Hello
Charlotte Fans, October has truly
been an amazing and busy month.
Enchantment started out the month as a
headline and is now a very real and
important worldwide success for Charlotte.
We've watched a long list of
appearances grow small as corresponding
coverage was added and we've seen
Charlotte give a stunning performance at
Showtime in the Stadium. All and all, a
very exciting time to be a fan of
Charlotte's work. We close out the
month with updates as usual here is the
list of what has been added since last
time:
UKMark
and DutchMark's coverage
from Showtime in the Stadium has been
completed with the final addition of the
concert report. Mark and Mark
covered every single performance that
night making it one of the most, if not
the most comprehensive
articles on the event to be found. Of
course the coverage focuses on Charlotte's
contribution with a
great set of photos from the show not
previously seen. Coverage
of Charlotte's
appearance on Open House is now
complete as well with the addition of 45
New Still photos yesterday and the 10
minute video interview on Monday.
Thanks to UKMark & DutchMark for
coverage from this event as well. The
UK
Television advertisement for Enchantment
has been uploaded today, it has some
subtle differences from the North American
Advert. Both videos have been placed on the
same page for eaiser access. After
a month long hibernation, the Weekly
Media Features are back. Archives from
the past month are available as well. This
week we have a new interview with
Charlotte from Entertainment Today. Check
out the updated Weekly Media Features page
here. Both
the Charlotte Daily News
and the Enchantment
News sites have been busy, check them
both for the latest news updates as they
are received. If
you receive Oxygen on your cable or
satellite system be sure to tune in to
Pure Oxygen as Charlotte will be
appearing. It is not known whether this
will be a repeat or not so please stand by
for the coverage. Check The
Forums for the latest. That
does it for today and October, thank you
for making this the busiest month,
statistically speaking, for the site,
ever. November promises to be
exciting as well so stay tuned.

Hello
Charlotte Fans, we hope you've been
having a great weekend. As usual, there is
much to review since the last update so
let's start. Charlotte has been quite busy
Enchanting the UK with a big promotional
run that will hopefully translate into
chart success. We've been covering her
tour every step of the way, this week we
started off with the GMTV
coverage and we finish it off with Open
House. Since the last update, GMTV
has gained the full complement of videos,
still captures will be arriving shortly.
Yesterday we uploaded the first round of
coverage from Open
House. This is very special as UKMark
and DutchMark attended the taping and they
give you a behind the scenes look at the

Chart. Finally, Charlotte has
postponed/cancelled concert in Athens,
Greece. For all the details on these story
and more visit the Charlotte
Daily News Page. Since
the last update, Charlotte has appeared in
OK!
Magazine's 2 November issue. The magazine
features 3 pieces on Charlotte including
an Interview
and 2 new photos: One from the British
National TV Awards and one from Showtime.
Thanks to UKMark for this.
In
addition to the Television coverage there
are some more media clips for you to
enjoy. Audio clips from Charlotte's
performance of "Don't Rain On
My Parade" from Showtime at the
Stadium can be found here.

Hello
Charlotte Fans, At this moment,
Enchantment should be in most retailers
throughout the UK and a good deal of
Europe. As always, delays can occur but
nevertheless, the second big launch day is
here. If you're new to Enchantment or
would just like to learn more, visit the
Enchantment Microsite, it has the most
comprehensive set of information about the
album so far including lyrics. If you've
just purchased the album today and would
like to submit your own review please
click the Fan
Reviews section. Much more to come to
the site in the coming days if you've been
looking over Charlotte's
tour schedule, you'll know why. Now,
back to the main feature that we started
this weekend
"Showtime at The Stadium".
Yesterday a great deal was added to this
feature as UKMark and DutchMark submitted
their first update. Sections updated
are
Introduction, Photos,
Post-Concert
Press and Broadcast
Information. The bulk is still yet to
come including the much anticipated
Concert Report. More on this in the next
update.
.With
the Showtime concert over with, focus is
already starting to shift to the next
concert event in Athens Greece. Kate of
Team Greece has loaded scans
from the concert preview that arrived this
weekend. These will be a novelty for those of you who can't read Greek but it's further proof of Charlotte's worldly appeal.
We'll have coverage of the concert for you next weekend.
For ticketing info visit the Concert
Preview Page. Finally,
two great magazine Scans have been loaded
by UKMark and DutchMark, first is from "Welsh
Mirror" dated 20 October, second
is from "The
Saturday Express", and article we
mentioned in the last update. It too is
dated 20 October. Both can be found in the
Magazine Archives. That
is it for today, continue to check the

Hello
Charlotte Fans, today is the big day
in Cardiff for tonight Showtime at The Stadium will begin. If you've been keeping up with things at the site you know that Charlotte is going to take the stage and perform "If I loved you" from Carousel alongside some of the hottest acts in the music scene.
In keeping with our tradition in bringing you coverage from every event Charlotte takes part in, today we kick off our feature coverage of
Showtime at The
Stadium. Covering the event live for us are UKMark and DutchMark who should be on their way to Cardiff as you read this.
We hope to bring you a Charlotte Fan's perspective of this massive event.
If you live in the UK you can listen to the concert live, visit
the Listen
Live! Page in the Showtime Feature for more details. Since
our last update, Charlotte has made quite
a few headlines outside of the
obvious Showtime at the Stadium coverage.
Firstly and most importantly, Enchantment
has debuted at the #15 spot on the
Billboard 200 chart making Enchantment an
incredible success already. In addition
Enchantment is also riding high in
position 11 on the Canadian soundscan
chart and #13 on the Billboard Internet
Sales chart. For all the chart talk visit
the news page on the
Enchantment site. In other news
Charlotte has been nominated for a WRIT
award, the Welsh answer the the BRIT
awards in the category of "Best
Female Solo Artist". For More info on
the WRITS and the competition Charlotte
faces visit the News Page. October
has moved along quite quickly and believe
it or not, Monday is the release day for
Enchantment in the UK and Europe.
Corresponding with the release are several
media events which you can find on the Enchantment
Tour Page. Much more on the media
events starting next week. Probably the
most visible evidence of this can be found
on the cover of theSaturday Express which
should be on UK newsstand as you read
this. The UK Release of Enchantment will
differ from the North American releases in
that it will include "It's the
Heart that Matters Most" as track 17.
For links to purchase the UK album visit the
Buy Enchantment page. While we're on
the subject of releases, Our Favorite
Things has landed in North America. For a
quick preview of what to expect see the
other releases page or visit
this thread in the Forums. Thanks to
Lourdes, who is probably one of the
first to receive the album for the
preview. That
does it for the first update today, check
back later for the first word from
Cardiff.

Hello
Charlotte Fans, there is much to
update you on in terms of additions to the
site since the last update on Saturday so
lets get right to it. There are two more
additions to our ongoing coverage of
Charlotte's Enchantment Tour. First is
coverage from Charlotte's appearance on
"Live
with Regis and Kelly" which aired
on Monday.
We have full coverage as usual with video.
Next is the surprise appearance last night
on Larry
King Live in which Charlotte sang
"Amazing Grace" as a tribute to
those who perished in the 11 September
attacks. Again full coverage with
video is available for this as well. Be
sure to visit the Enchantment
Tour Homepage to catch up on all the
completed events and to mark down upcoming
dates. Thanks to Donald in the forums for
making sure we did not miss
Larry King Live last night. While
much of the focus has been on the events
in the USA so far, we are ready to hand the
torch off to Team Europe for the second
leg of the Enchantment Tour. This weekend
Charlotte will appear in Cardiff for Showtime
in the Stadium. It's hard to believe
how quickly this date has approached us
but if you would like the background on
the concert read
our preview. UKMark and DutchMark will
be on the scene to bring you the story
from Cardiff and we'll also be posting
broadcast info on the event shortly so you
can find out how to catch it yourself.
While on the topic of Showtime in the
Stadium, Heat
Magazine has a preview of the event
coverage on BBC Radio 2 in this scan
sent in by UKMark. It
was also announced on Tuesday that
Charlotte will be one of the performers at
this year's Royal Variety Show to be held
in November. Catch up on all the press
related to this announcement on the
news page. That
does it for today, stay tuned for all the
latest on the Enchantment
Tour and Showtime
in the Stadium. As always, check the
forums for up to the minute
announcements. -

Hello
Charlotte Fans, what an amazing week!
Chances are if you bought Enchantment
you're unable to stop playing it and if
you haven't, the anticipation must
be incredible. If you look at the
fan reviews of the album, the general
feeling is this album is work of total brilliance
that marks a new high point in Charlotte's
career. However, if you're looking for
confirmation of this sentiment by the
professional critics, you'll most certainly
find it there as well. Yesterday,
People Magazine reviewed Enchantment as
well and only added to the tidal wave of
praise. Read
the acclaim for enchantment here.
Thanks to Elissa for the
People review. Since
our last update we've been busy on
some other additions as well,
largest of these being the beginning of
the Enchantment
Lyrics Project . As the name suggests
this is a project to compile the entire
lyrics for Enchantment. So far we must say
the project has been an overwhelming
success and we're nearly complete with the
first round. The current set is a bit
rough but we'll continue to polish
everything until it is perfect. The
following people have contributed to the
project, we thank them for helping it to
get off the ground so quickly: Lourdes,
Douglas, Job, Jim, Lea, Kate, Monica,
Ravenal, Brigette, and Phillip. As always,
CharlotteChurch.net remains the only
place where you can find lyrics
to all of Charlotte's albums. Yet
another update to the Enchantment site
came yesterday with the addition of a
short segment on Charlotte and Enchantment
from KUSD TV in San Diego. View the video
and captures here.
Thanks to Dave for catching this as
always. While we're on the subject
of TV
appearances, remember to catch
Charlotte on Regis and Kelly, Monday and
we've added the repeat date for Charlotte's
latest appearance on the Tonight Show with
Jay Leno. It will repeat on the
23rd of October. Finally
today, Logan has two brand new wallpapers
uploaded to the
Wallpaper Gallery bringing the total
to 34 sets. This latest set is based on
Charlotte's appearance in The
Times magazine. Check them out. That
finishes up today, enjoy your weekend and
stay tuned for the latest.

Hello
Charlotte Fans, we hope you've had a
chance to experience Enchantment.
I don't think we've everitnessed such
excitement surrounding a release from
Charlotte. However, before we go any
further , many of you overseas and
probably a good deal in the USA are
probably wondering where is our Today Show
coverage? Unfortunately, this was the only
dark spot on an otherwise perfect day. If
you watched the Today Show you saw
that all time was devoted to
ongoing coverage of the military
engagement in the Afganistan and to the
September 11th tragedy. Despite
announcements from Sony that Charlotte
would be on, she wasn't. We'll continue to
tape Today for you all week incase she
shows but otherwise stay tuned for a
possible rescheduling. Charlotte is still scheduled
to appear on Regis and Kelly , this
coming Monday. Now,
back to Enchantment. If you haven't
already be sure to visit the
Enchantment Microsite. This brand new
site dedicated to Enchantment is your link
to all the news, info, reviews and fan
opinion on the new album. Notable updates
since yesterday include two great new
reviews added to the
acclaim section, the fully
updated track listings including the
Target Special Edition and loads of new Fan
Reviews. The Enchantment site is
constantly being updated so check early
and often to make sure you are plugged
into the latest on Charlotte's new album. Finally
today, we have a magazine clipping for
you. This one is from People Magazine
dated 15 October 2001. It features a
picture of Charlotte and Robin Williams
from the
Las Vegas Benefit Concert. Also before
we sign off this update, it is important
to remind all viewers in the UK that are
interesting in attending the taping of
Open House featuring Charlotte, on the
25th of October, that free tickets are
still available. Visit the
news page and scroll down to the Open
House post to learn how you can be part of
the audience as well. That's it for today,
if you want to post your praises of
Enchantment be sure to visit the
Fan Reviews page. Stay tuned for the
latest. -

Hello
Charlotte Fans,
the excitement surrounding
Enchantment only days before
it's release in North America is
rather amazing. Right now, the
pre-order is sitting at #12
Amazon.com's overall list. All
this before the main promotional
push arrives in earnest. If
you've been visiting all week
we've been focusing on Charlotte's
performance on Jay Leno
which occurred Thursday. If you
didn't get a chance to watch this
performance live, take a
look at our feature complete
with audio/video and images.
There
is some important news to report
today and this is in regards to
the Enchantment CD we suggest you
own. Yesterday, Target Stores
announced they will be carrying a
Special Edition featuring two
bonus tracks. The CD will retail
for $11.88. Click
here view a copy of the advert
which you can find in your Sunday
paper today. If you leave near a
Target, don't hesitate, this is
the best deal you will find. If
you recall, last year Target did
the same thing with Dream
a Dream and it was immediately
the most sought after version.
We've
got two new magazine posts from
the UK for you to see if you
haven't already. The first is from
The Sun, posted on 3 October. It
features
a new shot of Charlotte that
has been released to the press,
thanks to Steve of Team UK
for this. The second
magazine is a special feature The
Times Magazine did on Charlotte
yesterday, it's a very candid
interview with never before seen
photos. Thanks to UKMark for
getting this uploaded only hours
after it was on newsstands.
Finally,
Laura has some new contributions
in the Visual
Art Gallery, inspired by
"Enchantment". That's it
for now, this is going to be one
of the most exciting and busy
weeks of the year, we'll try to
cover it for you every step of the
way.

Hello
Charlotte Fans,
it's the beginning of a busy
week and even busier month for
Charlotte. For some this is the
month we've all been waiting
for. We're just going to run
through what was added on the
weekend today. Last time we
talked, Charlotte was set to
perform in Las Vas for the Grand
Slam for Children benefit. Early
yesterday morning we
posted our coverage from that
event complete with photos
and press. Today we've added
some more photos
and a press article that
goes into more depth about
Charlotte's performance. Thanks
to Tanya for that. Of course,
this is the start of Charlotte's
promo tour in North America,
remember she'll be on the
Tonight Show with Jay Leno
,Thursday.
On
Sunday we added video
clips of Charlotte's Enchantment
TV Advert. If you haven't had
a chance to catch this on TV, look
no further. We have it available
in high and low quality streaming
as well as super high quality MPEG
video. Excitement for Enchantment
is obviously growing, not even
released, it's currently on
Amazon's Top 50 albums hovering
around 33.
That
is it for today, set your VCR's to
NBC on Thursday night...of course
we'll remind you even if you
forget:)-
