One Nation were thankfully a very different story. They pumped out their powerful mid-Atlantic soul with energy, enthusiasm and humour. Their set was peppered with catchy tunes ranging from the single "What You See Is What You Get" and the very danceable "Strong Enough" to the touching vocals of the love song "This Is Different."

The songwriting alliance between Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney worked more to Paul's advantage here, his recording of the pair's composition "My Brave Face" peaking at number 18, whilst Elvis' waxing of "Veronica" peaked at number 33. But in America, it's Elvis who has come up trumps. "Veronica" reached number 19 (that's 17 places higher than the peak position of his only previous top 40 hit, 1983's "Every Day I Write The Book") whilst "My Brave Face" skidded to a halt at number 25. | |||
Disenchantment with what was supposed to be McCartney's best work in years has also affected his album sales in America, where ''Flowers In The Dirt'' — a number one album here — apparently peaked at number 21 a fortnight ago. The only consolation for Macca is that his last album, ''Press'', fared even worse. only number 30. | |||
