2000 Sound: 28th May: Vanessa Amorosi shines her way to a top five debut while Sisqo asks the ladies if he can see their thong

Alright so there's plenty helping this week including a slew of new entries. Pity that doesn't include the very top of our top ten where Destiny's Child rules for a fourth week with "Say My Name" however that grip on number one is being challenged by "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney Spears which is closing the sales margin and may well overtake "Say My name" next week.

All this leaves "Never be the Same Again" by Mel C and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes out in the cold a bit remaining at at number three as it's not really a challenger for number one right now, it just doesn't have the numbers the songs above it does.

For yet another week, there's a new entry to the chart in the top ten and it comes from Australian singer Vanessa Amorosi with "Shine", this ballad had an excellent first week of sales and yeah, it's nice to see an Aussie artist debut a new song so highly, it pushed "Adelante" by Sash! back to number five (I am just surprised this is hanging on as well as it is).

Pink's "There You Go" rose three places to number six and remains a contender to go top five, it's got some very real traction right now so wouldn't be surprised.

Toni Braxton continues to confound everything I said about top ten debuts a few weeks ago as "He Wasn't Man Enough" remains at number seven this week.

Bardot's "Poison" continues to fall, this time three places to number eight and really Pink's big move up to six might have triggered a domino effect because "Holiday" by Naughty by Nature took a one place fall to number nine and "Bye Bye Bye" by *NSYNC dropped four places to number ten...okay, that last one might have happened anyway.

Gains.

The slew of new entries meant that big gains were limited this week however Shaft's "Mambo Italiano" broke into the top ten up from 24 to 17 as did "Rock Me All Night" by Kaylan up from 22 to 18, those two brought along Matchbox Twenty's "Bent" which rose eight places to 19 this week.

M2M's "Mirror Mirror" rose six places to 30 this week. Again, I am not certain this song will be a hit.

Christine Anu's "Sunshine on a Rainy Day' rose ten places to 33 in one of the biggest gains of the week.

Re-Entries

Just the one return this week with Ilanda's "Breakin' There's No Stoppin' Us" back at number 38. 

Losers

There were plenty of big losers this week, Five's "Don't Wanna Let You Go" suddenly let go of number 19 to hit number 28 this week. 

:"Still" by Macy Gray got moving except it was in the wrong direction down from 21 last week to 35! Ouch!. "Bloke" by Chris Franklin lost it's ockers down nine to 39 this week.

Vanessa Amorosi's big top ten hit "Absolutely Everybody" suddenly hit the skids to fall ten places to 44 while Oblivia fell twelve places to 47 with "My Friend" and Christina Aguilera's ballad "I Turn to You" dropped nine places to 49 (not surprising, its a strange turn for Christina).

In the most pleasing news of this week is that "American Pie" by Madonna is on the brink of the exit dropping nine to fifty. Thank fucking christ for that. 

New Entries

We have a busy...and varied week in the new entries, folks. I already mentioned "Shine" by Vanessa Amorosi debuting in the top ten at number four but outside of that we also got rockers 28 Days with "Rip It Up" in at 16.

Finnish hip hop group Bomfunk MCs. have their first Australian charting song with "Freestyler" in at 22 (it's not a good song at all)

An American rock supergroup that includes Tool front man Maynard Keenan called A Perfect Circle are in at 25 with "Judith". Bit of a surprise there!.

Aqua's "Around the World" arrive at 36 while American hip hop act Sisqo has his first Australian charting song asking ladies if he can see their thong in "Thong Song" at number 40.

Dance act Groove Terminator arrive at 41 with "One More Time (The Sunshine Song)".
