No Uk Show For Gwyneth

Gwyneth Paltrow's debut effort as a singer may be top of the charts in
Australia - but she won't be having the same success in Great Britain.
Record company execs won't be releasing "Cruisin'" - her ballad from
the movie Duets (2000) - as they don't think it's good enough. The
movie star's tune, a duet with '80s singer-turned-actor Huey Lewis,
has just hit the number one slot Down Under Edel Records offered the
tune to British radio stations in November, but not one thought it
suitable for their playlists. Two months on, the company believe they
would be beating a dead horse if they attempted to re-offer it to
radio stations and release it as a single. Their decision was backed
up by the fact that Duets (2000) was a huge flop on its release in
the U.K. A company executive at Edel records, which released the
Duets (2000) soundtrack, said: "We only released it as a promo over
here - just for radio play. The film flopped. There is limited scope
for that type of track as far as radio is concerned in the UK.
Australia may be a different scenario."
