**NUMBER ONE** What it Feels Like for A Girl: Madonna |
15 | #1/2wks | ||
COMMENTARY ON THIS WEEK'S TOP 50:
Madonna scores a second week at #1 this week with "What it Feels Like for a Girl," her third official single and third #1 from MUSIC but fourth Top 50 from the album ("Music" and "Don't Tell Me" both hit #1 and "Runaway Lover" hit #6). As with the past several weeks, it is difficult to determine whether or not Madonna can steal the pole position for a third week as songs by Gabrielle, Fragma, and Steps are holding onto the top 5.
Continuing its slow ascent of the chart is French Affair's "My Heart Goes Boom" which sneaks up to #5 in its twelfth chart week. The song pushes Steps to #4 and The Sugababes' #4 hit "Run for Cover" is pushed to #6. Jennifer Lopez holds steady at #8 for a second week with "Play" as Brenda K. Starr's first top 10 hit since 1988's "I Still Believe" hit #1, called "Hold On" skips over her to land at #7. Roxette scores its first top 10 hit since 1991 as "Centre of the Heart" jumps four places to #10.
Malina's "By Your Side" rebounds from #17 to #12 this week. That's a pretty healthy move for a song that peaked at #3 for three weeks several weeks ago. Recharting in the top 10 isn't out of the question for this fine dance number. Gloria Estefan continues her assault on the chart with "Out of Nowhere" as it moves to #13 and is poised to become her first top 10 hit since 1998. Melissa Etheridge enters the top 20 with "I Want to Be in Love," moving into the #19 spot from #28.
Sandy B. scores a big week two on the chart as "Nothingness" catapaults to #20. The song takes this week's COMBO HIT--but just barely. "So Sweet" by Hypnogaja (I'm hoping to build an audio link for this one) takes AIRPLAY/SALES HIT as it rockets from #43 to #30 in its second week. These two songs are likely to be the tunes to shake up the rather stable top 10.
N Sync returns to the Top 50 this week for the first time in 2001 as "Pop" from their upcoming CELEBRITY album debuts at #43. "Kiss Kiss" by Stella Soleil debuts her at #47. Robbie Williams returns with "Let Love Be Your Energy," his fifth Top 50 showing and the follow-up to the #1 "Supreme."

Wishing everyone and safe and enjoyable holiday weekend...
