My favourite single of the year for 2000 was “Muscle Museum” and this oneis just as much of a classic as that.
9 Marti Pellow – Close to YouHis first solo single. A dull ballad. 6 Basement Jaxx – RomeoNice quiz question on “Top of the Pops Plus”…“Who is the Romeo this week? …………… Clue: It’s BASEMENT JAXX!!!……………. No?” (skips to next question)
5 Brandy & Ray J – Another Day in ParadisePhil Collins cover version. Crap. 4 Steps – Here and Now/You’ll Be Sorry :O ===A double-header from Steps and by god it’s fucking dull!I know they’re a manufactured band, but with this effort, Claire’snose-scrunching and the dance movements, it looks even more forced thanusual.
Bring back Scooch – all is forgiven!!
1 Shaggy feat. Rayvon – Angel :O === *2nd Week at No.1*A cover of the enchanting PP Arnold track, Angel of the Morning, and abloody awful cover to boot, reducing it to a reggae beat and more OTT ‘rapping’by Shaggy. Why are people buying it?

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000
