2000 Sound: 7th May. Destiny's Child make you say their name at number one

We have a pretty interesting week on our hands here, plenty of switches everywhere and some new entries with one in the top ten so let's get right to it starting with the top ten and it's probably the right place to start because we do have a change at the top with Destiny's Child have snared their first ARIA singles chart topper with "Say My Name" and it was sheer numbers of sales and momentum that got them to number one, so much so it pushed Bardot's "Poison" down to number two this week as hype fades from Popstars.

Seems like the biggest rival to "Say My Name" might come from "Never Be the Same Again" by Mel C and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes which moved up two places to number three this week, this song also has some serious momentum behind it right now. Radio is loving this song right now, it pushed former chart topper "Bye Bye Bye" by *NSYNC down to number four as it bleeds on sales.

The same goes for "Adelante" by Sash! which slipped to number five this week due to sales just starting to fall off.

Toni Braxton has the week's highest new entry at number six with "He Wasn't Man Enough". There's an open question of whether this will stay in the top ten but its here due to a pretty strong sales week.

Heck, it blew past "Candy" by Mandy Moore which fell to number seven this week as it continues to fall away gracefully.

Chicane's "Don't Give Up" feat. Bryan Adams remains steady at number eight this week while Naughty By Nature make their first appearance inside the top ten with "Holiday" up six places to number nine.

Finally returning to the top ten is "What's a Girl to Do" by Sister2Sister but I don't expect it to stick around.

Gains

A big gain this week for "Mambo Italiano" by Shaft as it rose eleven places 34 this week to become the week's biggest mover on the chart.

Brian McKnight's "Back at One" rose nine places to 39 while Kaylan's "Rock Me All Night" jumped eight places to 25.

Pink's "There You Go" seems to be the song headed for the top ten as it rose five places to 14 wbile "Crash and Burn" does the exact opposite for Savage Garden in rising six places to 22.

Re-Entries

Two re-entries this week with Westlife back at number 35 with their song "Flying without Wings" while Enrique Iglesias is back on the chart at number 36 with "Be With You"

Losers

Oof. It was a busy week on this front but let's start off with the songs that were top ten hits that lost big this week like Killing Heidi's "Live Without It" which plunged 20 places to 38 and the band's chart topping hit "Mascara" run down 14 places to 48, S Club 7's "S Club Party" is headed for a bad hangover as it dropped from 35 to 49 while "American Pie" by Madonna dropped from 25 to 32 this week and Chris Franklin's "Bloke" lost some of its oomph by skidding down seven places to 21.

"All the Small Things" by Blink 182 dropped seven places out of the top ten to 17 but frankly I am stunned it stayed in the top ten for so long.

Tom Jones and Mousse T's "Sex Bomb" continues to fail to detonate as it slid eleven places to 50 and Alice Deejay's "Back in My Life" slipped from 38 to 47.

New Entries

I have already talked about the new entry in the top ten for Toni Braxton with "He Wasn't Man Enough" at number six so we have just two other new entries to mention here with the first of those coming from American rock band Foo Fighters with their new single "Generator" in at 31.

Finally UK boy band A1 hit the chart with "Summertime of Our Lives" at number 44.
