2000 Sound: 3rd September. Say It Isn't So! A new number one...

 So this week kind of feels like a little bit of a disappointment, we had two new entries to the top ten plus other new entries outside of that along with a few songs arriving in the top ten along with shifts up and down the chart but lets deal with the top ten because we have a song debuting on the chart this week at number one..."Music" by Madonna...let's not mince words here, the song is one of Madonna's worst of her career, it's absolutely awful but none the less it rode massive sales to reach the top spot. 

It was enough to dethrone "I'm  Outta Love" by Anastacia which fell back to number two as it couldn't quite match Madonna on sales with the same going for "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child down on to number three and "We Will Rock You" by Five and Queen down to number four. 

Britney Spears climbed one place to number five with "Lucky" while "Life is a Rollercoaster"  by Ronan Keating jumped two places to number six, then there's "Breathless' by The Corrs which remains steady at number seven.

Mary Mary hit the top ten for the first time up seven spots to eight and is looking like having a huge hit with "Shackles (Praise You)" (kind of interesting there considering the religious subtext of the song)

Then we have the second new entry on the chart debuting in the top ten with "Say It Isn't So" by Bon Jovi...I'm pretty meh on this one...it's not quite as as good as "It's My Life".

Finally rising four places to number ten is "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams...a strange song that has grown on me a fair bit..


Gains

A quiet week for the gains. Britney Spears "Lucky" with the biggest gain of the week. Several songs including Morcheeba's "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" and Wonderful" by Everclear rose four places but other than that...pretty quiet.


Re Entries

Just the one return this week with "Blow Up The Pokies" by The Whitlams back at 46.


Losers

Kaylan's "Shake It" shook down 22 places to 39 this week and is the biggest loser of the week while "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MCs dropped ten places to 15. There was an eight place loss for "So Real" by Mandy Moore down to 48 while "Thong Song" by Sisqo also plunged eight places to 33. 

"Breathe" by Faith Hill dropped six places to 38 while "Just Around the Hill" by Sash! plummeted from 42 to 49. 

Powderfinger's "My Happiness" took a dive down eight to 12 while "Shalala Lala" by Vengaboys slipped five to 14.


New Entries

So all up there are four new entries this week with "Music" by Madonna at number one, "Say It Isn't So" by Bon Jovi at number 9.


Mel C is trying to follow up "Never Be the Same Again" with her ballad "I Turn To You" debuting at 16 while Fuel are back on the charts at number 50 with "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)
