Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

30 Shed Seven – Cry For HelpOnly heard this a couple of times on MTV2 and the video features the leadsinger shedding clothes one by one whilst trying to keep up with his bandmates,ending up in smart dress trying to get into a club after following them aroundfor the whole day.

17 Papa Roach – Between Angels and Insects * !!!Not half as big a hit as Last Resort, but a fantastic, thumpingrock track nonetheless.

However, it was a bit disconcerting to watch this on MTV2 at lunchtime,whilst tucking into a sandwich, and seeing the lead singer open his mouth tolet a stack of cockroaches fly out!

10 Fatboy Slim – Weapon of Choice / Star 69 *I’ve only heard “Weapon of Choice”, which is a catchy dance track but thevideo has to be seen to be believed, with veteran actor Christopher Walkendancing his way around a hotel lobby as if 20 years younger.

6 Depeche Mode – Dream On *Bordering just right on the balance between ‘mean and moody’ and beingcatchy, this is a welcome return to the charts for Depeche Mode whose musicrarely falters, even now they’re down to a three-piece band.

1 S Club 7 – Don’t Stop Movin’ :O === *1st Week at No.1*

I’m really growing tired of these popsters now if they can’t make anythingthat’s not derived from something that’s gone before.

Don’t Stop Movin’ has moments nicked from Madonna’s Vogue and the B-52s’Love Shack.

This is the 10th single to go straight in at No.1 :

1. Rui Da Silva feat. Cassandra – Touch Me
2. Jennifer Lopez – Love Don’t Cost a Thing
3. Limp Bizkit – Rollin’
4. Atomic Kitten – Whole Again
5. Shaggy feat. Rikrok – It Wasn’t Me
6. Westlife – Uptown Girl
7. Hear’Say – Pure and Simple
8. Emma Bunton – What Took You So Long
9. Destiny’s Child – Survivor
10. S Club 7 – Don’t Stop Movin’

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000

18. Coldplay – ShiverGearing up for a single release for “Don’t Panic”, “Shiver” is one of twotracks from last year which made my Top 50, even though I usually don’t acceptmore than one track per artist.

“Shiver” only made No.35 in March last year but was a fantastic upbeat tunewhich still gets regular airplay on MTV2 and was one of the closing tunesfrom the third series of Cold Feet.

It was followed by Yellow (No.4, July 2000) and Trouble (No.10, Nov 2000)

The end bit :

Well, that’s it for now. If you want to be added to the WidescreenVideo and Laserdisc lists, just mail me.

Bye for now,

Dominator
