Hi all, I'm new to Buzzjack so please be nice. I've decided to review every number one of the year 2000 as I'm a keen reviewer and I love music. I have chosen the year 2000 because:

 

a. it was the first year I really got into music, not the charts as such but it was when I began buying CD Singles and there's a lot of songs that will bring back a sense of nostalgia for me

b. 2000 has 42 number ones and as I plan to review the #1's of most years I thought it would be best to get through this one quickly

 

Feel free to leave your thoughts on #1's as I go on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manic Street Preachers - The Masses Against the Classes - 22/01/2000 - 1 week @ #1

 

 

 

I was born in October 1992 making me 7 years old when the millenium began so needless to say the Manic's weren't really my thing at the time but I recall my stepdad Gregg adoring this. In 2012 however, I genuinally like this song but it isn't something I would chose to listen to from choice as is the rest of the output released by the Manic Street Preachers to be totally honest. Like I said, I like it now but I'm not really sure that it's number one material but I suppose it was January and that is when the music industry is coming out of the lucrative Christmas season so fair play to the Preachers - no one else is going to be able to say they were the first #1 of the new millenium and to be honest there's a lot worse that could have started off the decade, centuary and millenium at #1

Britney Spears - Born To Make You Happy - 29/01/2000 - 1 week @ #1

 

 

 

Unlike the Manic's at the time I was VERY into Britney (She was my first ever crush after all) and I absoloutely adored this song and happily spent my some of my spending money on the CD single the week it came out making it the 3rd single I ever bought and I still have it somewhere in our attic no doubt. Now at 19, I'm not as in love with it as I was aged 7 obviously but Britney and ballads have always been a bit hit and miss in my view (My favourite songs of hers are the more uptempo 'Overprotected' and 'You Drive Me Crazy') but this is far from 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' standards. Would I choose to listen to it now? Probobaly not but it's a nice trip down memory lane and deffinately my favourite Brit ballad
