2000 Sound: 14th May. Ayyy ROCK ON!!!!

Let's not waste any time this week and get stuck into it beginning with the top ten where Destiny's Child spend a second week at number one with "Say My Name" and really it looks a pretty dominant number one right now.

It's closest competition is coming from "Never Be The Same Again" by Mel C and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes which rose one place to number two, this song's radio presence is quite something else which is odd because the radio won't touch Spice Girls but anyway this song pushed "Poison" by Bardot down to number three as the hype continues to fade.

Sash! saw "Adelante" move up one place to number four as sales remain consistent, I don't think it's a player for number one but this song is more than holding it's own although it could be more that "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC started to weaken and fell one place to number five.

"Don't Give Up" by Chicane feat. Bryan Adams rose two places to number six because somehow people want an empowerment anthem.

Another week, another new entry in the top ten, this time from Pearl Jam with "Nothing As It Seems" riding solid sales to debut at number seven, it won't last in the top ten though.

Naughty by Nature climbed one place to number eight for their "Holiday" while Leah Haywood is back in the top ten at number nine having rose two places this week with "We Think It's Love".

Finally not quite proving my point back number seven, we have Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough" which fell four places to number ten.


Gains

Lonestar's "Amazed" got a massive jump this week rising 14 places to 26 somehow mainly due to it being easy listening wedding fodder.

Macy Gray's completely unmemorable "Still" climbed five places to 21 while "Crash and Burn" by Savage Garden rose from 22 to 15...

Re-Entries

Speaking of Savage Garden, "Affirmaton" is back at 50...

Losers

Not much in this category here except that "American Pie" by Madonna dropped seven to 40 thank goodness while "Pray" by Tina Cousins dropped from 23 to 32 this week and "Generator" by Foo Fighters also lost power down to 38.

"Candy" by Mandy Moore fell out of he top ten to hit 13.

New Entries

I've already mentioned Pearl Jam in the top ten but it's not the last of the rock leaning songs new this week because at number 28 is "Bent" by Matchbox Twenty, this song is doing big things in the US, looks set to be a hit here while Aussie rockers Oblivia hit the chart at 36 with "My Friend"

Steering back toward pop, in at number 37 is M2M's ballad "Mirror Mirror" - a song that plays on the Snow White tropes a fair bit, not sure this is going to be the hit they are after, speaking of pop ballads, Chtistina Aguilera is back with "I Turn to You" at number 42.

Finally Ilanda team up with Jackie for "Breakin' There's no Stoppin' Us" which debuts at 43
