More Preferential Treatment For Pop Idol Loser

There appears to be a new round of favoritism for the Pop Idol finals loser Gareth Gates as Will Young’s debut album will be put up against Elvis Presley’s greatest hits compilation ‘Elvis.’ Last week BMG, parent co of all the acts, pulled the JXL remix of The King’s ‘A Little Less Conversation’ to ensure Gareth’s new single ‘Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)’ made a #1 debut. “It is getting quite embarrassing to see how much Gareth is being pushed ahead of Will,” said an insider. “Gareth seems to be their No1 priority – they have almost forgotten that Will was the people’s choice.”
