Posted June 5Jun 5 TOTP moves into 2000, this thread designed to "best guess" the sales week by week for the year. We'll count down all the sounds of the year and hopefully generate a few "almost forgotten gems" along the way. As always thanks go to Youtube, Wikipedia, MW, popscene, James Masterton, Discogs, and a few other sources who have helped over the years. Here's the links to to the 80s/ 90s threads if this isn't your year!https://www.buzzjack.com/forums/topic/270540-gezzas-yearly-sales-threads/#comment-7539423In doing this I've tried to take into account TOTP performances and other factors which may have effected sales and chart positions throughout the decade.The format will be the same every week with TOTP performances where available for those songs new to the top 10. So sit back and enjoy every top 10 hit of the first half of the 00s (eventually) because things would never be the same again.
June 5Jun 5 Author TOTP repeats on BBC4 should commence in late June/Early July so just getting ready!
June 5Jun 5 Author Let's just hope no scandal hits Jamie Theakston or we won't be getting many episodes!
June 5Jun 5 I’m really looking forward to following along with this. I’ve loved the ones from the late 90’s.
2 hours ago2 hr Just got round to starting the 2000 reruns last night. Saving the other two episodes that were on this Friday just gone for next Friday in lieu of the fact there's none on next week because of the cricket!I had genuinely forgotten how slow January 2000 was, literally the music industry just took one extended holiday after the millennium / Y2K rush and panic, hence "Re-Rewind" and "Steal My Sunshine" hanging around for ages, ditto the S Club 7, Steps and Vengaboys singles.Nice to see Pet Shop Boys get another top 10 even if it was just by dint of doing so on a quiet week with low sales, very wistful sounding electropop that only they know how to deliver.DJ Luck and MC Neat though, what a tune that was. I alluded to it on the 1999 sales thread but I was a big UK Garage head so I'm looking forward to hearing all the old classics again from this year as we get to them week by week. Holla with da rinsin sound etc 😆🎵🎧As mentioned above there's no reruns on this Friday but on BBC Two next Saturday evening there is Top of the Pops: Biggest Hits 2000 at 8:50pm, followed by Top of the Pops: The Story of 2000 at 9:50pm.
