I Love #1's - 2000

Last week Marvellous Marvin and his Gayers topped the ticks of '69 with 29 smackers for Heard It Through The Grapevine. Marmalade trailed in last with just 3. That's what you get for covering the rubbishest Beatles song! This week it's a new millennium and we have an ENORMOUS amount of songs for you to choose from, largely thanks to the major labels cottoning on to the fact that they could buy up a bunch of 99p singles themselves and propel their latest act straight to the top. But corporate spending power is no match for the legion of Manics fans...

- Spice Girls minus Geri! I was talking about this video the other day, each Spicer is an ELEMENT: Mel C writhing around on some astroturf with a snake is EARTH, Mel B is looking angry in a mirror = FIRE, Emma is standing infront of a blue curtain = WATER and POSH IS IN A WIND TUNNEL DYS. Of course Geri is the Mila Jojovich and not just because of her auburn locks etc.

cis played Oxide & Neutrino at Popular the other week and it was STILL AMAZING! So Solid Crew, all is forgiven.
- A1: right idea, poor execution. But their follow-up was great!
- PUT IT AWAY MADGE

ok first we watched the RUB DE LA RUB RIVER O'FIRE then we wandered in the rain tryin to find a party T had an invite to -- we knocked on the wrong door and were invited into a nice roofparty of ppl we DIDN'T KNOW AT ALL ft.sossidge BarBQ, but felt awkward after an hour or so even tho they were v.friendly, so we perservered and eventually found the party by climbin over some railings into a GATED COMMUNITY

except once there:
a. the drink was AWFUL -- really nasty cheap wine and lame beer
b. the music was WORSE!!
c. it was very COLD
d. round about five they started serving breakfast -- you cannot go wrong w.bacon scrambled eggs and a roll B-B-BUT THEY COULD
e. T wanted to dancer all night -- i wz flakin so first of all tried to snooze but was kept awake by STIFF FREEZING DRAFT
f. so i toddled off home...
g. ... T told me later that abt 30 mins after i left, the person whose BF wz throwin the party turned up in a rage -- she had not been invited -- at exactly the moment her BF chose to cause a massive grumpy queue outside the bathroom by havin sex and coke with SOMEONE WHO WASN'T HIS UNIVITED GF hurrah er er!!!
h. obv if i had stayed another 30 mins this would have been FUNNIEST PARTY EVAH

Oppotunity for 'can we tick it' sadly missed!

so was 'Can't Fight The Moonlight' rly produced by Clever Trevor Horn?

"The Trouble With Me"- how perfect?

This makes an even more fascinating contrast than usual with the P&J 2000 poll (which I've only recently caught up with).

This was ~~Rose's~~Billie's third number one! Who knew? Well, not me obv.

Christina Aguilera - "What A Girl Wants"

Mariah Carey featuring Joe and 98 Degrees - "Thank God I Found You"
Lonestar - "Amazed"
Destiny's Child - "Say My Name"
Santana featuring The Product G&B - "Maria Maria"
Aaliyah - "Try Again"
Enrique Iglesias - "Be With You"

Madonna - "Music"
Christina Aguilera - "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)"
Creed - "With Arms Wide Open"
Destiny's Child - "Independent Women, Part I"

Love it.

i am the only one to like geri solo

in da wor-ee-urld. and not just this single.

because I spent most of the evening surrounded by about a million intoxicated Germans watching Mike Oldfield, of all people. Almost as embarrassing as, say, Nazareth or something. Later on I discovered that Modern Talking were elsewhere and wandered over there (and that was equally surreal, albeit more poptimistic).

The best solo spice? Discuss.

(pls note absence of OUT OF YR MIND from this list! Oho)
