COMMENTARY ON THIS WEEK'S TOP 50:
Especially for Frank...S Club Juniors make their chart debut at #47 with a great little dance pop number called "New Direction"...a fun song that I saw performed (of course, not live) on Top of the Pops, "New Direction" is the group's first offering to the Top 50 (be on the look out for S Club's "Alive" too Frankie boy!!!)...
Peer Pressure...I couldn't take the pressure so "I wanna take a life tonight"...or at least sing about it with "Rippin' Kitten" taking DEBUT HIT honors at #39...following closely at #40 is aha's "Did Anyone Approach You" from the LIFELINES album...the first two singles from the album, including the title track, bubbled under but never made the chart..."Rippin' Kitten" is Golden Boy's first Top 50...
Third time a charm?...Leann Rimes makes it to the top 5 for the third time in chart history as "Life Goes On" jumps up to #4 in a fairly crowded top 10..."Life..." follows two #2 peaking tunes ("How Do I Live" and "Can't Fight the Moonlight") in Rimes' top 10-charting history..."Life...." although facing tough competition is a fairly strong record and has a decent shot at breaking Leann's #2 cycle...
Channeling the King of Pop...okay, so Michael Jackson is hardly the King of Pop (that title goes to Madonna!!) anymore and Justin Timberlake is poised to attempt a take over...he's got the moves, he's got the moans and groans and Oowwws!!!...taking COMBO HIT this week is his first solo single "Like I Love You," a song that grows on me more and more each week...the song bolts to #30 this week on the chart...
Not-so-Idol Pop Idols...Gareth and Will continue up the chart this week, stealing AIRPLAY/SALES HIT with "The Long and Winding Road" at #25 this week...Gates hit #12 with "Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)" earlier this Autumn and Young made it to #5 a few weeks ago with "Evergreen"...Other Pop Idols--Darius and Rik Waller--have hit the Top 50 as well...
Not-so-Idol American Idol...Kelly Clarkson takes a turn this week after dropping last week with her debut single's both tracks--"Before Your Love" and "A Moment Like This"...both songs gain points again this week and make a move toward the top 10...the songs peaked at #8 and #11, respectively...Clarkson does, however, take a dive with her version of "Without You" from the American Idol contest...the song drops from #28 to #34 this week...Clarkson is getting video airplay with videos for both "Before Your Love" and "A Moment Like This" on MTV...
Die Another Day in London...I downloaded the most interesting remix earlier this week--Madonna vs. Pet Shop Boys with "Die Another Day in London"...while I'm not sure how much I like the remix, in finding it I also found several remixes of the PSB's "London," which enters the chart at #46 this week and is the duo's third Top 50 hit from RELEASE ("Home and Dry" sits at #50 in its second Top 50 charting)...look for the B-side to the single for "London"--a song called "Positive Role Model"--to chart as well...PSB hit the top 20 earlier this year with "Sexy Northerner," the B-side to "Home and Dry"...
Top 10's...Anastacia--for the first time--scores two top 10 hits from an album as "Overdue Goodbye" moves into the #10 positions...also from FREAK OF NATURE, she hit #1 with "One Day in Y our Life" earlier this year..."Paid My Dues" hit the top 20 and "Why'd You Lie to Me" peaked at #32 last week...Anastacia hit #1 in 2000 with "I'm Outta Love" and hit #11 with "Love is Alive" and #44 with "Made for Lovin' You" in 2001...FREAK is her second album...Rockell scores another top 10 hit as "Tears" moves to #9...Rockell has had some success in charting on the Top 50: "In My Dreams" hit #1, "Can't We Try" hit #3, "When I'm Gone" hit #2, "The Dance" hit #1, and "What U Did 2 Me" hit #2...
Steps Don't Dance...Maybe not together anymore anyway but they sure are firing up the chart..."Baby Don't Dance" moves into the top 20 this week at #19...Steps has had some pretty decent success on the Top 50 since their chart debut in 1999 with "One for Sorrow" (which along with "Better the Devil You Know" is one of their two chart toppers)...All but two of the group's charting hits have made it to the top 20...former Steps members H and Claire are also performing well on the chart as "All Out of Love" moves up to #28 in its second chart week...the song is the duo's third solo Top 50 hit ("DJ" hit #5 and "Half a Heart" hit the top 15)...
