as Girls Aloud's 'Sound of the Underground' fell to number five.

T.A.T.U are 16-year-old Julia Volkova and 17-year-old Lena Katina. The duo have been criticized for their raunchy video, which has been branded "pedophilic entertainment" by TV presenters Richard and Judy in the UK.

The teenagers claim to be lovers but there have been rumors that the image is manufactured and that the two have boyfriends in Russia.

Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' remained at number two on the Irish singles chart this week, while Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland debuted at three with her solo track 'Stole'.

Daniel Beddingfield's 'If You're Not the One' fell from three to four.

Other new entries this week included, Kelly Osbourne's 'Shut Up' at 18 and Cam'ron's 'Hey Ma' at 19. Liam Lynch's 'United States of Whatever' entered the chart at 27.
