So this week is a fairly normal week, a slew of new arrivals and movement up and down the chart except most exasperatingly at number one where Madonna remains with "Music" however this could have strong competition from Kylie Minogue's new single "On A Night Like This" which will debut next week so we'll have to see what happens.
All this places "Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary in an awkward place because while it moved up three places to number two, it's not really a show of getting to number one yet however it still pushed Anastacia's "I'm Outta Love" down one to number three as it gracefully heads toward the exit of the top ten.
Up two to number four following a really good sales week is "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams, it's looking comfortable in the top five right now especially as it pushed past "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child down one to number five and "Lucky" by Britney Spears down three to number six. Both the latter songs look to have run out of puff now.
"We Will Rock You" by Five and Queen which recovered one spot to number seven although I don't expect that recovery to continue given there are songs with momentum behind it which isn't the case for "Life is a Rollercoaster" by Ronan Keating down one to number eight as it lost sales this week however if you want an example of momentum check out Pink's "Most Girls" which rose from 21 to hit the top ten at number nine and looks like it could climb further in the weeks ahead.
Wrapping up the top ten is "Try Again" by Aaliyah up one place to return to the top ten at number ten.
Gains
I already mentioned the big gain for Pink's "Most Girls into the top ten at number nine but Girl Thing's "Last One Standing" is into the top twenty rising from 22 to 17 this week while Mel C's "I Turn to You" is up five to 11.
Kaylan's "Shake It" is one of the biggest gains this week though as it shook all the way from 35 to 19 this week...now that is shaking the chart!
"B-Boys & Flygirls" by Bomfunk MCs rose eight to 24 while unfortunately Jennifer Lopez has risen 11 places to 27 with "Let's Get Loud"
Morcheeba's "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" built on its gains as it went up eight places to 28.
Re-Entries
Just the one return with "Blow Up the Pokies" by The Whitlams back at 43 (would love for this song to get a consistent run on the chart somehow)
Losers
I mentioned Kylie's new single "On a Night Like This" coming next week, well her former number one "Spinning Around" is heading out of the chart as it plunged from 34 to 47 this week while "Doesn't Really Matter" by Janet Jackson dropped nine places to 48
"Breathe" by Faith Hill dropped from 41 to 49 this week while Madison Avenue's "Who the Hell are You?" took a much welcome hit from 25 to 39 as did "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MCs which dropped from 24 to 38,,,thank goodness.,the latter two are terrible songs.
Unfortunately Powderfinger's "My Happiness" slipped down 10 places to 25 while "Shalala Lala" by Vengaboys skidded down nine places to 21.
New Entries
The biggest new entry of the week belongs to Boyz II Men as "Pass You By" debuts at 13. I am not sure if this will be a hit so we'll have to see.
Belginn singer-songwrier Lara Fabian hits the ARIA chart with "I Will Love Again at 31 while American pop singer Mandy Moore enters ballad "I Wanna Be With You" at number 33.
A song that I sure is going to get a lot of radio play is "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by American rock band ninedays...this song is as catchy as sin and has lodged itself on the chart at 41
American singer Colleen Fitzpatrick otherwise known as Vitmin C has lodged "Graduation (Friends Forever)" at number 46.
Finally 28 Days wind up this week perfectly with their new single "Goodbye" debuting at number 50
