I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Bob The Builder's Christmas Number One
24 December 2000 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

Bob The Builder's Can We Fix It? is this year's Christmas Number One. Westlife's What Makes A Man? did not enter the Christmas chart at number one as their I Have A Dream/Seasons In The Sun did last year. Eminem's Stan has gone down to number three, one place above S Club 7.

In the album charts, The Beatles remain at Number One for a sixth week, 1 has become the biggest seller of 2000. Madonna and Eminem are the only artists who have gone up in the album Top Ten.
