This week was a busy one folks so let's get straight into it with the top ten where we start with the unfortunate but predictable return of "Music" by Madonna to number one because basically nothing challenged it this week and sales were at least consistent.
It's closest competitor is "Most Girls" by Pink rising five places to number two this week on the back of a serious sales boost, hell, it's probably the reason why "On A Night Like This" by Kylie Minogue fell back to number three as it couldn't maintain those massive sales.
This places "Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary in an awkward spot because it shifted down one place to number four, it's sales really are slowly dying, it seems like it might fade out of the top ten soon enough but we'll have to see.
Robbie Williams held firm at number five this week with "Rock DJ" which is a good thing because right behind it is the highest debut this week coming from Madison Avenue with "Everything You Need" at number six...now I don't expect this song to last in the top ten but given it's not a good song I am annoyed its here.
Which is good news for the continued upward momentum of Craig David's "Walking Away" which rose three places to number seven, this could go top five soon however some of that rise can be put down to the sudden four place collapse of Anastacia's former chart topper "I'm Outta Love" down to number eight, sad but it's on its way out naturally
The same could be said for "Lucky" by Britney Spears which took a three place tumble to number nine.
Unfortunately rising sevn places to number ten is Bomfunk MC's "B-Boys & Flygirls". Can we just stop and not let this become a hit, please? Bad enough "Freestyler" got to number one.
Gains
So we've got two songs that broke into the top twenty this week with "Let's Get Loud" by Jennifer Lopez up from 23 to 19 and Madasun's pretty good "Don't You Worry" up two places to 20.
Beyond that...well... there's a ten place gain for Nine Days with "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" to 33. This song is as catchy as hell so I hope its a hit while "Friends Forever (Graduation)" by Vitamin C went up five places to 40.
Losers
"Day & Night" by Billie Piper lost all traction this week to slip twenty places to number 24 while "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon lost eleven places back to 46 which is a shame because I really like that song.
In much better news, "I Think I'm in Love With You" by Jessica Simpson crashed from 33 to 47 while Lonestar's "Amazed" dropped fourteen places to 50.
A song I am ambivalent on is "Could I Have this Kiss foreever" by Whitney Houston and Enrique Iglesias as it fell hard from 32 to 49.
"Toca's Miracle" by Fragma plunged nine places to 38 while it was a similar tale for "Say It Isn't So" by Bon Jovi as it dropped from 19 to 28.
Bardot's "Theae Days" skidded down six to 27 while "Breathless" by The Corrs is down nine places to 23.
Finally "The Real Slim Shady" by Eminem dropped from 16 to 22 and "Try Again" by Aaliyah dropped six places to 21.
New Entries
We have an interesting slew of new entries outside of Madison Avenue's "Everything You Need" at number six.
American band Wheatus have somehow managed to lodge their first ARIA chart single at number 15, the song is called "Teenage Dirtbag", the song is pretty good but still very weird it debuted this high.
At number 24 is Billie Piper's follow up to "Day & Night" called "Something Deep Inside"...I'm pretty meh about this one if i am to be honest, "Day & Night" feels more memorable.
Destiny's Child return at number 26 with "Bug A Boo", it's better than "Jumpin' Jumpin'"...I guess?
American R'n' B star Samantha Mumba has her first ARIA charting single with "Gotta Tell You" at number 32...I really like this song...might be the best of the new arrivals this week.
Finally, Green Day's "Minority" check in at number 36, again, this song is fine...it's a typical Green Day song.
