**On 23th October BSB will release Chapter One, an album with all their singles. They could have called it Greatest Hits but according to them Greatest Hits will sound like if it was their last album and IT'S NOT. Kev said on MTV that is just a new chapter on BSB history and not the last. They will release a brand new album next year. Chapter 1 will be released as a CD, VHS and DVD with all their video clips.

**Drowning, which is going to be their new single will be included in Chapter One. They've recorded the video for it in LA. The director of the video is Paul Boyd. They will appear all dressed in black leather and some raining footage will be included too :) The video will be premiered on MTV on 17th September.

**Drowningis a beautiful song, and according to what they've said lately on MTV it's like a mixture of I Want It That Way and Show Me The Meaning. And it has a nice piano touch, it sounds great!
