Oh, yeah, we're entering the era where half the songs on the chart have a "featuring" credit. Don't know how I'd deal with that to be honest.
ReplyDeleteShaggy had two number ones during the year, but both actually entered the chart in 2000, so maybe he should have been in that year's top 5. Ashanti probably should make the list with 3 big hits including "Foolish" which was #1 for 10 weeks.
