New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
“Pilots” is good enough on its own, while “Lovely Head” is the excellenthaunting track from the One2One mobile phone advert featuring Gary Oldman.
38 Bjork – Pagan Poetry * !!!Soft, powerful and very bizarre and watching the video why are MTV2 blockingout portions of the picture? Has she been pierced in the back by those chains? 14 The Strokes – Last NiteA good bit of entertainment, but I’m starting to feel that listening toone Strokes song is much like another. 8 Cher – The Music’s No Good Without YouBut now she’s sounding once again like she’s singing through a bathtub,the music’s definitely better without her! 6 All Star Tribute – What’s Going OnA cover of the Marvin Gaye song for the Sept 11th New York atrocity victimsand those afflicted by AIDS, but charity singles have had their day.If you’re that bothered go and give them some money direct.
1 Westlife – Queen of My Heart :O === *1st Week at No.1*A double bill for this dull love song with an even more boring “When You’reLooking Like That”. And now they’ve had as many No.1s as the Spice Girls.I wonder if they’ll soon be in debt like them.

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000
46. Spiller – Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)In August last year there was a week-long battle between these Ibiza-tunekings and Posh Spice. The better of the two won out, unlike the berks at CD:UKon ITV who swapped the positions around.
Featuring the vocals of ex-Theaudience’s Sophie Ellis-Bextor (daughter ofJigsaw/Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis), this song also featured over theBBC self-trailer for their “One Summer of Love” tour.
