December 11, 201113 yr Will comment as I recall listening to this chart; 01. Bob The Builder - Can We Fix It 02. Westlife - What Makes A Man This is actually one of their more tolerable songs imo, and thankfully not another cover, but I was still pleased to see them finally not debut at #1, so kudos to Bob The Builder :D 03. Eminem - Stan 04. S Club 7 - Never Had A Dream Come True 05. Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out 06. Oxide And Neutrino - No Good 4 Me ft Megaman Adore this, pretty much the only garage song I liked at the time, probably because I was familiar with the original... 07. Leann Rimes - Can't Fight The Moonlight 08. Tweenies - Number 1 This was such a long runner for 2000 - 8 weeks in the top ten wasn't it, with a #5 peak! It was catchy though, they actually managed quite a few hits! 09. Destiny's Child - Independent Women Part 1 10. Robbie Williams - Supreme 11. Public Domain - Operation Blade (Bass In The Place) - Same melody as the Warp Brothers song lower down, a bit like the Flo Rida/Avicii situation now! 12. Sugababes - New Year 13. Wyclef - 911 ft Mary J Blige 14. Britney Spears - Stronger 15. Craig David - Walking Away 16. Madonna - Don't Tell Me 17. Da Muttz - Wassuup UURGHHH - Forgot how annoying this phrase was at the time, it was everywhere... 18. Kylie Minogue - Please Stay 19. Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit 20. Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight {2000 Re-Release} 21. Craig - At This Time Of Year It was laughable of him to think that he could be a recording artist (even though it was for a good cause), although the Danish ESC entry from this year (A Friend In London - New Tomorrow) sort of reminded me of it melodically :lol: 22. Wombles With Roy Wood - I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Christmas - Was a bit disjointed in places but not an absolute mess surprisingly 23. Ronan Keating - The Way You Make Me Feel 24. Sisqo - Incomplete 25. Sonique - I Put A Spell On You {2000} 26. Whitney Houston - Heartbreak Hotel ft Faith Evans And Kelly Price 27. Westlife - My Love 28. Ricky Martin - She Bangs 29. Daft Punk - One More Time 30. Bomfunk MC's - Up Rocking Beats 31. Warp Brothers Vs Aquagen - Phat Bass 32. Jay-Z - I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) 33. Artful Dodger - Please Don't Turn Me On ft Lifford 34. Bon Jovi - Thank You For Loving Me 35. Darude - Feel The Beat 36. Kandi - Don't Think I'm Not 37. Billie Piper - Walk Of Life 38. A1 - Same Old Brand New You 39. Storm - Storm Animal The follow up to Time To Burn? I can't recall this at all :o 40. Green Day - Warning
December 11, 201113 yr I've got a small handful of sales: (1) Bob The Builder: 359,639 (2) Westlife: 231,000 (5) Baha Men: 87,000
December 11, 201113 yr No Good 4 Me? Is that the sample/cover I think it is? :D Edited December 11, 201113 yr by Bré
December 11, 201113 yr I used to really love that Bob The Builder song, it is terrible but a great novelty song that doesn't take itself seriously at least like the Westlife song at #2 :puke: (I haven't even heard it but I already know it's boring and crap lol)
December 11, 201113 yr No Good 4 Me? Is that the sample/cover I think it is? :D Naturally. It's nowhere near as bad as you'd expect it to be (imo), I was addicted to it at the time, very slick garage/pop crossover production and a decent interpolation of No Good (Start The Dance).
December 11, 201113 yr Naturally. It's nowhere near as bad as you'd expect it to be (imo), I was addicted to it at the time, very slick garage/pop crossover production and a decent interpolation of No Good (Start The Dance). Bad? I wuldn't expect anything to do with The Prodigy to be bad :D I only discovered this song from Plan B's debut album a few months ago. It's Plan B sampling The Prodigy (same song). Basically Bré heaven. XrnVBxeqV50 And Chase & Status did a remix of it (which I only found out about just now when searching for that).
December 11, 201113 yr 01. Bob The Builder - Can We Fix It :unsure: May have bought this. I was only 8 so it's forgiveable 02. Westlife - What Makes A Man 03. Eminem - Stan :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: Have come to love this in recent years. The video used to scare the crap outta me though 04.

December 11, 201113 yr 01. Bob The Builder - Can We Fix It - :cheer: Bob will always bring back fond memories of my childhood, and him beating Westlife is pretty hilarious, I wasn't actually around at the time, but I imagine it would be the equivalent laugh of the XF winner being beaten these days! 02. Westlife - What Makes A Man 03. Eminem - Stan - still one of the best of that year, incredible :wub: 04. S Club 7 - Never Had A Dream Come True - :blush: its...christmassy 05. Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out :D 06. Oxide And Neutrino - No Good 4 Me ft Megaman 07. Leann Rimes - Can't Fight The Moonlight :wub: 08. Tweenies - Number 1 09.

Wombles With Roy Wood - I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Christmas - Good Lord :lol: 23. Ronan Keating - The Way You Make Me Feel 24. Sisqo - Incomplete 25. Sonique - I Put A Spell On You {2000} 26. Whitney Houston - Heartbreak Hotel ft Faith Evans And Kelly Price 27. Westlife - My Love 28. Ricky Martin - She Bangs 29. Daft Punk - One More Time :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: don't really care or know anything beyond this point so won't waste space, a pretty notable Christmas chart nonetheless :D Edited December 11, 201113 yr by C.W
December 11, 201113 yr Some random spiel from me again (though like the 1999 one, nobody will read this but I like doing it anyway :D): 03. Eminem - Stan - Brilliant at the time, don't really listen to it much anymore but still enjoy it when I do. I guess it's not the type of song you should play that much anyway. 04. S Club 7 - Never Had A Dream Come True - Quite dull again though I liked it at the time - they finally managed to nail a decent Christmas/winter ballad the following year, thankfully. 05. Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out - I didn't hate it... and I loved it during the summer before it got a bit too overexposed 06. Oxide And Neutrino - No Good 4 Me ft Megaman - Loved it back then (in fact, it was probably my favourite in the chart on this very week) but take away the sample and it's pretty crap. I didn't even know the Prodigy song at the time and it was pretty easy to be fooled by these things before I started using the internet. 09. Destiny's Child - Independent Women Part 1 - Obsessed with this at the time, still like it a lot now but I don't hear it/play it as much as I should. They quickly went to pot after this though. Great BRITs award performance of this the following year too (I actually only watched the entire 2001 show, which is on YouTube in full if anyone cares, last week so that's fresh in my mind right now :D) 12. Sugababes - New Year - Very good, should get far more airplay at this time of year than it does. I'm proud to say I was a fan of the Sugababes from the very start (bought Overload the week it came out!), largely because of my love of any random girlband who came along back then - and god knows there was a lot of them!! 13. Wyclef - 911 ft Mary J Blige - Amazing raw R&B ballad with spades of soul. It's fair to say Wyclef didn't quite hit the spot most of the time post-Fugees - and the fact before this incredible song he was doing an awful duet with The Rock sums him up perfectly :drama: 14. Britney Spears - Stronger - Had already been loving this for 6 months by the time it came out! Still her best song and she knocks it out of the park vocally for a change - great production too, if a little dated these days *sounds foghorn* 15. Craig David - Walking Away - Very good song, probably my favourite of his actually. 19. Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit - Brilliant! Hard to believe this is their ONLY top 40 single given what an influental rap group they are, and the fact they even had a #1 album in 1997 (even if it is one of the lowest-selling ever surely). Anyway, fantastic song, I do recall this was all over the music channels at the time - did Radio 1 playlist it? "As we go... Back, back and forth & forth..." 20. Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight {2000 Re-Release} - One of the worst songs ever made. Hadn't that advert already started by this point? :( 22. Wombles With Roy Wood - I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Christmas - Awful - as gooddelta says the songs just did not go together at all... 24. Sisqo - Incomplete - A US #1 I believe - of course Thong Song was the big hit here but America loved random R&B ballads back then. This was okay but nothing special, I never liked Sisqo's voice much to enjoy him as a solo act - he was better as a member of Dru Hill really. 26. Whitney Houston - Heartbreak Hotel ft Faith Evans And Kelly Price - Brilliantly slick R&B song that flows effortlessly thanks to three gorgeous voices and a perfect melody. Thankfully I do not remember the remix that was apparently played on radio at the time so I can retain my memory of the flawless album version... 29. Daft Punk - One More Time - Far too overplayed that it loses any joy it once had, I'm afraid. But still I was a big fan of it at one point. 33. Artful Dodger - Please Don't Turn Me On ft Lifford - Very good again. Artful Dodger were always the best garage act for me so not surprising they arguably had the most success (at least in terms of pulling off consistent hits). 36. Kandi - Don't Think I'm Not - Great song again. She had already written the trio of man-hating anthems No Scrubs, Bills Bills Bills and There You Go in 1999/2000 so it was only fitting she got her own hit with a similar theme! Shame she was a one-hit wonder, don't know why she never released a follow-up here (or at least I don't remember one being pushed)... 37. Billie Piper - Walk Of Life - Hated that this flopped. Gorgeous guitar-driven song and I've always loved listening to Billie's voice. This was of course her last single and she retired from music and went back to acting a few months after this having been through the brunt of the music industry... 38. A1 - Same Old Brand New You - Another one I loved at the time! Bit of an 'N Sync rip-off in places (along with the follow-up, No More, which was surely even more so) but at least it has an interesting structure compared to other pop songs of the time.

December 11, 201113 yr Author Dont worry i always read the posts lol...i especially agree with the views on Sugababes, you only ever see it on the music channels on occassion!
December 11, 201113 yr I can't even remember the last time I heard it outside of my own listening pleasure. Apart from Overload their early Siobhan hits in general have been FAR too forgotten - New Year and Soul Sound weren't even included on the Greatest Hits set they released in 2006 if I recall correctly :rolleyes: Idiots. Just counted by the way and I bought 18/40 of this chart at the time, including every song in the top 10 except Westlife and Robbie Williams. I was far more into buying singles by this point in 2000 compared to 1999 with my weekly £5 pocket money :whistle:
December 11, 201113 yr "Stan" would have been a superb Christmas #1, but it got there the previous week on 199k and moved back up to #2 the week after so I'm not too fussed.

I guess I bought one or two singles a week on average usually but a lot of them never made the top 40 :(
December 11, 201113 yr Author i was starting to get interested in the charts at the time - the first single i brought was Love Inc - Superstar!
December 12, 201113 yr 22. Wombles With Roy Wood - I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Christmas One of the worst ideas in history - it really, really, really does not work - you might as well try to mix the national anthem with the Birdie Song. Although... 20. Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight {2000 Re-Release} Surely this is the worst idea in history - an insipid cover version that had already annoyed us all in the spring got re-released again to piss us off at Christmas time. Gee, thanks.
December 12, 201113 yr My comments from the peanut gallery: 01. Bob The Builder - Can we fix it? In Portuguese version: "Eu sou o Bob, o construtor!" 02. Westlife - What Makes A Man Actually it's a bit of shame that it was with this one that they broke the n.º 1 chain, as this is one of their best and a more deserving n.º 1 than most of their ventures (nevermind the bland covers, even some originals like "Fool again") 05. Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out I could never stand this. Their 2002 unsuccesful follow-up attempt "Move it like this" was far more tolerable. 08. Tweenies - Number 1 We had to wait 9 more years for a song title "Number 1" reach number 1. 10. Robbie Williams - Supreme One of my Robbie faves, with a great video and that "I will survive" riff. 12. Sugababes - New Year The largely ignored Sugababes festive offering. What was won in sexiness by replacing Siobhan with Heidi, was lost in substance. 13. Wyclef - 911 ft Mary J Blige I remember that in TOTP, Wyclef performed it as "999", with his sister taking MJB's place. 14. Britney Spears - Stronger Her least remembered single from that era 17. Da Muttz - Wassuup Another one better best forgotten 19. Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit This floated around for ages but I never cared for it. 20. Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight {2000 Re-Release} Still listen to this 21. Craig - At This Time Of Year Still better than the single released at that time by a ex-contestant from Big Brother Portugal 23. Ronan Keating - The Way You Make Me Feel One of the few of his songs that I can enjoy 26. Whitney Houston - Heartbreak Hotel ft Faith Evans And Kelly Price A bit of the shame that this diva triplex got losted among the Christmas rush 36. Kandi - Don't Think I'm Not Didn't she co-write "No scrubs"? What a shame that Tamia's "Stranger in my house" wasn't as succesful as this. 37. Billie Piper - Walk Of Life Her downfall 38. A1 - Same Old Brand New You 2000 was the year when anything could go to number 1, including this pile of crap.
December 12, 201113 yr Even Tweenies and Bob The Builder? :o From this chart on single I bought Oxide & Neutrino, Kylie, Darude and Daft Punk. I guess I bought one or two singles a week on average usually but a lot of them never made the top 40 :( Yep, including the Tweenies and Bob The Builder. I was still young enough to enjoy that kind of 'kiddy pop' back then, though I guess those were my last purchases of that kind that I remember. Looking back, my music taste was quite bizarre at this point in general considering I bought The Tweenies and Bob The Builder, and then also bought something like Wu-Tang Clan. I guess I liked anything that had a catchy enough hook in it. Hmm, it was very rare I bought a single that missed the top 40 at this point for two main reasons: 1) I was very much into pop music, which with a few exceptions, never usually flopped that badly; and 2) I used to buy my singles at the local ASDA store and they only ever stocked the main singles that were out. To get some of the lesser known stuff, I would have had to hop on a bus to town and go to HMV or something which I didn't particularly want to do at that age. Judging by your list there you were a big fan of dance music - looks like we were in different musical worlds at that time :P 14. Britney Spears - Stronger Her least remembered single from that era Less remembered than Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know? The follow-up to Who Let The Dogs Out?, by the way, was actually called You All Dat.
