1. Barenaked Ladies "It's All Been Done"
SURE SHOTS TIP LIST
Bubbling under the 50. Most likely to make a chart impact.
Second single from Stunt sounds great, catchy and it's going to be a huge hit.
2. Beastie Boys "Body Movin'"
Aerobics time.
3. Garbage "Special"
Not as strong as the first two but who knows?
4. Natalie Imbruglia "Smoke"
5. Hole "Malibu"
6. Eels "Last Stop This Town"
Entry next week.
7. Dave Matthews Band "Crush"
8. Afghan Whigs "Somethin' Hot"
Cool new stuff from the Afghan Whigs. Airplay is growing.
1. Shawn Mullins "Lullaby"
SHOOT THE RADIO SHITLIST
Overplayed, overrated, overhyped. Least likely to make chart impact.
Airplay is growing -> I hate the song more.
2. Placebo "Pure Morning"
If we had points here, it is VERY close behind the #1.
3. Limp Bizkit "Faith"
Still pissing me off.
4. Kid Rock "I Am The Bullgod"
You are NOT.
5. Aaliyah "Are You That Somebody"
STOP PLAYING THIS, MTV!
| FINALLY, SOME MOVEMENT |
After weeks of stability, there's significant movement this week. First of all, we have a new #1, Kiss' "Psycho Circus", complete with an awesome video and it's just a great song. I have the CD and the whole album rocks. Which means that... after 4 weeks, Creed's "What's This Life For" ends its reign. But they shouldn't be too disappointed since the single has become the longest running Top 3 single on the chart. By dropping only to #2, it spends its 8th week in the Top 3 and 7th week in the Top 2. Amazing if it could return to #1. But that is not likely since Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away", which is all over radio, moves up to #3. It is rapidly gaining popular points as well as personal points and could be the next #1. Stabbing Westward's "Sometimes It Hurts", which is not getting the airplay it deserves, moves up to #5 anyways, because the song rocks. Meanwhile, we have two long standing chart hits in the Top 10, Eve 6's "Inside Out" logging week #14 on the chart, up from 9 to 7, while Everclear's "Father Of Mine" returns to the Top 10 at #8, for its 12th week in the Top 10 (currently the record holder) and 15th chart week. "Father Of Mine" looks to become the biggest chart hit this year as Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" leaves the chart this week after 19 chart weeks.
| HALL OF FAME |
Although you may know the Hall Of Fame is up, you may not know that I'm going to try my best to update it weekly so you can see the biggest chart hits, in terms of points and longevity, not just rank. So check back often.
| ROCK SPOTLIGHT |
The Goo Goo Dolls won't settle for one week at #1 and return to the top spot on Modern Rock to log a second week. Meanwhile, last week's #1 drops all the way to #4, Hole's "Celebrity Skin". It is displaced by Cake's "Never There" (#3) and Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away" (#2), which also happens to be the #1 song on Mainstream Rock for a second week. The track is huge and is already getting significant airplay on pop radio. There doesn't seem to be any problem for Lenny to get to #1 on Modern Rock and on Mainstream, there doesn't seem to be any threat there, seeing that the only bulleted title in the Top 5 is Black Sabbath's "Psycho Man", #4 for the second week.
| GOLD & PLATINUM |
GOLD -
Semisonic - "Singing In My Sleep"
Fastball - "Fire Escape"
You don't need to get to the Top 10 anymore to go gold. Semisonic hit #11 last week and now moves down to #12. Fastball has peaked out at #14.
