Pop princesses avoid chart battle
CBBC Newsround | May 20, 2002
The teen girls were meant to be battling it out in the singles chart by releasing their debut singles on the same day.
But Nikki Webster, 15, whose single Strawberry Kisses went Platinum in Australia has had the release set back a week.
Her record company said it had nothing to do with the competition. "The reason why it was changed is her availability for promotion," said her product manager.
The pop princesses will now release their singles within a week of each other.
Talking about the chart battle Lauren, 13, said: "I've seen Nikki's video and I think she's great.
"You are going to get me into trouble but if it was a chart battle between Australia and Britain, I would say Britain!"
Lollipops at the ready girls!
