I'd describe this week as deceptive especially if you just looked at the static top five where nothing changed at all but we got chaos lower down the charts with songs hoping to be hits in 2001 starting to arrive on the charts as others try desperately to land a place on the ARIA year end list for 2000..yeah we got a whole bunch of new entries along with two new arrivals from lower down the chart in the top ten.
So to the aforementioned top ten where as I said the top 5 didn't change with Baha Men spending another week at number one with "Who Let The Dogs Out" however right behind it is "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus which may still have a chance at snatching the Christmas number one as it remained stuck at number two this week, "Friends Forever (Graduation)" by Vitamin C continues to keep grip on number three while Human Nature cling to number four with "He Don't Love You" as the Charlie's Angel's hype keeps "Independent Women Part 1' by Destiny's Child stays at number five.
The big new entry to the top ten is "Crusin'" by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis which rose eight places to number six this week...I am not overly impressed by this...the song isn't good.
Remaining steady at number seven is "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" by Spiller while the big move by "Cruisin'" caused "Don't You Worry" by Madasun to slide down two places to number eight.
Returning to the top ten is Madonna's "Don't Tell Me" which rose eight places to number nine despite being junk...Madonna really chose this year to be absolutely awful.
Finally in slight better news "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" by Modjo up one place to number ten.
Gains
Christina Aguilera may just have another hit on her hands with "Come On Over (All I Want is You)" jumping from 30 to 19.
"Kids" by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue rose six places to 20, Debelah Morgan's "Dance With You" continues to climb, this week up ten places to 29....I don't really care for the song but don't hate it either.
Losers
The only major loser this week is "Black Coffee" by All Saints which finally had it's resistance broken as it fell sixteen places to 36.
New Entries
The biggest new entry is the follow up single from Vitamin C called "The Itch" in at 27. I actually like this song more than "Friends Forever (Graduation)", there's a pop groove that just works for me.
American rapper Nelly lodges at number 38 with "(Hot S***) Country Grammar". UK singer Sonique climbs in at number 44 with "Sky" while Aussie metal act Superheist are in at 45 with "Crank the System".
Now the big one for me here is American rock band 3 Doors Down debut "Kryptonite' at number 47 which I am pretty happy about...would love to see it become a sustainable hit in 2001.
Finally Invertigo return to the chart with "Chances Are..." at number 50.
So that wraps up this week, two more weeks before the end of the 2000 chart year, On the 29th December, my top ten worst hit songs list. My top ten best hit songs list is released on New Years Eve (yeah the last episode of 2000 Sound will be a little early that week).
Next year this blog will wind all the way back to 1992 and the year of saccharine love ballads and Billy Ray Cyrus...sounds like fun!
