This week was a surprisingly busy one as the chart winds down for Christmas/New Year holiday, plenty of movement in the top ten and a slew of new entries so let's get right into it where we have a song that I predicted would return to number one and that is what happened with "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus riding a sales boost to return to the top of the charts for another week.
It meant that "Who Let The Dogs Out" by the Baha Men got pushed back to number two as it's sales are finally starting to fade which means it's coming under pressure from..."Cruisin'" by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis which rose three places to number three...geez...the song is lame as hell...there's nothing all that good about it, Australia!.
"Independent Women Part 1" by Destiny's Child continues to be a thing as it rose one place to number four.
All of that was enough to push past the first of two Vitamin C songs in the top ten this week with "Friends Forever (Graduation)" falling two places to number five and "He Don't Love You" by Humaan Nature likewise to number six (I am still on the fence about "He Don't Love You"...its cattier than I would like from a group like Human Nature).
Rising two places to number seven is "Don't Tell Me" by Madonna because we need that horror hanging around like a bad smell...
The biggest gain of the week belongs to the second of the Vitamin C songs in the top ten with "The Itch" rising all the way from 27 to number eight....as I said before, this song is better than "Friends Forever (Graduation)" so I am happy to see this here,
"7 Days" by Craig David surged from 15 to break into the top ten at number nine. This song is fine enough. Finally, The Offspring have another top ten hitwith"Original Prankster" rising four places to the top ten at number ten...that song's video is HILARIOUS,
Gains
I already talked about "The Itch" by Vitamin C jumping from 27 to into the top ten at number eight so let's see what else had big gains....Ronan Keating's "The Way You Make Me Feel" jumped from 43 to 27 this week..eh...that song is so bland, I am surprised people remember it exists.
"Dance With Me" by Debelah Morgan is a case of continued momentum as it rose ten places to 19. I just don't get the appeal of that song. Sorry.
Limp Bizkit continues to be a pain in the neck as "My Generation" climbed from 42 to 31. Seriously? There's better rock music out there than Limp fucking Bizkit.
Re Entries
Two returns this week and neither make sense to me with "My Love" by Westlife back at number 45 and "We'll Be One" by Nikki Webster and Sing 2001 Choir back at number 50.
Losers
Couple of big losers this week, we'll start with Green Day's "Minority" which plunged nine places to 42 while "Black Coffee" by All Saints slide from 36 to 43 while Powderfinger lose some happiness with "My Happiness" slipped from 32 to 37.
Anastacia's "Not That Kind" collapsed eleven places to 36 while "Irresistible" by The Corrs didn't live up to its title by slipping from 28 to 35 and "I Turn to You" by Melanie C got turned away by the public as it fell from 26 to 33.
Pink's "Most Girls" continues to go on its way out gracefully as it slipped six places to 29 while "Shape of My Heart' by the Backstreet Boys and "Gotta Tell You" by Samantha Mumba both fell nine places to 25 and 24 respectively.
Madsun were the biggest victims of the frantic shuffling of the top ten as "Don't You Worry" took a nine place hit to 17.
New Entries
The new entries are all Australian this week with the highest debut going to Kylie Minogue's "Please Stay" in at number 15, it's the latest single from Kylie's "Light Years" album.
Vanessa Amorosi is back with "The Power/Every Time I Close My Eyes" at number 18. I like "The Power" a lot.
Finally Billy Birmingham aka The 12th Man is impersonating Channel Seven's Bruce McAvaney for "Bruce 2000 - A "Special" Tribute" at number 32.
