[Album Charts] [New Albums Release Info]
[Last week’s chart]
In the last chart of 1999, I posted my Top 50 singles of the year, pickingout the Top 10 first. During 2000, I’ll be going through the list one by onestarting with the Top 10 in alphabetical order.
This week : 11 new entries, 1 climbers, 2 non-movers & 26 downers.(* – my current favourites)
(!!! – Single Of The Week!!!)
(:O === the current all-time hate that makes even my smilie want to hurl!)
( (R) – Repeat., ie. a re-release)
A brief analysis on the current chart situation…
11 new entries :
As I wrote in May 1998 when it got a mention as one of my Top 50 singles of1997, I noted that “In these days of dance tracks being endlessly rereleasedI hope this one comes out again soon…as long as they leave it as it is though.”
The good news is that this is the same track. The bad news is that it’s beenremixed to the point where the background music that made it special has beenremoved and now replaced with something that completely goes against the grain.A perfect example of turning good to shit.
This single is the 13th in a row to go straight in at No.1.
