2000 Sound: 16th July. Vengaboys sing Shalala Lala from the lofty heights of the top ten.

This week is mixed, sure the current number one is still terrible but we got a fairly slow week overall so I ain't complaining, yes, "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MCs remains at number one because sales remain consistent at least ahead of "I'm Outta Love" by Anastacia steady at number two as this song has got radio on board so I wouldn't be surprised if it does go number one in the next few weeks.

"Thong Song" by Sisqo isn't a player though remains at number three, same for "Who the Hell Are You" by Madison Avenue stuck at number four.

Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" went up one place this week to number five, am surprised at how well this song is doing on the chart, seems people like this defiant rock song, it passed "Spinning Around" by Kylie Minogue which just doesn't have the sales to stick around anymore

The big surprise is from Vengaboys with "Shalala Lala" jumping seven spots to number seven his week. Not sure how or why as the song isn't all that good...slightly over produced if anything.

"Toca's Miracle" by Fragma remains at number eight while "Day & Night" by Billie Piper is sticking to number nine.

Finally "Shine" by Vanessa Amorosi returns to the top ten at number ten this week which is good to see!

Gains

So apart from Vengaboys big move into the top ten, what else rose this week? Well, "I Should've Never Let You Go" by Bardot rose from 23 to break into the top twenty at 17 this week while Killing Heidi also broke into the top twenty, rising five to 20 with "Live Without It".

The biggest gain though comes from The Corrs with "Breathless" rising from 42 to 27 this week! This song looks set to be a hit.

Lo-tel's "Teenager of the Year" rose five places to 34 while Faith Hill's "Breathe" recovered from 43 to 38.

Re-Entries

Three returns this week with the biggest coming Real Blondes with "I Won't Let Go" at number 39, Savage Garden's "Crash and Burn" is back at 44 and finally and maybe most surprisingly "Move Your Body" by Eiffel 65 returned at 45..that last one is a bit of a strange one.

Losers

So we had a couple of top ten hits take major plunges this week with "He Wasn't Man Enough" by Toni Braxton collapsing from 10 to 21 while "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney Spears dropped from 19 to 32,  "What's A Girl to Do" by Sister2Sister dropped from 28 to 36 and "Don't Give Up" by Chicane feat. Bryan Adams dived from 34 to 48 this week...ouch.

"The Call" bv Backstreet Boys is getting hung up on as it fell nine places to 50, "Why Does It Always Rain On me" by Travis dried up from 35 to 41 and "Mambo Italiano" by Shaft hit 33 down from 26.

New Entries

So only two new entries this week with the highest of them being from American R'n'B superstar Aaliyah with her new single "Try Again" debuting at number 15 on the ARIA singles chart, this song is pretty damn good, it's set to be a smash hit in the US.

The only other new entry is from American rock band Vertical Horizon with a song called "Everything You Want" at number 46. Again, this is also a pretty good song, hope it becomes a hit for them.
