2000 Sound: 21st May. Oops, Britney's debuted at number two

So let's get stuck straight in as  we've got a busy week here, starting with the top ten where Destiny's Child remains at number one for another week with "Say My Name" but unlike last week, it's now got a challenger because right behind it is Britney Spears with her lead single "Oops!...I Did It Again" at number two and this song is a challenger for number one with those sales!.

What's not a challenger is "Never Be the Same Again" by Mel C and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes which got pushed back to number three, its starting to slip on sales although radio still loves this song to pieces, I get the feeling this might become a staple.long term.

"Adelante" by Sash! remains steady at number four which is not what can be said "Poison" by Bardot which slipped two places to number five or for "Bye Bye Bye" by *NSYNC which dropped one place to number 7

Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough" rebounded this week up three places to number seven somehow. Not really sure I like the song but okay....


Naughty by Nature remain steady at number eight with "Holiday", they seem to be vacationing at that spot lately.

Into the top ten for the fiirst time is Pink with "There You Go" jumping two places to number nine while finally "Don't Give Up" by Chicane feat. Bryan Adams plummets four places to number ten.

Gains

The gains this week are all over the shop with the biggest being Westlife's "Flying Without Wings" which got a ten spot boost up to 31. 

Shaft's "Mambo Italiano" rose six places to 24 this wee as it continues it's rise. 

Losers

The biggest loser this week without question is Pearl James "Nothing As It Seems' which plummeted from number 7 to 29 this week! That's on trend with a number of top ten debuts lately.

Also falling hard was "Pray" by Tina Cousins which slipped from 32 to 46 this week...Ouch.

Hanson's "If Only" plunged nine to 44 while "Caught out There" by Kelis hit the skids down six to 39. and the underwhelming "Two in a Million" by S Cluh 7 drops from 25 to 32 (maybe after telling people you are a party band, not the best idea to drop a sappy ballad as your next single0.

New Entries

It's a fairly busy week for new entries and it wasn't just Britney Spears at number two with "Oops!...I Did It Again". Bon Jovi are back with "It's My Life" at number 12 (this song is potentially going to be huge on radio)

Christine Anu's cover of Zoe's 1990 hit "Sunshine on a Rainy" hits the chart at number 43.

Then we have a cluster of new entries starred by American country superstar Faith Hill's new song "Breathe" in at number 48 (a song that looks like being massive in the US), there's another UK boyband on the chart this time called Point Break and their tough sounding new single "Stand Tough" (Catchy chorus but my god those verses are kind of...yikes) at number 49 and finally electronic act Moloko hit the chart with "The Time is now at number 50.
