The final episode of 2000 Sound and on reflection, I am kind of sad...mostly because there's a lot about 2000 that was so much fun...sure the music was mixed but hey it was still decent if that and we've got a pretty busy week especially in the top ten where Wheatus maintained their grip on number one with "Teenage Dirtbag"
It thankfully held on ahead of "Cruisin'"by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis which went up one place to number two and is somehow looking a threat to take number one in the new year as a sudden 22 place collapse by "Who Let the Dogs Out" by the Baha Men.
Also rising one place to number three is "Independent Women Part 1" by Destiny's Child while Vitamin C's "Friends Forever (Graduation)" also regained one place to number four.
The biggest move of the week came for the comedy single by The 12th Man called "Bruce 2000 - A "Special" Tribute" which climbed from 32 to number 5. Didn't realize there was still a hunger for comedy songs out there!
Human Nature remain steady at number six with "He Don't Love You" while The Offspring continue to make inroads into the top ten up three places to number seven with "Original Prankster" and "The Itch" by Vitamin C remained at number eight.
Also remaining steady is '7 Days" by Craig David at number nine while "Groovejet (If this ain't Love)" by Spiller returned to the top ten up one place to number ten.
Gains
I already mentioned the massive gain for The 12th Man's tribute to Bruce McAvaney gaining big to hit the top ten at number five but what gained big? Well, Powderfinger's 'My Happiness" jumped eleven places to number 26 while "Not That Kind" by Anastacia also got a nine place boost to 27.
"I Want Candy" by Aaron Candy insists on being a thing as it rose ten spots to 31.
Breaking into the top twenty is "Kids" by Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams rising from 22 to 17 and Vanessa Amorosi's "The Power/Everytime I Close My Eyes" cllimbed five places to 13 as it look like its going to be big in 2001.
Re Entries
Back on the chart this week for some reason is "Girls On Top" by Girl Thing at 44 while Eminem also returns with "The Way I Am" at 48.
Losses
The big story was within the top ten with Baha Men slumping from number two down to 24! Probably a sign that the song was at best a novelty song while speaking of the top ten, Madonna was also cast adrift with "Don't Tell Me" falling five places to number 12.
"Please Stay" by Kylie Minogue fell to 37 off the debut last week while her former number one hit "On a Night Like This" stumbled nine places to 49.
"The Way You Make Feel" by Ronan Keating slipped from 27 to 39.
Former number one "Most Girls" by :Pink plunged eleven places to 40 (more on Pink in a moment), "Irresistible" by The Corrs continued to lose traction down from 35 to 42
New Entries
Just the one new entry courtesy of Pink at number 41 with her latest single "You Make Me Sick".
That wraps up 2000 Sound. Stay tuned for Worst and Best lists for 2000 this week. On 11th January, we begin "Good 1992 Vibrations" going through the year of charting pop music. The latest ARIA chart update went up yesterday if you want to check that out.
