Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

50 Matchbox 20 – If You’re GoneSounds like a rip-off of Del Amitri’s “Always the Last To Know”

5 Fun Lovin’ Criminals – LocoThey must’ve been completely “loco” to release this, it’s so boring.

3 Papa Roach – Last Resort * !!!Frequenting on MTV2, their last hit wasn’t so much of a biggun and I can’tremember how it went, but this one hits out loud and proud and deservesto be played with the sound turned up.

2 Wheatus – Teenage Dirtbag * !!!With the arrival of a No.1 from Limp Bizkit, hopefully rock is back in thecharts and here to stay, wiping out all the boyband shit that has prevailedover the past few years.

This energetic track, a mainstay on MTV2 at the moment, is taken from thecomedy, “Loser”, which lost out itself after its release late last year anddisappeared shortly after its entry into the cinemas, despite featuring twostars from “American Pie”, Mena Suvari (looking fantastic) and Jason Biggs.

The song features a few kids-TV-unfriendly words that were blanked out orbadly edited on CD:UK when it was announced as “the No.1 at the moment”and MTV2 leave those in, but one word goes a bit skee-wiff at one point.

Note how I said “the No.1 at the moment”. Since there’s still one day’s worthof sales to take into account, Ant and Dec were hedging their bets, probablysince the time they listed an early Westlife single as going in at No.2when it actually hit the top slot in the proper charts.

1 Atomic Kitten – Whole Again *2nd Week at No.1*

Kerry Katona has left to have a kid with one of the Oirish boy-band Westlifeand been replaced by Jenny, who looks exactly like the other two girls.

This single is fairly catchy and, being their first No.1 single, you can’thelp but wonder if this band are now finally on their way up and Kerry iskicking herself for leaving.

This is the 4th 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

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000

7. Morgan – Flying HighIt flopped at No.89 in July last year, despite being a classic laidback summerysong that should’ve been a monster. The promo featured a cardboard coupleturning their cardboard house into a cardboard holiday destination, whichsubsequently caught fire, but they found their own way to paradise in theend.

Appearing many a time on MTV2, it even found its way into the Radio 2schedules.

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
