This is a summary of 2000 in music in the United Kingdom, including the official charts from that year.
This was her 10th UK number one, putting her fourth in the most UK number one's category behind Elvis Presley and The Beatles (17 each) and Cliff Richard (14).
Her success in the UK had been significantly less than her success in the US, where she became a phenomenon, scoring 15 number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100.

2000 holds the record for the most number one singles in one particular calendar year, with 43 singles holding the number one spot, if you include the Westlife number one single spanning over from Christmas in 1999.
Still, the All Saints made a return to the music scene with their 2nd album Saints And Sinners, which not only topped the UK charts, but also produced 2 #1 singles: "Pure Shores" which was taken from the soundtrack to The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio and "Black Coffee".
2000 was an excellent example of this, being the year that still holds the record for most #1 singles in a calendar year (43) and also contains the longest run of consecutive 1 week #1 singles.

 August 2000 Reviews. Film Music on the Web (UK) scrolling file Part 1 No CD covers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The music begins somewhat ominously as though self-righteously censoring the lewd activities to follow but soon this mood gives way to the dizzy whirl of the love carousel; frivolous and comedic and ending by cocking a snook at the puritan attitude of its opening.
Amazon UK Although I could not agree with the writer of this album’s booklet notes who asserts that Max Steiner’s score for Band of Angels (1957) was one of the composer’s most memorable scores, I do agree that it has been unjustly ignored.
For ‘Starwood’ there is more feminine music commencing with material that seems to suggest a heroine dressed in flowing crinolines and big hat carrying a parasol to shield her from the sun as she rides stately in her carriage.

 Weaver's UK Music Charts - December 2000
The UK's attention is only on the sales chart, and those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.
The UK release was scheduled for early December, but it fell off the release roster for no adequately explored reason.
The UK release is on new year 2001, and there's a small swell of opinion - and, more importantly, airplay - gathering behind this band.

 The Music Box: Pearl Jam and Supergrass at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL on October 9, 2000
It was the best album of their career, and without industry support, the band would face significant hurdles in taking their music on the road -- inflicting undue pain on the fans in the process.
Further weighing into this decision was the fact that attendance at their concerts and sales of their albums already had been slipping, and if a group falls too far, all their clout and power drift away like dust in the wind.
Additionally, their musical pallette has also grown and expanded in a myriad of new and interesting directions.

 2000 in British music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The year proved to be another successful one for Britney Spears, who scored a 2nd UK chart topper early on in the year with a 4th release from her debut album,...Baby One More Time.
This was in part due to Radiohead's radical musical departure from the rock driven OK Computer, with Kid A dominated by electronica akin to that of Aphex Twin and Autechre.
The start of a new decade saw a stronger liking towards new genres of music such as hip hop and R'N'B. However, this particular year still saw plenty of pop acts rule the chart, and it would be the strongest year for the genre until today since the turn of the millenium.

Amazon UK This is a very clever idea to package Prokofiev’s two major film scores together in this budget presentation and I urge all adventurous lovers of film music who are unfamiliar with this music to invest in this 2CD album.
But the music also has a mournful edge as though Rachmaninov, rather than Poe, was warning us of the responsibilities and ties of marriage and that it is the first step on the downward path to death and oblivion.

 Jean Michel Jarre: Sessions 2000 - PopMatters Music Review
Ultimately, though, much of Jarre's legacy has been over-romanticized music that served as the soundtrack for spectacle as he gave concerts in Moscow and Paris that were increasingly happenings and media events accompanied by grand sets and enormous light shows.
He has definitely recognized that electronic music in general, and ambient in particular, have moved on since his original groundbreaking albums.
Ultimately, Sessions 2000 is probably most interesting as environmental music (which is what ambient was supposed to be, anyway, though Jarre probably never thought of his work as particularly "ambient") or as a journal of a year spent in the studio experimenting with a variety of new sounds and atmospheres.

Madonna's obsession with all things English comes to something of a head on the video for her single "Music", taken from the album of the same name, as she dons the gold jewellery and cowboy hat of the garage set and hangs out with Ali G.
With controversial video director Jonas Akerland at the helm, Madonna has never looked trashier as she pouts and writhes around in the back of a stretch limo, champagne glass in hand, as her chauffeur, Mr G himself, tries to keep his eyes on the road.
The video is very now and she looks stunning, as does Mr G in all his bad taste finery.

 Bob Marley: Rebel Music (2000) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
While it is certainly a moving piece, with a number of never-before-seen (or heard) snippets about the King Of Reggae, the film comes off as a bit lazy in parts.
Marre attempts to make a seamless music video out of these snippets, and the result is an obvious patchwork quilt (Marley and the Wailers make the exact same gestures and movements that we saw just a moment ago) that simply looks shoddy.
The highlights of "Rebel Music" are its candid interviews with Bob, especially the one which took place on a sundeck overlooking the Caribbean.

Conceived in part as a commemoration, in part as a means of drawing musicological attention to the significance of the modern urban landscape in shaping the production and reception of 20th century musical modernism, this one-day conference will explore music theatre works of both composers from the 1920s to the mid 1930s.
Just as Lang’s iconic film Metropolis (1926) is a futuristic vision set around the year 2000, the conference will, furthermore, consider whether any significant conclusions can be drawn from revisiting the music and ideas of Krenek and Weill for our own times.
