Nick Lachey
"This I Swear"

This Week Position:  16
Last Week Position:  NR (not ranked)
Weeks on the chart:  1

Former 98 Degrees leadman, Nick Lachey tries his luck with this post boy-band effort.  Nick teams up with Richard Marx on this typical adult contemporary love song.  Don't know what it is about this song, there is nothing unique about the song that hasn't been done before, but I just can't seem to stop listening to it.  It's one of those instant sing-along feel good songs that gets you into an instantly good mood.  And yes "We'll get there.  This I swear"  Good stuff.
