1. Everclear "One Hit Wonder"
SURE SHOTS TIP LIST
Bubbling under the 50. Most likely to make a chart impact.
2. Stabbing Westward "Haunting Me"
3. One Minute Silence "A Waste Of Things To Come"
A real grower. It may make an appearance on the chart in upcoming weeks.
4. Candlebox "Happy Pills"
Radio release is in two weeks, a sure hit. It's one of the best songs on the album. The previous Candlebox singles are still charted.
5. Sprung Monkey "Super Breakdown"
6. Train "Free"
1. Shawn Mullins "Lullaby"
SHOOT THE RADIO SHITLIST
Overplayed, overrated, overhyped. Least likely to make chart impact.
Although I've not heard this song in its entirety for months, it is still traumatizing me.
2. Janet Jackson "Every Time"
Crappy like her previous singles, she sounds like she's having an orgasm everytime she "sings". Whore, you can suck my cock.
3. Faithless "God Is A DJ"
Former #1 on the shitlist. What an annoying and totally pointless low quality techno shit.
4. Marilyn Manson "I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)"
"The Dope Show" was good before it got overplayed but this one just sucks.
5. Shania Twain "From This Moment On"
SELL OUT. And people complain about Courtney. At least Courtney's making rock music. This Shania song has NO country whatsoever. It sounds almost likeMARIAH CAREY.
| CHART UPDATE |
Hole continues its consistent rise up the charts, nabbing the Most Improved award for a 5-2 leap for their second single, "Malibu", a great followup to the #1 smash, "Celebrity Skin", which is currently #6 in its 18th week in the Top 10. It should take the #1 spot next week. (And how many times have I said that for all those songs that ended up peaking at #2?) "Malibu"'s only major competition is "10,000 Horses", whose airplay actually increases. Most of its points are coming from its #3 personal points rank. It has been bulleted for many weeks and may actually hit #1. That said, the current #1 has finally broken the record. "Kickin' My Heart Around" from the great band The Black Crowes, have spent 5 consecutive weeks at #1, longer than any other single in chart history. LATE BLOOMERS: Econoline Crush's "Surefire (Never Enough)", an excellent single which is terribly underrated, finally hits Top 10. It moves up to #10, while it's #8 on personal points. We'll see if this one can go higher. Major competition from behind, though, are Creed's "One", at #11 this week and Jonny Lang's "Still Rainin'", up to #12. The former is #7 in popular points.
| HALL OF FAME |
Just when Creed's "What's This Life For" was going to take over the #1 spot on the Hall Of Fame, it drops to #7 on the current chart, ranking BELOW Hole's "Celebrity Skin", who is looking to hold that #1 spot for a long time. However, the two singles are miles ahead from any real competition. Other news: Next week, the Goo Goo Dolls will have two platinum singles, a first for any band. "Slide" already has 1915 points and is still logged in the Top 10.
| ROCK SPOTLIGHT |
Nothing really great to report on this week except Creed's major success at radio. Their 4th single, "One", is already at #7 and climbing. Their previous three singles peaked inside the Top 3 of Mainstream Rock Tracks. "My Own Prison" peaked at #2, "Torn" at #3 and "What's This Life For" at #1 for 6 weeks. This one should be guaranteed the major success of its predecessors.
