2000 Sound: 19th November. Who Let the Baha Men Out? Why Are Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis Cruisin?

 Well ain't this an interesting development? We have yet another brand new number one this week and a brand new entry in the top five so let's get stuck into it with the top ten where the new number one is the first for this American rock band....that's right....it's Wheatus with "Teenage Dirtbag" and it got there through extremely strong sales. 

Ir handily outsold "Groovejet (If this Ain't Love)" by Spiller which slipped back to number two, whether or not it can return to number one is an open question. 

A new entry in at number comes from a group hailing from the Bahamas called the Baha Men, the song is called "Who Let the Dogs Out"...the song is every bit as annoying as the title sounds.

The biggest mover of the week within the top ten comes from Vitamin C with "Friends Forever (Graduation)" rising six places to number four, this is a player for number one if any of the songs above it start showing weakness.

"Holler" by Spice Girls regains one place to number five because people don't realize that this song is not actually a very Spice Girls song. 

All of this meant the rest of the top ten either got pushed back or remained steady with "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin down two places to number six,  "Gotta Tell You" by Samantha Mumba down four to number seven and "Don't You Worry" by Madasun down one to number eight. Jennifer Lopez remained steady at number nine while Pink's 'Most Girls" finally looks to be on the way out down two spots to number ten.


Gains

"Original Prankster" by The Offspring went up six places to 29 while "Chain of Fools" by Jimmy Barnes went up five spots to 15.


Losers

Wow, we had a lot of big losers this week so we'll go in chart order so down nine places to 14 is "Shape of My Heart" by the Backstreet Boys.

 "Kids" by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue tripped over lego to slide eight places to 22.

Craig David's got more gaps as "Fill Me In" blanked out eleven places to 26. Nikki Webster & Sing 2001 Choir's song for Sydney Olympics "We'll Be One" fell from 26 to 33 this week.

"If You're Gone" by Matchbox Twenty fell from 27 to 34 this week...bit of a shame as I really like that song. The same goes for "Absolutely (Story of  a Girl)" by Nine Days which slipped eleven places to 49.

The rest of the falls are songs that have been hits fading away naturally like U2's "Beautiful Day" got clouded over six places to 18, "Everything You Need" by Madison Avenue fell eight places to 37, m Madonna's "Music' plunged from 24 to 38 as people finally realize the song is fucking awful.

Finally Ronan Keating's "Life is a Rollercoaster" fell eleven places to 45.

New Entries

So outside of "Who Let The Dogs Out" by the Baha Men debuting at number three, what else debuted? Well at number 12 is the new single from Human Nature called "He Don't Love You", a pretty brash, kind of catty number from Human Nature which is unusual for them.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has teamed up with 80s star Huey Lewis for a cover of the Smokey Robinson song "Cruisin'" which is in a 28...the cover is not good AT ALL.

Westlife's new single "My Love" sails in at number 36 while The Corrs are looking to follow up the success of "Breathless" with "Irresistible as it debuts at number 39
