Ooh boy, this week is a busy one folks, strap in because we have one of the wildest and maybe most frantic weeks I've seen in some time, we have a couple of big moves into the top ten, a slew of new arrivals, some big moves up and down the chart and yes, a new number one.
So let's get to our top ten and our new number one and it comes as no surprise that the Seven Network's made by TV pop group Bardot comprising of Katie Underwood, Tiffani Wood, Sally Polihronas, Sophie Monk and Belinda Chapple have snared the number one spot with their debut single "Poison" (the song is okay but not great, I hope the band has better songs on their debut album) courtesy of the hype generated by the TV show Popstars and Seven which saw fantastic sales to allow such a debut at the top.
It was enough to unseat and push *NSync's "Bye Bye Bye" back to number two this week as it finally started to waver on sales.
This leads to not quite the biggest mover of the week but its definitely up there with Destiny's Child vaulting from number 13 to number 3 this week with "Say My Name" riding a huge wave of sales, this song could be headed to the top if Bardot wobble.
Then we have the gains made by "Adelante" by Sash! which climbed six places back up to number four this week. Good to see a electronic song do so well.
Killing Heidi's "Live Without it" climbed one place to number five this week as sales kept it steady.
You maybe wondering where last week's number two, "Candy" by Mandy Moore is at this point, well it's at number six having suffered a four place drop, it's on its way out of the top ten naturally now.
This takes us to the biggest mover of the week and a song I predicted will be huge, "Never Be the Same Again" by Mel C feat Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes which moved directly into the top ten at number seven up from 33 last week and is the biggest mover of the week.
Blink 182's "All The Small Things" is the sole song that managed to hold its place amid all the chaos at number eight. Not so lucky was "Pure Shores" by All Saints which fell five places to nine, it was the same case for "What's a Girl to do?" by Sister2 Sister down three at number ten.
Gainers
Our two big gainers are the two songs that I have already mentioned in the top ten this week but outside of that "Rock Me All Night" by Kaylan jumped eleven places to 28. Naughty by Nature rose six places to 26 with "Holiday"
Re-Entries
28 Days head the first of two returns to the chart this week with "Here We Go" back at number 43 while Regurgitator's "Freshmint!" us back at 46
Losers
It's chaos on the losers front this week so many hit songs just lost momentum and slid hard like "S Club Party" by S Club 7 sliding down to 30 from 16. while Len's "Steal My Sunshine" took a plunge from 29 to 40 this week while Christina Aguilera's "What A Girl Wants" tripped over a high heel to slip eleven places to 34 and Madonna's "American Pie" is almost gone dropping ten places to 22.
The Backstreet Boys also took a big hit with "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" dropping hard from 30 to 41, same happened for
"Bloke" by Chris Franklin hit 11, "Move Your Body" by Eiffel 65 stumbled to 13 and Jessica Simpson's still pretty awful "I Wanna Love you Forever" slipped on a banana peel to hit 16...all three of those aforementioned songs were in the top ten just last week!
Coco Lee's "Do You Want My Love?" is losing a little interest as dropped from 15 to 21 while Aqua's "Cartoon Heroes" plunged from 25 to 3 and Vengaboys "Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine" skidded down to 36 from 28
Finally the song that never really caught fire, Marc Anthony's "I Need to Know" crashed 12 places to land at 50.
What triggered all this could well be the big movers into the top ten but also our new entries this week so let's to those, shall we?
New Entries
I have already mentioned Bardot's big debut at number one with "Poison" which is obviously the highest debut of the week but beyond that, at number 14 is a Scottish rock band hailing from Glasgow called Travis with "Why Does it Always Rain On Me?" (I actually don't mind this song if I am going to be honest0.
At 20 is an odd pairing British musician and composer Chicane (real name is Nicholas Bracegirdle) who has teamed up with Bryan Adams for a new entry called "Don't Give Up"
American country rock band Lonestar have hit the chart with a song likely to be used at wedding receptions for years to come, the song is called "Amazed" and it's in at number 42.
Finally almost on the same line of wedding reception song cheese is Enrique Iglesias new single "Be with You" which enters the chart at 44.
This was a wild week, folks, next week will be a question of whether Bardot can hang on to number one with the threats of Destinys Child, Mel C and *NSYNC just behind them.
