  Path to number one cleared for Gareth
Updated 06 July 2002, 13.18
Gareth Gates
Gareth Gates' bosses have been accused of clearing the path to the number one chart spot for his new single, according to the Sun.

For the last three weeks, JXL's Elvis Presley remix - A Little Less Conversation - has been number one. Gareth's record company, BMG, are in charge of that single too.

But BMG have now stopped supplying shops with copies of it so people can't buy it anymore.

Bosses at the record company, including Pop Idol's Mr Nasty Simon Cowell, are apparently surprised at how well it's done.

And now they are worried it will ruin the chances of Gareth's new record - Anyone Of Us - reaching the top chart spot, says the Sun.

Because BMG have spent so much money on the young star, they want to make sure this effort does just as well as his debut single, Unchained Melody.

The single, Gareth's second, is due out on Monday but we'll have to wait another week to see if it makes number one.
