2000 Sound: April 16. Girl bands and former members there of.

So this week is a busy one, not for our top four but for the rest of the chart with some moves that could have a few songs in the top ten looking over their shoulders and a new arrival in the top ten so let's get to that top ten where for yet another week, it's *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" at number one and really its almost an open question of whether or not it's strong enough to hold off the arrival of the new single arriving on the chart next week from reality TV show pop group Bardot because it held it's ground over "Candy" by Mandy Moore at number two, "Bloke by Chris Franklin stuck at number three and All Saints "Pure Shores" at number four

The first of our movers in the top ten comes at number five where Eiffel 65 live up to the name of their song with "Move Your Body" up one place this week, it held on despite the biggest new arrival coming from Killing Heidi with "Live Without It" debuting at number six - I am not a fan of this song unfortunately, both "Weir" and "Mascara" are much better than this.

All of that forced Sister2Sister down two places to number seven with "What's a Girl to Do?" as it loses steam slowly.

Surprisingly "All The Small Things" by Blink 182 rose one place to eight, I genuinely thought this would fall off after a week but it's sticking around.

Sadly what else is sticking around is "I Wanna Love You Forever" by Jessica Simpson up one place to number nine because people think this boring slog is worth anything.

Finally "Adelante" by Sash! fell off their debut last week plunging three places to number 10.

Gains

So biggest gainer this week belongs to American R & B group Destiny's Child whose song "Say My Name" has suddenly risen from 30 to 13. Not bad for a song that only re-entered the charts a few weeks ago!

Also having a sizeable gain is Five's "Don't Wanna Let You Go" which jumped from 36 to 22 this week. I don't mind that, the song is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

No Doubt's "Ex-Girlfriend" went up five to number 12 while Madison Avenue's "Don't Call Me Baby" rose six places to 44.

Re-Entries

Two re-entries this week with Naughty by Nature's "Holiday" back in the chart at 31 while "Tarantella 2000" by Linguini Brothers is back at 48.

Losses.

Most of the big losses seem to come for former top ten hits like "Mascara" by Killing Heidi which slipped nine to 27 and "The Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang which hit 35 from 23 last week and Hanson's "If Only" which fell eight places to 20 while 'I see You Baby" by Groove Armada fell from 33 to 43.

Then there are the non starters that lost ground like "Affirmation" by Savage Garden which dropped from 32 to 41 and "Run to the Water" by Live which fell from 38 to 46 this week.

New Entries 

So we have several other new entries besides "Live without it" by Killing Heidi at number six, we have to go all the way to 24 to find the debut hit for American singer Alecia Moore aka Pink with "There You Go" entering at 24 this week

Former Spice Girl Mel C has teamed up with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes for chill ballad "Never Be the Same Again" which has arriving at number 33, keep your eye on this one, this could well be huge.

Unfortunately Limp Bizkit fill the unwanted bad rock presence in the new entries with the pretty awful "Break Stuff" in at number 47.

Finally Santana has hit up Everlast for a collab in an attempt to follow the success of "Smooth" with Rob Thomas, the song is called "Put Your Lights on" and it has debuted at number 50.
