2000 Sound: 9th January 2000. Uh...What the hell happened?

We have...unmitigated chaos on the chart this week, a LOT happened so we better get right to it, the only thing that didn't change was that "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 spent a ninth week at number one.

Madison Avenue climbed one place to number two with "Don't Call Me Baby" but from there? Well at number three is the first of several songs to climb into the top ten, Will Smith's "Will 2K" which rocketed up 13 places to number 3 somehow.

Jennifer Lopez has another top 5 hit with "Waiting for Tonight" jumping 5 places to number 4 while M2M up seven places with "Don't Say You Love Me" to number five (the song is off the Pokemon movie soundtrack)

UK boyband Five have climbed five places to claim the number six slot with "Keep On Movin'" wile making the biggest move of the week is Aussie band Killing Heidi as "Mascara" flies into the top ten from 38 to to number 7, its shaping as a potential future number one.

S Club 7 were one of the victims of all the shuffling with 'Bring It All Back" dropping four places to number 8 while  Cliff Richard's "The Millennium Prayer" was hit the hardest this week as it fell seven places to number 9

Finally "I Try" by Macy Gray drops three places to round out this week's top ten at number ten.

Gains

Already talked about some of the big gains in the top ten but the big gains were also in amongst the rest of the chart especially as "I See You Baby" by Groove armada has hit 27 from 40 this week while "Better off Alone" by Alice Deejay has hit 11 from 24 and "Steal My Sunshine" by Len hit 12 from 28!.

ATB's "Don't Stop" is up to 17 from 34 this week while "Pray" by Tina Cousins is one of the smaller gains this week up to 16 from 23

Losers

A lot of the losers are 1999 songs on their way out so "Sister" by Sister2Sister hit 15 from 6 and "Smooth" by Santana feat. Rob Thomas dropped to 14 from 5.

Meanwhile "Burning Down the House" by Tom Jones and The Cardigans burnt its way down from 13 to 20.

"That's the Way It is" by Celine Dion is going in the wrong direction by dropping eight places to 22.

"Weir" by Killing Heidi got hit hard dropping 14 places to 24 as did former chart topper "Last Kiss"  by Pearl Jam which stumbled 12 places to 32.
Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" hit the skids to 34 from 21 while Ricky Martin is shaking his bon bon all the way down nine places to 36 with "Shake Your Bon Bon"

Dropping eight places is The Vengaboys holiday song "We're going to Ibiza" to 38 while Backstreet Boys drop from 22 to 43 with "Larger than Life" and "I Got a Girl" by Lou Bega loses all its momentum to 46.


New Entries

So we have a lengthy list of new arrivals with the highest debut of the week belonging to Christina Aguilera's "What a Girl Wants", her follow up to "Genie In a Bottle" which was huge in 1999. "What A Girl Wants" is in at 21.

Speaking of second singles, S Club 7 are back with their new single "S Club Party" at 28 as "Bring It all Back" prepares to leave the top ten.

It was a hit in 1987 but Europe are trying to repeat their success with "The Final Countdown 2000" in at number 33.

TLC's new single "Dear Lie" is in at number 37 while American DJ/producer Paul Johnstone is in at 39 with "Get Get Down"
