2000s Sound: 20th February: "I Try" retakes number one as the chart is hit by an influx of new entries

We have a wild week in the top ten this week. A new entry debuting in the top ten, one of last week's debuts rising into the top ten but more importantly a change at number one so let's get right down to it.

The change at number one is that former number one "I Try" by Macy Gray has re-taken the top sport after a surprisingly strong sales week which pushed  "Mascara" by Killing Heidi down to number two as sales began to fall off.

What might be the big threat is the big mover and the first of three songs either into the top ten or debuting in the top ten this week with "Bloke" by Chris Franklin rising twelve places to number three. This novelty song has a serious shot at number one sadly.

S Club 7 remained not bothered as "S Club Party" kept going for another week at number four.

Len had a bit of their sunshine taken by Chris Franklin as "Steal My Sunshine" dropped two places to number five.

Vanessa Amorosi's "Absolutely Everybody" remains at number six while Bloodhound Gang got a very bad touch that "The Bad Touch" move down two places to number seven.

Tina Cousins has been praying for this moment as "Pray" rose four places to be the second of the songs into the top ten at number eight.

Christina Aguilera's 'What a Girl Wants" drops two places to number nine while there's a new entry by an eighteen year old American, Jessica Simpson with her single "I Wanna Love You Forever" arriving at number ten and landing highest debut of the week.

Gains

Some fairly limited gains this week with the biggest being for "Bloke" by Chris Franklin up twelve to number 3 as I have already mentioned.

Marc Anthony's "I Need to Know" is up from 32 to 25 this week but that's about it.

Losers

There were some big losers right across the board this week, let's begin at number 28 where we find Will Smith's "Will 2K" after a ten place drop this week.

"Waiting for Tonight" by Jennifer Lopez collapsed 13 places to 33. William Orbit's "Adagio for Strings" slumped 11 places to 34.

Deadstar's "Deeper Water" literally takes a deep plunge on the chart by dropping ten places to 38 while Aleesha Rome is still searching for heaven having dropped nine to 37 with "Search My Heaven". Cwline Dion's "That's the Way it is' dropped nine places to 43.

Cliff Richard's "The Millennium Prayer" had the biggest fall of the week dropping 16 places to 46 and finally TLC's "Dear Lie" dropped nine places to 47.

New Entries

We have an incredibly large number of new entries this week, I already mentioned Jessica Simpson at number ten with "I Wanna Love You forever" however another American blonde pop music youngster Mandy Moore has entered the chart at 16 with the rather catchy "Candy"

Hong Kong born American singer songwriter Coco Lee has her first ARIA chart entry with "Do You Want My Love" at number 20 while punk band 28 Days have the highest debuting Australian entry with "Here We Go at 21"

Oasis declare "Go Let It Out" in at 23.

Country superstar Shania T%wain is back with "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)" and it's bowed at 41 while Deni Hines arrives at 42 with "Pull Up to the Bumper"

Taxiride are wondering "Can You Feel" at number 45.

Rising American R 'n' B group Destiny's Child enter at 48 with "Say My Name"/

Finally Shaft are in at 50 with "(Mucho Mambo) Sway'
