November 19, 200717 yr Author WOW! That's wonderful! I'm really happy that someone loves MTV European Top 20 just as much as I do! And, furthermore - another Bulgarian! I had no idea that a Bulgarian radio station broadcast the chart during the 90's - which was that radio station? I started watching the chart on TV much later than you - in April 2000, but, just like you, I fell in love with it! Still, you're very lucky that you were able to listen to it and after that watch it during the 90's - back then it was absolutely amazing! Thank you very much for your all time charts! I knew them but I'm sure other people will find it interesting to look at them! And yes, it will be very interesting for me to check out your database! Because there are some editions of European Top 20 during the years where I find some positions/phenomena strange and I'd like to see whether you have the same things in your archive!
November 19, 200717 yr Author Here is the chart of November 10, 2007: 20 Enrique Iglesias - Tired Of Being Sorry 3 Down 19 Britney Spears - Gimme More 1 Up 18 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You NEW 17 Backstreet Boys - Inconsolable 1 Up 16 Rihanna - Shut Up And Drive 9 Down 15 Nicole Scherzinger - Whatever U Like RE-ENTRY 14 Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah 3 Down 13 Linkin Park - Bleed It Out 9 Down 12 Timbaland & Keri Hilson - The Way I Are Stay => 11 Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love 3 Up 10 Gwen Stefani - Now That You Got It 6 Up 9 Nelly Furtado - Do It 4 Up 8 Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls Stay => 7 Jennifer Lopez - Do It Well 2 Up 6 Alicia Keys - No One 4 Up 5 Kanye West - Stronger 3 Down 4 James Blunt - 1973 2 Up 3 Sugababes - About You Now 2 Up 2 Foo Fighters - The Pretender 1 Up 1 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake - Ayo Technology Stay => This week the chart is really strange... What I feared has happened - "Don't Stop The Music" by Rihanna has left the chart and is replaced by her duet with Ne-Yo "Hate That I Love You", which debuts at number 18. I guess the problem is that she has released two different singles in different countries... But still, "Don't Stop The Music" spent only 3 weeks in the chart and peaked at number 12 - it definitely deserves more than that! At least it should have remained in the chart this week so that Rihanna would be the first one to have 3 singles in the chart simultaneously! Because "Shut Up And Drive" is still here, even though it falls 9 places to number 16. And this is actually something UNIQUE. Sometimes an artist's older single has still been in the chart when the new single entered. But NEVER has an artist's single still been in the chart when the NEXT TO THE FOLLOWING SINGLE entered!!! The situation with Nicole Scherzinger is just as confusing. "Whatever U Like" spent 3 weeks in the chart and was then replaced by "Baby Love". Now "Baby Love" spends its third week in the chart... and "Whatever U Like" re-enters at number 15!!! This is the first re-entry in the chart since "D.A.N.C.E." by Justice reappeared in European Top 20 two months ago. It's actually the sixth time this year that a song re-enters the chart. That's something which I would never have dreamed of until a year ago - I started watching the chart in 2000... and between 1999 and 2006 there weren't ANY re-entries in the chart - a 7-year gap! In fact, it came to an end just a little over a year ago - when "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire re-entered on November 4, 2006. Just like "Shut Up And Drive", there is another 9-place faller - "Bleed It Out" by Linkin Park. At least it managed to reach number 3 and thus became their second highest-peaking single after the chart-topper "What I've Done". Before that no less than 3 of their singles had stopped at number 4 - "In The End", "Somewhere I Belong" and "Numb/Encore". The most surprising movement of the week is the reclimb of "Do It" by Nelly Furtado. Last week it fell from number 10 to number 13... but now it goes back up to number 9, reaching a new peak position! However, it's still the lowest peaking of Nelly's songs that have been in the chart. "Ayo Technology" by 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake stays for a fourth week at number 1. The new contender (or maybe pretender?) for the top turns out to be Foo Fighters. Two years ago they peaked at number 2 with "Best Of You"... and now they repeat that achievement with "The Pretender".
November 20, 200717 yr for bobiloko-you can send me your e-mail in a message here,or direct to my e-mail:tsetsi81@abv.bg. the radio station was radio 'tangra'-sofia,but unfortunately it doesn't exist anymore! :( i can remember even stranger re-entry:in 1998 chart #44 Madonna enters the chart @ no.18 with "the power of goodbye",but @ no.9-she has a re-entry with "drowned world/substitute for love"-3 weeks after the song went out of the chart!the song was relegated next week???it was very strange-maybe it was a mistake,but who knows???in the history of ET 20 we have only one song that has made a re-re-entry:in 1995 "them girls,them girls" by Zig & Zag had the following chart history from chart no.2:20-18-19-out-20-19-20-out-out-10-13.that is all for now! :yahoo:
November 20, 200717 yr Sugababes are doing well- good to see. Nelly is doing very well with a single that isn't even in the top 75 in the UK- what are the chart positions for it around the rest of Europe?
November 20, 200717 yr Author tsetsi81 - oh, yes, I remember that I heard years ago that Radio Tangra had stopped and there were many unhappy listeners... But I had no idea that they broadcast the chart on the radio! By the way, I forgot to ask you: which newspaper published the chart during the 90's? I seem to remember that in 2000 "24 Chasa" published it for several weeks... They might have published it before that but back then I didn't know about the chart so I haven't noticed... About "Drowned World" - yes, that was actually one of the confusing phenomena I talked about... I found it really strange that it would re-enter the chart in the week when Madonna's next single "The Power Of Goodbye" debuted! But, since you have watched it and confirm that it was so, I'll accept that! It must have been a real surprise to see that! By the way, apart from "Them Girls, Them Girls" by Zig & Zag, there was another re-re-entry (as you call it) in the history of European Top 20! In 1999, "When You Say Nothing At All" had the following chart run: 19-OUT-OUT-OUT-OUT-19-19-18-OUT-15-11-10-11-10-9-7-5-5-4-5-5-9-13 Now that I look at it, I notice that it reached its peak position in its 14th week in the chart! While a couple of songs have taken longer to reach their peak position, this is still impressive! shindymindy - here are the peak positions of "Do It" in some European singles charts: Switzerland - number 30 Austria - number 45 The Netherlands - number 31 Finland - number 6 Norway - number 18
November 27, 200717 yr Author ...My friends, let me introduce to you the CRAZIEST edition of MTV European Top 20... EVER!!!!!! Here is the MAGNIFICENT chart of November 17, 2007: 20 Avril Lavigne - Hot NEW 19 Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls 11 Down 18 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day NEW 17 Jennifer Lopez - Do It Well 10 Down 16 Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse - Valerie NEW 15 Nelly Furtado - Do It 6 Down 14 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 4 Up 13 Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah 1 Up 12 Kanye West - Stronger 7 Down 11 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music RE-ENTRY 10 Timbaland & Keri Hilson - The Way I Are 2 Up 9 Alicia Keys - No One 3 Down 8 Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love 3 Up 7 James Blunt - 1973 3 Down 6 Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts NEW 5 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize NEW 4 Foo Fighters - The Pretender 2 Down 3 Britney Spears - Gimme More 16 Up 2 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake - Ayo Technology 1 Down 1 Sugababes - About You Now 2 Up This is unbelievable! There are SIX ENTRIES in the chart! In the history of European Top 20 (at least since the end of 1991) the record for most new entries in one chart has been seven. That has happened twice - once in 1993 and once in 1998. On the other hand, there have been more than 10 occasions (if not more than 20) when there have been five new entries in the chart. However, until now there have NEVER been six NEW entries in one week! And... this doesn't change this week. Yes, there are six ENTRIES - but one of them is a re-entry. Still, this is only the second time ever when there have been six entries in the chart. The previous time was in 1998 - coincidentally, back then there were five new entries and a re-entry as well. As a whole, the "craziest" year in European Top 20's history has definitely been 1998 - there were many occasions of a large number of new entries, many re-entries, shocking (re)climbs and (re)falls... Still, I don't think any edition of the chart, even from 1998, beats this one! There are several different phenomena which make it impressive... And, since I'm not sure whether I'll ever see another edition of the chart like this, I'll mark the occasion by commenting on EVERY single one of the 20 songs in the chart!... Anyone still reading? Thank you! Here we go: 20 Avril Lavigne - Hot NEW The first new entry is the third single from Avril Lavigne's current album. "Girlfriend" reached number 1 and "When You're Gone" - number 2. It's interesting that "When You're Gone" debuted straight at number 5 (another song does the same this week) while "Hot" enters at the very bottom... 19 Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls 11 Down And what a big fall for "Beautiful Girls"! The song peaked only at number 6 but spent quite some time moving between places 6-8... Now all of a sudden it's almost out of the chart! 18 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day NEW "Shadow Of The Day" replaces "Bleed It Out", which leaves the chart. This is actually the first time that Linkin Park have entered the chart with 3 singles from one album ("What I've Done" reached the top earlier in the year). 17 Jennifer Lopez - Do It Well 10 Down And another big faller... The stay of "Do It Well" in the chart might turn out to be dangerously short! In fact, so far it's Jenny's least successful song in the chart apart from her collaboration with LL Cool J "Control Myself", which peaked at number 19. 16 Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse - Valerie NEW Third hit for Mark Ronson in the chart after "Stop Me" reached number 16 and "Oh My God" with Lily Allen spent a sole week at number 20. Will he finally achieve something more impressive with this single? Oh, and Amy Winehouse makes her debut in European Top 20. 15 Nelly Furtado - Do It 6 Down Not quite as big fall as some others but this makes it almost certain that number 9 will remain the peak position for "Do It", thus making it Nelly's lowest peaking single (next is "On The Radio", which reached number 8). 14 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You 4 Up Not much to say here. The song climbs in its second week in the chart. The big news is 3 places higher... 13 Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah 1 Up After falling for a couple of weeks, "Hey There Delilah" makes a small reclimb. Still, it only peaked at number 6 - just like "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston did... And I think both songs were more successful in Europe than their peak position would suggest. 12 Kanye West - Stronger 7 Down This fall ensures that "Stronger" isn't going to reclimb to number 2 again... By the way, if Kanye's next single "Good Life" doesn't re-enter the chart, this will be only the third time a single has outlasted its follow-up. The previous two cases: "Without You" by Mariah Carey outlasted "Anytime You Need A Friend" in 1994; and "Together Again" by Janet Jackson outlasted "I Get Lonely" in 1998. 11 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music RE-ENTRY Apart from the fact that there are six entries, this is the story of the week. I just knew that a mere 3 weeks in the chart and a peak position of number 12 wasn't all that "Don't Stop The Music" was going to achieve in European Top 20! What's amazing is that "Hate That I Love You" is also climbing. There has NEVER been a case before when an artist has had TWO current singles both climbing the chart! But it gets even funnier. "Don't Stop The Music" replaces "Shut Up And Drive", which goes out. And thus for the last 3 weeks there have been two singles by Rihanna in the chart... but each week the two singles have been different! Two weeks ago - "Shut Up And Drive" and "Don't Stop The Music" A week ago - "Shut Up And Drive" and "Hate That I Love You" This week - "Hate That I Love You" and "Don't Stop The Music" I'm not sure there will ever be a situation as unique as this one in European Top 20! 10 Timbaland & Keri Hilson - The Way I Are 2 Up "The Way I Are" spends its 18th week in the chart... The follow-up debuts this week... and yet this one goes back into the Top 10! 9 Alicia Keys - No One 3 Down "No One" entered straight at number 10 two weeks ago, then it made a promising climb to number 6 last week... but now it falls back to number 9. However, I think the reason for this are some new entries and a certain big climber higher in the chart... I'm sure this isn't all the song is capable of! 8 Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love 3 Up Here logic has prevailed in the end. The real single - "Baby Love" enters the Top 10... while "Whatever U Like", which shockingly re-entered the chart at number 15 last week, has gone out again. 7 James Blunt - 1973 3 Down It looks like number 4 will remain the peak position for this song. "1973" won't be able to become James Blunt's third chart-topper after "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover". 6 Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts NEW Welcome back, Kylie! She was last seen in the chart in 2005. At the beginning of the year she reached number 1 with "I Believe In You"... However, the follow-up "Giving You Up" spent just one week at number 20. But this impressively high debut shows that Kylie is ready to do great things again. 5 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize NEW So far it has happened only a couple of times that there are two new entries in the Top 6 (interestingly enough, one of them is from earlier this year). Still, this is the only time when there are two new entries next to each other in the Top 6 - and that's especially impressive to watch on TV! Regarding Timbaland, "Give It To Me" reached number 2; "The Way I Are" spent 7 weeks at number 1; what about "Apologize"? 4 Foo Fighters - The Pretender 2 Down It seems that "The Pretender" will remain Foo Fighters' second number 2 after "Best Of You". They'll have to wait for a better chance to climb to the top. Still, Dave Grohl has been there - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana was a number 1 in early 1992. 3 Britney Spears - Gimme More 16 Up BOOM! Here comes one of the biggest climbs in the chart's history. It was obvious that "Gimme More" would come to the higher reaches of European Top 20... So far there have been only 3 bigger climbs in the chart: "Outside" by George Michael went 19-1; "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys - 18-1; and "Look At Me" by Geri Halliwell - 20-3 (the following week, actually - so there was a 17-place climber for two weeks in a row!). What about other songs that have climbed exactly 16 places? There are two: "Without Me" by Eminem went 17-1; the other song also went 17-1... and it was "Me Against The Music"! Yes, it looks like Britney is fond of climbing 16 places in MTV European Top 20... 2 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake - Ayo Technology 1 Down "Ayo Technology" has left the top spot. So far 50 Cent has had 3 number ones. With its 4 weeks at the top, "Ayo Technology" has spent more time at number 1 than "Candy Shop" (2 weeks) but less than his biggest hit "In Da Club" (7 weeks). 1 Sugababes - About You Now 2 Up And isn't it appropriate that in such an edition there is a new number 1 as well? Sugababes have been very close to the top before - they reached number 2 with three singles in a row ("Push The Button", "Ugly" and "Red Dress"). But now they have at last made the final step to the very top! I have watched European Top 20 for more than seven years... and I have always hoped to see a MAGNIFICENT edition of the chart someday... Well, it was worth the wait!
November 29, 200717 yr Don't worry Bobiloco,i'm sure that many people are reading.......I hope to see more editions of ET20 like this in the future!!!They are not so many editions with 2 top 10 new entries in the years so far so that's why this is so crazy,as you call it.By the way only 18 songs are managed to enter the chart in the top 5 from 1991 to date.They are: № 1. Elton John / Candle In The Wind '97 № 1. Take That / Back For Good № 2. Bryan Adams / Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman № 2. Justin Timberlake / What Goes Around…Comes Around № 2. Michael Jackson & Janet Jackson / Scream № 3. Black Eyed Peas / Shut Up № 3. Boyzone / No Matter What № 3. George Michael / Jesus To A Child № 3. Cranberries / Zombie № 4. George Michael / Freeek № 4. Queen / Heaven For Everyone № 4. Justin Timberlake / My Love № 5. Avril Lavigne / When You're Gone № 5. Timbaland & One Republic / Apologise № 5. Aaliyah / Try Again № 5. Celine Dion & The Bee Gees / Immortality № 5. Stardust / Music Sounds Better With You № 5. Take That / How Deep Is Your Love I wonder who will be the No.1 for 2007?Sometimes the year-end charts that MTV shows are very strange but we'll see in a month from now. :w00t:
December 2, 200717 yr Author tsetsi81, I also hope to see another edition like that... and if it takes less than 7 years' wait this time, that will be great! However, I think that this edition might hint at a change in European Top 20, which would make it as interesting as in the 90's on a permanent basis! By the way, I still hope that there will be an edition of the chart someday with six NEW entries... Thank you for the list with the highest new entries during the chart's history! 1995 was definitely the year of high new entries - there was a debut at number 1, two debuts at number 2 and a debut at number 4! Compare that with 2003, when the highest new entry during the whole year was... at number 12!? It's true that two simultaneous new entries straight into the Top 10 is a rare occurence in European Top 20 - I checked and it turns out that this week it happens only for the 14th time since the end of 1991! And two of the cases are somewhat special - the first charts of 2000 and 2004 probably have two new entries because there hadn't been normal editions of the chart for a couple of weeks. That's definitely the case for 2004 - in 2003 there was not one but three different MTV European Top 20 year-end charts! By the way, I didn't find any year-end chart in your archive - do you have them somewhere? In this context, I have a question for you about the end of 1999/the beginning of 2000. According to Markus Tolksdorf's site, the last "normal" edition of 1999 was the chart of December 18 (when "Keep On Movin'" by 5ive climbed to the top). Then on December 25 they seem to have broadcast the year-end chart of European Top 20... However, the first "normal" edition of the new year is the chart of January 8, 2000! So the chart of January 1, 2000 is missing! Do you have any idea what it was - maybe they repeated the year-end chart of 1999 (they did that in 2001 and 2002)? And I agree with you that these year-end charts are strange - especially the one for 1998! How could "The Way" by Fastball be number 19 of the year when it spent a single week at number 15 in European Top 20!?
December 2, 200717 yr Hi Bobiloko.I remember that in 1999/2000,just like in some other years they've shown the year-end chart twice,even three times once.That's why we have a skipped week(01.01.2000).About the year-end charts in my archive-i'm not sure which version i preffer-MTV's or Markus'.Your example with Fastball is one of the reasons.In the last few years i don't watch those editions.I had archive somewhere ,but it was jost like Markus'.For 2007 i'm almost 100% sure that Rihanna's "Umbrella" will be No.1,despite the fact that i really don't like her at all.I've heard a rumour that in 2008/2009 Mtv Europe will be axed,and every country(or group of countries) will have it's own MTV.I hope that MTVBG will NOT look like our own music programs,and will not play all those stupidities that are on air now.I wlli be very happy if i see in Markus Tolksdorf's website some of the alltime charts that we both know about and even more statistics.I've try to send him an e-mail,but there's no reply-maybe wrong adress.
December 2, 200717 yr I've written an email to Markus but it looks like he has ignored it or he hasn't received it. I just wanted him to know that I have some earlier top 20 from 1991. Bobiloko could you inform him?
December 2, 200717 yr Author tsetsi81 - thank you very much for the information about the 1999/2000 case! I like MTV Europe and I don't want it to disappear in favour of MTV Bulgaria... but if that does happen, I just want MTV Bulgaria to broadcast European Top 20! Because I think there are some MTV's in European countries which don't broadcast it... Xmas Ben - I did inform Markus soon after you started posting the older editions of the chart. He has received your email, I guess he's just waiting to see your whole archive and then he'll update it on his site.
December 3, 200717 yr even if MTV Europe disappears, there will probably still be an Euro Top20. We have MTV Hungary since the first of October and it doesn't broadcast the European Top 20. Infact it doesn't broadcast charts at all at the moment! It's a piece of $h!t. BTW I don't watch for years MTV Europe. It was the best in the 90s. Since it was split into mtv Germany, UK, Italy etc, it isn't very good.

I think the ones who are broadcasting Euro top20 will continue to do so even if MTV Europe technically ceases to exist.
December 8, 200717 yr Author Here is the chart of November 24, 2007: 20 Kanye West - Good Life RE-ENTRY 19 Fergie - Clumsy NEW 18 Nicole Scherzinger - Whatever U Like RE-ENTRY 17 Craig David - Hot Stuff NEW 16 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake - Ayo Technology 14 Down 15 Nelly Furtado - Do It Stay => 14 Rihanna & Ne-Yo - Hate That I Love You Stay => 13 Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah Stay => 12 Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day 6 Up 11 Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse - Valerie 5 Up 10 Alicia Keys - No One 1 Down 9 Timbaland & Keri Hilson - The Way I Are 1 Up 8 Foo Fighters - The Pretender 4 Down 7 Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music 4 Up 6 Nicole Scherzinger - Baby Love 2 Up 5 Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts 1 Up 4 Avril Lavigne - Hot 16 Up 3 Sugababes - About You Now 2 Down 2 Timbaland & OneRepublic - Apologize 3 Up 1 Britney Spears - Gimme More 2 Up Last week's edition was incredible but this one is great as well! TWO RE-ENTRIES! And both a giant climber and a giant faller... Two re-entries in one week is something that hasn't happened since April 10, 1999 and before this week had happened a total of 5 times in the history of the chart! By the way, once there have been THREE re-entries in a single week - that happened in 1998, when the chart was crazier than ever before or after. With these two re-entries the total number of re-entries for the year 2007 becomes NINE! This is one of the highest numbers for a definite year! Let's compare how many re-entries there were every year: 1992 - 8 re-entries 1993 - 11 1994 - 2 or 3 (it depends on whether one counts "Goodnight Girl" by Wet Wet Wet as a new version or as the same version that charted in 1992) 1995 - 6 1996 - 2 1997 - NONE 1998 - 15 1999 - 12 2000-2005 - NONE! 2006 - 1 2007 (so far) - 9 So there were more re-entries only in 1993, 1998 and 1999. Oh, and this week there has been a re-entry in the chart for 3 weeks in a row - again an accomplishment which has only happened a few times before! So what about these two re-entries? "Good Life" by Kanye West entered the chart while "Stronger" was still in. And "Good Life" actually left the chart... while "Stronger" stayed in it for 3 more weeks before now finally (?) being replaced by "Good Life" again! But nothing can beat the story about the other re-entry. I thought that we had finally seen the last of "Whatever U Like" by Nicole Scherzinger... How wrong I was!!! Here's what happened - "Whatever U Like" was replaced in the chart by "Baby Love". However, two weeks ago "Whatever U Like" re-entered European Top 20 while "Baby Love" was climbing. Still, "Whatever U Like" left the chart again last week... But now! "Baby Love" continues to climb... and "Whatever U Like" re-enters the chart for the SECOND time! Until now there have been only two songs that have re-entered the chart twice - "Them Girls, Them Girls" by Zig & Zag and "When You Say Nothing At All" by Ronan Keating. But neither of them did it while another song by the respective artist was in the chart! Yet, however illogical Nicole Scherzinger's situation might seem, I think I have found an explanation for this competition between "Whatever U Like" and "Baby Love" - it turns out that both appear on the same single... Which proves that European Top 20 is a song chart and not a singles chart. At number 19 Fergie scores her fifth hit from her album with "Clumsy". So far "London Bridge" peaked at number 4, "Fergalicious" - at number 9, "Glamorous" - at number 8 and "Big Girls Don't Cry" - at number 3. The other new entry at number 17 is the comeback of Craig David. He was last seen in the chart in 2005 with "All The Way". Let's see how his new single "Hot Stuff" does! Last week "Ayo Technology" was at number 2... and this week it falls 14 places to number 16! There have been two other 14-place fallers - "Who Is It" by Michael Jackson went 5-19 in 1992 and "Heartbreaker" by Mariah Carey did the same in the first week of 2000 (but the previous two weeks a normal edition of the chart wasn't broadcast, which could explain Mariah's fall). There has never been a 15-place faller in European Top 20. The biggest fall ever was 16 places and happened twice. First in 1993 "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston went 4-20 and then in 2003 "Lose Yourself" by Eminem went 2-18... So yes, "Ayo Technology" doesn't even achieve the biggest fall from number 2! Not to mention that last year "The Saints Are Coming" by U2 and Green Day went straight OUT of the chart from number 2... The shock of the week for me was the number 4 position. When I saw it, I just couldn't believe it! Even Charlotte, the chart presenter on MTV Europe commented that "Hot" by Avril Lavigne "strangely" climbs 16 places... What makes this even more impressive is that last week "Gimme More" by Britney Spears went 19-3... So there has been a 16-place climber for two weeks in a row! There was another such case in 1999 when there was a 17-place climber for two weeks in a row - first "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys and then "Look At Me" by Geri Halliwell... And since I mentioned "Gimme More" - it is the new number 1, replacing "About You Now" by Sugababes, which spent a sole week at the top. This becomes Britney's 9th number 1 and thus she equals Michael Jackson's chart performance. Only Madonna is ahead of them with 11 number ones in the history of European Top 20.
