Yes it was mentioned that other performances would feature on a late night showing. I watched live last night so I guess the other version is on iplayer?

Yes they've uploaded the alternative late version on TOTP on iPlayer for some reason! The Gately performance is in my post if you want to see it!

On The Beach was the only single I bought on the first week shown. I absolutely love York's version of that (after already loving The Awakening the previous autumn). Nice to see Chris Rea show up with them too.

Shackles is brilliant too, such a classic, a rare example of a gospel song being played a lot on UK radio, and I guess one of the biggest religious themed hits of this century.

New Beginning is... fine. It was expected to go to No.1 but it's no great shame for me that it didn't, and I liked the fact that Sonique and S Club 7 held the top two down for three weeks because both were so strong compared to some of the competition. Forgot About Dre is really good, quite a tongue twister chorus from Eminem. And cool to see P!nk finally debuting, back in the early pink hair, R&B days. She had the hallmarks of a one album wonder so good on her for becoming a lot more than that.

Hands Up is one of those naggingly catchy songs, it sounds like Vengaboys' Up & Down, and maybe a tiny bit dated for 2000? I did think it was going to get top 10 though at the time. A fair few flops this week really with Mikey Graham missing top 10, Buffalo G (one was the sister of Shane, Edele and Keavy Lynch), and a big flop for Aqua's Around The World.

In the second week I bought and still absolutely love It's My Turn by Angelic, so many brilliant trance songs around at this time, shame it just missed the top 10.

Richard Blackwood was cheesy, I laughed at the way 'MTV' was censored to 'TV' for BBC play. The Travis song is ok, it never did appear on an album did it? And then the eventual album was released in mid-2001 in the end, I wonder why they changed their mind with this single being a lead. The video was fun though.

I absolutely love Girls Like Us, another week, another garage classic <3 When A Woman is good fun too, a change of pace after Sunshine and Rise, Gabrielle was on great form in 2000.

Ha at Michael Barrymore being part of that Jerusalem performance, I'd forgotten that went top ten.

If I Told You That was a bit limp for a duet from Whitney and George, but then it was a two-year-old album track he added vocals too. It definitely was expected to do better though, I was shocked it only got to No.9, Woolies' chart had it at No.1 for sure.

UGLY from Daphne & Celeste is catchy but the lyrics are actually pretty horrible. I know it's tongue in cheek but I remember kids at my school used to sing it to bully others.

Nice to see Unintended by Muse, one of their best early singles. Also way down at No.62 this week was the debut flop from Lucie Silvas, It's Too Late, before she went off and had a four-year rethink! And You're A Superstar from Love Inc at No.91, which needed another two and a half years to get a re-release and become a hit.

Been out for the last couple of weekends so just done a bumper catchup on last week's reruns and this one's tonight - so I'll do a bumper rundown of my thoughts in kind...

26/05/2000 - Lonestar getting featured again, although it was two weeks after this chart they finally got their peak of #21 as I believe that was when Woolworths decided to stock "Amazed" for the first time since its release. Almost unheard of back then, but proves what a slow burner it was.

Bit of a weak second single for DJ Luck and MC Neat, not a patch on "A Little Bit of Luck". Such a banger of a number one for Billie Piper, still love "Day & Night" now.

02/06/2000 - great song from Bon Jovi, big comeback for them. And proof that Max Martin could also work his magic on other artists besides Britney, BSBs etc.

Sia - "Taken For Granted". I had genuinely forgotten that was her first single, but what a cracking song it is still, I love the Prokofiev sample on it as well!

S Club 7 - "Reach". I will be completely honest - its mass saturation beyond their fanbase thanks to a certain TV show that follows a year later and wedding / birthday disco ubiquity means that it is not my go-to song of theirs as a hardcore fan of theirs. But equally. Cannot deny it is a great song independent of that. And would have been another massive number one (in fact many people mistakenly thought it was) but for...

Sonique. Peed off as I was at the time that S Club had missed out on number one, equally cannot deny that "It Feels So Good" was a great song too and very deserving of number one, especially so as it was the third that year after Fragma / Madison Avenue to do better second time out where dance music was concerned.

09/06/2000 - Stephen Gately, "New Beginning". Always thought he had the better solo material over Ronan Keating out of Boyzone. Just a shame that didn't continue beyond this single in terms of chart success. I dare say were he still with us today he'd have done more solo music and been living his best life at Mighty Hoopla on the main stage. RIP.

Also loved Mary Mary ("Shackles", what a song) on this episode.

16/06/2000 - quite the mixture on this one, loved Kelis' second single. I remember my eldest sister getting the Kaleidoscope album and playing it on repeat the duration of a family holiday to Dorset we went on about this time!

"When A Woman" one of my favourites from Gabrielle, also loved B15 Project. A UK Garage song that screams summer 2000 for me!

Also unashamedly loved a bit of Richard Blackwood as well!

York's version of 'On The Beach' is just a great anthem with the euphoric vocal.
