1. Black Sabbath "Psycho Man"
SURE SHOTS TIP LIST
Bubbling under the 50. Most likely to make a chart impact.
They're back with a great single that is burning up hard rock radio. It should make a strong debut next week.
2. The Cardigans "My Favorite Game"
Surprisingly a great single, so much better than the irritating "Lovefool".
3. Better Than Ezra "At The Stars"
Followup to the underrated "One More Murder" from new album How Does Your Garden Grow
4. Natalie Imbruglia "Smoke"
One of the strongest songs in the album, already Top 5 in the UK.
5. Eve 6 "Leech"
Another strong single with great lyrics. Could be as big as "Inside Out"
6. Hole "Malibu"
Second single from Celebrity Skin, great pop alternative song like the title track.
7. Beastie Boys "Body Movin'"
"Intergalactic" was #11. Could they land their first Top 10 hit with this one.
8. Kiss "I Finally Found My Way"
A bit early but I'm predicting an "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" for this on.
9. Eels "Last Stop This Town"
Cool alternative track, looks like it won't be as big as "Novocaine For The Soul".
1. Shawn Mullins "Lullaby"
SHOOT THE RADIO SHITLIST
Overplayed, overrated, overhyped. Least likely to make chart impact.
A former #25 on my chart. I've grown to hate it now it's overplayed, realizing he was too lazy to add a real melody to his verses and THAT HORRIBLE VIDEO!
2. Placebo "Pure Morning"
Succeeds at being majorly annoying for a 3rd week in the Top 2.
3. Limp Bizkit "Faith"
A HORRIBLE cover. They're capable of so much better.
4. Monica "The First Night"
She is supposed to be saying "NO" to sex on the first night but she certainly doesn't get her point across.
5. Aaliyah "Are You That Somebody"
Her singing needs help. Her hair needs help. You don't need prozac with this.
| CREED #1 FOR WEEK 4 |
The chart has been very stable to the point where this week's Top 5 is exactly the same as last week's up to the same positions. All singles lose points and have shifted around in the personal points chart but with popular points factored in, they don't move on the main chart. What does this mean? Creed's "What's This Life For" has now broken the record for the longest consecutive run at #1, at 4 weeks. If it can stay at the top for one more week, it will be the biggest hit in chart history. Not bad for a band that doesn't get much hype. It's a great song. Korn, Goo Goo Dolls, Lenny Kravitz and Hole are right behind it. The only real competition is Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away", which has been put on MTV and VH1 airplay. It is also the #1 song on Mainstream rock and it's just a very successful single. Right behind the Top 5 are other mainstream rock hits, Kiss' "Psycho Circus" (17-6) and Stabbing Westward's "Sometimes It Hurts" (8-7). These two great songs look like they might just crack in the Top 5 in the following weeks. Fuel also score their second Top 10 hit with "Bittersweet" up to #10 from #19. This great new single may just hit #1 like its predecessor, "Shimmer".
| OLD SINGLES MOVE UP |
The week isn't very strong, with many singles losing points. However, many singles move back up, such as Candlebox's "It's Alright" (28-20), Brother Cane's "Machete" (45-23) and Dishwalla's "Once In A While" (43-24). Although their gains are not very significant in normal chart weeks, they have moved up high due to the fact many other singles are losing a lot of points.
| ROCK SPOTLIGHT |
Hole's "Celebrity Skin" REGAINS the #1 spot on Modern Rock with a bullet. Last week's #1, Goo Goo Dolls' "Slide" moves down to #2 unbulleted. This doesn't bode well for the Dolls since Lenny Kravitz, Cake and Offspring are bulleted at 3, 4 and 5 respectively. It should be interesting to see what happens next week. Hole's "Celebrity Skin" is their first #1 and has already tied Nirvana's biggest hit, "Heart Shaped Box", which peaked at #1 for 3 weeks and hit #4 on Mainstream Rock. Interestingly enough, "Celebrity Skin" has so far peaked at #4 on that chart as well, now dropping to #5 unbulleted. On Mainstream Rock, Lenny Kravitz, a core artist, hits #1 with "Fly Away", while last week's #1, Kiss' "Psycho Circus" only got one week at #1, the shortest run at #1 in a long time, since previous #1's, Days Of The New's "The Down Town" and Creed's "What's This Life For" spent a total of 16 weeks at #1.
