1. No Doubt "New"
SURE SHOTS TIP LIST
Bubbling under the 50. Most likely to make a chart impact.
The alternative punk rockers are back with a fresh new single and a great accompanying video clip.
2. Citizen King "Better Days"
This alternative single has elements of pop, rock, hip hop and alternative all in one. Could just do the trick.
3. Local H "All Right (Oh Yeah)"
Local H scored big with their first single "All The Kids Are Right", which peaked out at #12.
1. Alanis Morissette "Unsent"
SHOOT THE RADIO SHITLIST
Overplayed, overrated, overhyped. Least likely to make chart impact.
1 week at #1. Finally, a song worse than Eminem's "My Name Is". It's Alanis Morrisshit. Her first album was killer, her second's just dead. And this song is probably an all time worst.
2. Savage Garden "Animal Song"
I'm glad airplay for this one is dying. It's an absolutely horrible song. I happen to hate it more than Eminem this week.
3. Eminem "My Name Is"
4 weeks at #1. Same deal, THANK GOD airplay is eroding for this crap. People have finally realized it's crap.
4. Monica "Angel Of Mine"
I wish your angel, on your FIRST FUCKIN NIGHT together would turn into some serial sadistic rapist and give you a spanking you truly deserve.
5. Shawn Mullins "Shimmer"
What can I say? You just scare me...
| NUMBER ONE |
The opposite from last week's situation, every single is bulleted this week. Nonetheless, we can see whose making the real significant gains. In the whole chart, the biggest point gainer is the #1 single, "Only A Fool" from The Black Crowes, solidifying its #1 status, with a second week up on top, on a 44 point gain. However, it is very likely that they will lose the top spot soon, with the biggest ever chart debut, Sammy Hagar's "Mas Tequila". Sammy's new single enters at a record breaking #2. Previously, the highest official debut was Metallica's "Turn The Page", which entered the chart at #5 a few months back and went on to #1. Creed's "What's This Life For" entered at #3 on the pre-chart but even "Mas Tequila" beats that. Both Metallica and Creed's singles went on to #1. Sammy is likely to follow this high debut -> ascent to #1 pattern.
| NEW ENTRIES |
With "Mas Tequila" making big noise with the #2 debut, we must not forget two other amazing debuts inside the Top 20. At #10, Oleander's "Why I'm Here" joins a select few singles that have registered a Top 10 debut. This great single is likely to break into the Top 5 soon enough and score big. It's a great song.Another great song, Second Coming's "Vintage Eyes", debuts at #10, with strong rock radio airplay. This single has already surpassed the #40 peak of the band's previous single, "Soft". Although "Soft" was huge on airplay, "Vintage Eyes" is undoubtedly a much better song.
Further down the chart, Kid Rock also makes a #36 debut, one spot shy of previous single, "I Am The Bullgod"'s #35 rank on its opening week. The new single "Bawitdaba", is set to surpass "Bullgod"'s #27 peak, since it's already a bigger hit on alternative and active rock radio. Meanwhile, chart favorites Monster Magnet, return with single number 3, "Temple Of Your Dreams", scoring #38 on its first week. Previously, "Space Lord" peaked at #6 and "Powertrip" ranked at highest, #15.
The new singles from Marilyn Manson and Everlast also start their chart lives, at #47 and #50 respectively. Manson's "Rock Is Dead" is the band's third chart single, following "The Dope Show" (#28) and "I Don't Like The Drugs" (#48). Everlast's current single, "Ends" is the followup to the mega smash #4 "What It's Like", which ranks #23 this week.
| THE LONGEVITY CHECK |
With Creed's "What's This Life For" leaving the chart, "Slide" from the Goo Goo Dolls is the longest running single, at 27 chart weeks. It is likely to become the longest running chart single.
| GOLD & PLATINUM |
PLATINUM -
Hole - "Malibu"
Econoline Crush - "Surefire (Never Enough)"
GOLD -
Hole scores its 2nd platinum single, while Econoline Crush scores its first.
| ROCK SPOTLIGHT |
Buckcherry's "Lit Up" is becoming a huge chart smash both on Doc Rawk's 50 Singles and national charts. The single combines a metal sensitivity with the free spirit of rock and roll. The vocals sound very reminiscent of the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson. Buckcherry is getting strong radio support from active rock, rock and metal radio. This major crossover smash will crack into the Top 10 of Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts soon. This week, it ranks #13, up from #17 in only its 3rd chart week. Amazing stuff. The single is also being serviced to alternative rock radio soon.
