CHART COMMENTARY

THE FIRST NO. 1 OF THE MILLENNIUM IS... Christina Aguilera's "What A Girl Wants". She starts of the year 2000 with a second no. 1 single after her debut single, "Genie In A Bottle", spent five weeks on top last year. The only other artist that has achieved similar success with her first two singles is Britney Spears, who is also trying to score a fourth no. 1 hit with the ballad "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart". Although this song is nice, I don't think it has what it takes to be as huge as her previous singles. I would have chosen "Born To Make You Happy" since this song has been released over seas instead of what North America got. I might be wrong though, maybe it just has to grow on me...

COMING UP... Sonique- "Feels So Good", Macy Gray- "I Try", Q-Tip- "Breathe & Stop", Puff Daddy- "Best Friend", Madonna- "American Pie", Aaliyah- "I Don't Wanna" & Jennifer Lopez- "Feeling So Good".
