2000s Sound: 12th March

This week is...interesting, we've got two new entries to the top ten with one of them entering at number one,some interesting shifts in the top ten but overall it was a pretty standard week with no real wild shifts up and down the chart so let's get to the top ten first of all and this where my excitement fades a little because debuting at number one is Madonna's trimcated cover of Don McLean's classic "American Pie"which turns the song into karaoake tailor made for Madge and loses the entire meaning of the song however strong sales were enough to see it get to number one.

"American Pie" did push Chris Franklin's "Bloke" back to number two this week as it lost the sales lead and it was the same for S Club 7's "S Club Party" which fell one placr to three but it looks to be vulnerable to Eiffel 65's 'Move Your Body" which rose two places to number  four this week thanks to excellent sales.

Similar story for All Saints as "Pure Shores" recovered to rebound up three places to number five, this song is shaping to be the girl group's biggest hit in Australia since "Never Ever"

It was enough to push "Candy" by Mandy Moore down one place to number six while Killing Heidi's "Mascara" took a four place tumble to number seven as sales start to slow for that song.

Vanessa Amorosi's 'Absolutely Everybody" rebounded two places to number eight this week with the big story is the sudden 5 place drop for 'I Try"  by Macy Gray to number nine.

The second of of the new entries in the top ten is Australian duo Sister2Sister managing to land following single "What's A Girl to Do?" at number ten this week, Great effort by Sharon and Christine Muscat.

Gains

Not much in the way of big gains this week with Aqua's "Cartoon Heroes" which broke into the top 20 at number 17 up from 22 but the biggest gain came for Shania Twain's "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)" rising ren place to 33.

Re Entries

Filter's "Take A Picture" is back at 36 while "Can You Feel?" by Taxiride lobs back in at 49

Losers

Not many major losers with the biggest being former top ten hit "Don't Say You Love Me" by M2M plunging from 33 to 48 this week. Ouch!

Deni Hines "Pull Up to the Bumper" dropped nine places to 45 while former number one "Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 dropped eight places to 35

New Entries

So to recap: Madonna's "American Pie" debuted at number one while Sister2Sister lodged "What's A Girl to Do" at number ten.

Outside of that there's a new entry at number 27  for a collab between Mariah Carey, Joe and 98 Degrees called "Thank God I Found You" (It's a bit too saccharine and sappy for me).

The Linguini Brothers are in at 32 with "Tarantella 2000" and finally Aussie trio The Robertson Brothers are in at 50 with "The Lost Love Song"
