Oh I don't have it planned out at all yet haha, much too early for that. I just worked those ones out as I was curious what the replacement song(s) would be. Still plenty of time for more unexpected chart developments to shake stuff up :lol:

York- On The Beach is a fantastic trance track that peaked at #4 in that era.

 

From the #2 i'd probably pick Movin Too Fast, Zombie Nation & Kylie although she does have a #1 from the same year.

Although I won't be around to enjoy them, my votes for #2s would go to Kernkraft 400, Re-Rewind and Reach (the 700th #2 and a rare 3-weeker), with Sandstorm as an honorary one that peaked at #3.

 

I've also compiled a few distilled thoughts on each of the #1s in the session.

Numbers start at 835 for Genie In A Bottle. I've added spoiler tags in case you don't want to see what's coming up (or just aren't interested :D )

 

[spoiler]
835: has held up decently. Wish I'd tracked down the Stroke Of Genie-ous mashup of this and The Strokes - Hard To Explain, instead we got the Speedway cover version.
836: nice enough in the right setting, I'll give them that.
837: easily their best song.
838: I remember Mark Goodier doing telephone interviews with Emma and Geri when he announced their respective chart positions (#2 and #1). Emma was lovely and congratulated Geri on her #1.
A few mintues later, when Mark asked Geri if she'd like to say anything to Emma in return, she said "I just want to thank everyone who supported me" - bless her.
839/1: not heard World Party's original but I'm sure that deserved some of Robbie's version's success. World Party's Ship Of Fools is class.
839/2: ehh, at least it mentions Stoke-on-Trent.
840: "free in my trassell" etc. Decent though I don't think the guy himself was at all keen on the remix.
841: well we can and will knock it, but this was a chart moment. Cliff's last #1 and also the last song to properly climb to #1 until 2004 (and what a song that one is too).
842/1: oh the joys *_* merry Christmas and happy Y2K all. One for the '#1 cover of a vastly superior #2 original' bingo.
842/2: so those key changes weren't Westlife inventions. In 2000 it was #1 in two weekly charts but missed the EOY top 100, the first song to do that in a year until 2020.
843: yesssss *.* great new #1 to start the millennium, rarely since Everything Must Go have they sounded so vital.
844: not that bad but not great either.
845: really good - this and Give Me A Little More Time are her best songs.
846: not the return to form we all craved, in fact I struggle to get through this one now - seems a bit painted by numbers.
847: everyone else seems to like this more than I do. It's alright I suppose.
848: *_* bingo time again, next.
849: Bryan Adams' little known 17th week at #1, only got there by about 1,300 sales. It's solid but Chicane did better before - Offshore is a tune.
850: no thanks :)
851: it's no When You're Gone but it's OK. RIP Left Eye :(
852: and the records kept tumbling *_* B*Witched didn't hold the 'most new entries at #1 from debut' for long. This was almost as close as the Alice Deejay week as well - NBTSA was ahead on the CDUK chart.
853: first ever week the Top 6 were all new entries. Decent but "you left all your money on the TV" hasn't aged well with technology :lol: (cue mention of iPods in Iyaz - Replay).
854: this one is a tune. Nice that it's on Spotify now, although the history of the Coco sample and lack of credit for her is a sore point.
855: wat is dis.
856: "iconic".
857: #30 first time around, the 29-place improvement flatters it.
858: ehh, but did this break some record Britney had just set for youngest to have 3 #1s, but still ehh.
859: this one really did deserve #1 after #24 first time around. It broke the US (top 10?) which hardly anyone else from the UK did at the time. The follow up Sky was decent too.
860: in the absence of much to say about the cover of a remix of a sample, I'd probably mention again about Barry White walking past me in a corridor at uni.
861: also "iconic".
862: iconic without quotation marks *.* The most important #1 of the year so far, hands down. Great chart run too.
863: love their two albums before and this song is nice enough but the Shania-lite production quickly got a bit much.
864: so after Gregg Alexander got fed up with playing You Get What You Give everywhere with the New Radicals, he set about rehashing it multiple times just to give Ronan some hits. Fortunately he gave Murder On The Dancefloor to Sophie and all was forgiven.
865: *_* John Deacon was wise to stay at home for this one.
866: well this was one of the more memorable songs to have "seven days" at #1 in 2000, or so it seemed at the time anyway.
867: never liked this, sorry not sorry. Anyone remember this being done on that Celebrity X Factor in 2006? 
868: it's still no When You're Gone but it's OK, I just thought it a bit too Madonna-lite at the time.
869: tune tune tune! *.* After it was announced as #2 on CDUK with True Steppers #1, I walked to my local HMV to buy a copy of this. The next day is up there with the most I've celebrated any #1, I even hit my head on the ceiling :lol:
870: speaking of Madonna *.* One of the few songs of the time R1 put straight to their A-list, even with weeks of pre-release airplay. Unpopular opinion but it's my favourite post-80s Madonna #1.
871: *_* bingo time again, can we just not. Not my favourite A-road either. Another excuse to mention Subwoolfer I suppose.
872: back to the tunes *.* and a welcome 2-weeker. Same formula as Stardust but I wasn't complaining. Something about the Afraid To Feel bassline reminds me of this.
873: *_* and back to the bingo. At least it wasn't Mariah's last #1. Westlife now level with the Spice Girls on 6 from 6, except theirs all entered at #1.
874: good one to end on, great production, in some ways I prefer this to Pure Shores.

Just looking at the line up today, there's very little that I would want to listen to and it will get worse over the coming weeks so I'm going to bow out here. I'll definitely be back for the number 1 albums.

Rollo - that’s totally understandable and I’m impressed you hung on until the millennium in fact! Thanks for being such a stalwart of the sessions and look forward to seeing you for the album ones.

 

Jim - thanks for the detailed comments! I’ll definitely go through them. You’ll be missed today of course.

Join us here from 4-7 as we turn the century and listen to Number Ones from late 1999 to late 2000!

Oops I'm a little late, but my top 3 for the number 2s would be (in order) Freestyler - All The Small Things - Flowers. But there's plenty there I'd happily listen to x

Not sure I’d have been able to get through 8 minutes of this but enjoyed listening to a bit of it! :lol:

 

The sound Madonna should have delivered :cheeseblock:

VICTORIA!!!!

Julien, had to leave in a hurry and missed the last part,

what #2s + surprise song did you play?

Played Re-Rewind, Kernkraft 400 and Freestyler.

Thanks for the Overload suggestion Bjork but I decided I really wanted to play The Bad Touch (and it’s a great video with monkey costumes too). :D

Here’s the #2s selection for this week! There are 3 that jump straight out for me but I don’t want to prejudice others’ thoughts.

 

707 Robbie Williams & Kylie Minogue – Kids 2000

708 Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out 2000

709 Martine McCutcheon - I'm Over You 2000

710 Daft Punk - One More Time 2000

711 Westlife - What Makes A Man 2000

 

712 Steps - It's The Way You Make Me Feel / Too Busy Thinking 'Bout My Baby 2001

713 Usher - Pop Ya Colla 2001

714 U2 - Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of 2001

715 Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag 2001

716 Outkast - Ms Jackson 2001

717 Ronan Keating - Lovin' Each Day 2001

718 Mis-Teeq - All I Want 2001

719 D12 - Purple Pills / Purple Hills 2001

720 Destiny's Child - Bootylicious 2001

721 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Take Me Home 2001

722 Supermen Lovers feat. Mani Hoffman - Starlight 2001

723 Steps - Chain Reaction / One For Sorrow 2001

724 Michael Jackson - You Rock My World 2001

725 IIO - Rapture 2001

726 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor 2001

727 Gordon Haskell - How Wonderful You Are 2001

For me:

Daft Punk - One More Time

Outkast - Ms Jackson

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor

 

('Rapture' and 'Starlight' are good dance tunes too)

 

agree, there is actually nothing else I'd consider

What Jade said. Actually I'd have chosen Teenage Dirtbag ahead of Murder On The Dancefloor but there's no way the latter won't be one of the three. I'd also nominate Castles In The Sky as a #3.

Interesting - my 3 would actually have been One More Time, Teenage Dirtbag and Murder On The Damcefloor but we seem to be congregating on 4 anyway!

I'd happy with Jade's three, Starlight or Teenage Dirtbag as well if there's fourth one.

 

Ofc. I'm just assuming we all know that Who Let the Dogs Out is too iconic to merely warrant a single play and is a class of its own B-)

 

Sorry Chez - dogs must be kept firmly on a leash in my sessions!

I would go with 'One More Time', 'Ms. Jackson' and 'Starlight' so not much deviation from the consensus from me either.

 

Apart from to give an absolute no to 'Teenage Dirtbag', I will leave early if you play that xx
