Her singing career was relatively short-lived and she soon returned to acting.


1999 in British music charts, Developments, American successes
Many acts during the year managed to be successful in the UK, but did not manage to match the chart topper they had scored in the US.

Her newest album Rainbow could only make it to number eight in the UK and sold just 12 million copies worldwide – her lowest global count at the time.

Southern Californian band, The Offspring are also not as successful in the US as they are in the UK, with their number one single being scored in January with "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)". They followed it up with a number two hit and went on to great success around the world.

1999 in British music charts, Developments, Solo Spices

1999 in British music charts, Developments, Female artists
Pop singer Shania Twain became an international sensation this year. She was back on the music scene with her third album, Come On Over. Her previous album, The Woman in Me had set various records for country albums and female artists, however Come On Over exceeded those records and became one of the biggest selling albums in the world ever. It spanned hits such as the orchestral "From This Moment On", the upbeat "Man! I Feel Like a Woman! ", "That Don't Impress Me Much" and the soft love ballad "You're Still the One".


1999 in British music charts, Developments, Female artists
All reaching the Top 10 in the UK, the most successful of these singles was a remix of "That Don't Impress Me Much", which despite only reaching number three in the singles chart became the seventh biggest selling single of the year. The album itself is the 11th biggest selling album in the UK with over 3 million copies sold and the second largest selling by a female solo artist, after Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. The album has sold 29 million copies worldwide and is her most successful album to date, making her a superstar in her own right.

1999 in British music charts, Developments, Pop acts
S Club 7 reached the top with their début single "Bring It All Back" in June and quickly became the most successful mixed pop group since ABBA. The only thing they failed to achieve was international success, despite making and releasing 4 successful TV series' three of which were filmed in different locations in the US. The group seemed to peak at #2 non-stop throughout the rest of the year with their two follow up singles and their début album all reaching this position.


1999 in British music charts, Developments, Pop acts
British pop singer Lolly (real name Anna Kumble) was very successful scoring three Top 10 hits (two of which went Top 5) and her album also went Top 25. Her songs are well remembered for being criticised everywhere for being "cheesy", however still being very successful.


1999 in British music charts, Developments, Pop acts
1970s punk rock band Blondie also made a surprise resurgence at the very beginning of the year, making #1 18 years after their previous Top 10 hit (and 19 years after their previous #1). "Maria", the band's sixth #1, was the first track taken from their #3 album, No Exit. The band started fresh as member differences and conflicts outside of the group had all been settled. Lead singer Debbie Harry continued to pursue acting as well as being a member of the group. She is the oldest female to make number one at 54 years of age, however Cher still holds the record for oldest solo female to reach the top. Despite topping the charts in several countries "Maria" never made number one in their US homeland.


1999 in British music charts, Developments, Albums of 1999
The albums to top the chart during the year were from a balance of genres. Although usually it is a domination of pop acts, rock and other acts were starting to top the charts more which were the first signs of a change towards wider appeal of other genres of albums to the public which continued to grow in the new millennium – 2004's album charts for example being dominated by rock bands. Blur, Catatonia, Suede, Texas, Jamiroquai, The Chemical Brothers, Travis & Leftfield all hit number one on the albums chart, showing how rock, dance, and adult pop could also be big album sellers


1999 in British music charts, Developments, Albums of 1999
Despite resistance from other genres, pop was not kept completely off the top. Steps' new album, Steptacular containing the million selling single "Tragedy", which hit #1 for one week in January topped the albums chart for 4 weeks and sold very well. A third re-issue of ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits pushed up sales of the album to over 3.6 million. Today it is the second biggest selling album of all time in the UK. Continuing the success of their album from 1998 were The Corrs with "Talk On Corners", which topped the charts for a further 4 weeks during 1999, making its total count 10 weeks.


1999 in British music charts, Developments, Christmas number one
This particular Christmas number one was seen of great importance because it would be the one which would span into the new millennium. Many acts fought to claim this position including the likes of S-Club, Artful Dodger, Vengaboys and Steps, however only one act could claim it. Even John Lennon's 1981 #1 hit "Imagine" was re-issued, upon which it made #3.


1999 in British music charts, Developments, Christmas number one
With strong desire to claim the Christmas number one that would span into the new millennium due to his longstanding association with Christmas chart toppers and Christmas releases, Cliff Richard shot straight to the top of the charts in early December with his special millennium release "The Millennium Prayer". It topped the UK charts for three weeks and everyone expected him to make the Christmas number one, however in Christmas week, the position he strongly desired to maintain was stolen from him by new phenomenon boyband, Westlife. Their covers of ABBA's #2 hit from 1979, "I Have A Dream" and Terry Jacks' #1 hit from 1974 "Seasons In The Sun", saw them steal the Christmas #1 spot and have their longest stay at the top of the charts – a four-week stay.


1999 in British music charts, Developments, The rise of imports

1999 İzmit earthquake
On 17 August 1999, an earthquake in northwestern Turkey killed around 17,000 people and left more than 250,000 people homeless. The shock had a moment magnitude of 7.6 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent). The event lasted for 37 seconds, severely damaging the city of İzmit.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake
The earthquake occurred along the western portion of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). The Anatolian Plate, which consists primarily of Turkey, is being pushed west about 2–2.5 cm (0.8–1.0 in) a year, as it is squeezed between the Eurasian Plate to the north and the Arabian Plate to the south. Major earthquakes in Turkey result mainly from slip along the NAFZ or the East Anatolian Fault.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake
The Izmit earthquake had a rupture length of 150 kilometers (93 mi) extending from the city of Düzce all the way into the Sea of Marmara along the Gulf of İzmit. Offsets along the rupture were as large as 5.7 meters (18.7 ft).


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake
From the timing of P-wave and S-wave arrivals at seismometers there is strong evidence that the rupture propagated eastwards from the epicentre at speeds in excess of the S-wave velocity, making this a supershear earthquake.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake, Damage
Destruction in Istanbul was concentrated in the Avcılar district to the west of the city. Avcılar was built on relatively weak ground mainly composed of poorly consolidated Cenozoic sedimentary rocks, which makes this district vulnerable to any earthquake.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake, Damage
The earthquake was heavily felt in this industrialized and densely populated urban area of the country, including oil refineries, several automotive plants, and the Turkish navy headquarters and arsenal in Gölcük, increasing the severity of the loss of life and property. The earthquake also caused considerable damage in Istanbul, about 70 kilometres (43 mi) away from the earthquake's epicenter.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake, Damage
An official Turkish estimate of 19 October 1999 placed the toll at 17,127 killed and 43,959 injured, but many sources suggest the actual figure may have been closer to 45,000 dead and a similar number injured. Reports from September 1999 show that 120,000 poorly engineered houses were damaged beyond repair and approximately 20,000 buildings collapsed, resulting in more than 250,000 people becoming homeless after the earthquake.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake, Damage
There was extensive damage to several bridges and other structures on the Trans-European Motorway (European route E80), including 20 viaducts, 5 tunnels, and some overpasses. Damage ranged from spalling concrete to total deck collapse.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake, Fire
The earthquake sparked a disastrous fire at the Tüpraş petroleum refinery. The fire began at a state-owned tank farm and was initiated by naphtha that had spilled from a holding tank. Breakage in water pipelines, results of the quake, nullified attempts at extinguishing the fire. Aircraft were called in to douse the flames with foam. The fire spread over the next few days, warranting the evacuation of the area within three miles of the refinery. The fire was declared under control five days later after claiming at least seventeen tanks and untold amounts of complex piping.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Earthquake, Tsunami
The earthquake caused a tsunami in the Sea of Marmara that was about 2.5 meters high. The tsunami caused the deaths of 155 people.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Response
A massive international response was mounted to assist in digging for survivors and assisting the wounded and homeless. Rescue teams were dispatched within 24–48 hours of the disaster, and the assistance to the survivors was channeled through NGOs and the Red Crescent and local search and rescue organizations.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Response
The following table shows the breakdown of rescue teams by country in the affected locations:

The U.K announced an immediate grant of £50,000 to help the Turkish Red Crescent, while the International Red Cross and Red Crescent pledged £4.5 million to help victims. Blankets, medical supplies and food were flown from Stansted airport. Engineers from Thames Water went to help restore water supplies. India also assisted by providing 32,000 tents and 2 million rupees to help in the reconstruction process.


1999 İzmit earthquake, Response
US President Bill Clinton and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif later visited Istanbul and İzmit to examine the level of destruction and meet with the survivors.

1999: The New Master
1999: The New Master is an EP of newly recorded remixes of Prince's 1982 hit "1999". The EP was released in the year 1999 to take advantage of the song's namesake year. Using the original tracks, Prince added additional music, as well as contributions from a new lineup suspiciously resembling The New Power Generation, including Rosie Gaines, Larry Graham and Doug E. Fresh. The EP was released in the U.S. on CD, as well as a rare purple vinyl 12-inch.


1999: The New Master
Although Prince was still going by his unpronounceable, symbolic moniker at the time, he released the EP as "Prince and the Revolution", with the word Revolution written in reverse, as it had been on the original 1999 album cover. The Revolution members on the original track (Lisa Coleman and Dez Dickerson) did not participate in the re-recording, however. In fact "The Inevitable Mix" of the track cut out the original members altogether and replaced them with Graham and Gaines. Three of the tracks had very little to do with "1999" at all. "Keep Steppin'" and "Rosie & Doug E. In a Deep House" were little more than opportunities for Fresh to rap and Rosie Gaines to scat. The track called "Rosario" featured actress Rosario Dawson performing a political spoken word over the chords of "Little Red Corvette".


1999: The New Master
The original track has since been released on two hits compilations by Warner Bros.


1999: The New Master
In 1998, Prince clamed he had re-recorded his entire Warner Bros. catalogue as "new masters". however, these were unreleased.

Associazione Calcio Fiorentina did not manage to repeat its near-miss season from 1998–99, and instead missed out on qualification to the Champions League, following an inconsistent season. Its topscorer Gabriel Batistuta finally gave up on clinching the Serie A title with Fiorentina, and switched to Roma in the summer, a move which was greeted with controversy since Roma had only finished sixth in the 1999–2000 season.

The 1999–2000 season saw Associazione Sportiva Roma continue its long drought of titles, finishing a frustrating 6th place in Serie A.


1999–2000 A.S. Roma season
New manager Fabio Capello did not make an immediate impact, and its position actually worsened with one spot, despite 18 goals from Sampdoria signing Vincenzo Montella. Reward for Capello's new 3–4–1–2 system would come in 2000–01, however, when summer signings Gabriel Batistuta, Walter Samuel and Emerson completed the thin squad of the 1999–2000 season, and Roma was able to claim the title. That seemed far away as city rivals Lazio celebrated the 2000 league title.

1999–2000 AEK Athens F.C. season, Overwiew
From the middle of previous season, Dimitris Melissanidis had taken over the management of the team again and had been credited the success of the entrance to the Champions League qualifiers. Melissanidis decided to follow the example of Dusan Bajevic and addressed the Serbian market to build the new AEK of titles. The upcoming Serbian coach Ljubiša Tumbaković from Partizan arrived at AEK and brought with him Matijašević, Petrić and Bjeković. The highlight was the loan of Dragan Ćirić from Barcelona, which raised a storm of excitement in the AEK fans, who rushed to the airport to welcome him.


1999–2000 AEK Athens F.C. season, Overwiew
The season started with great enthusiasm, title expectations and a very passable draw in the Champions League qualifiers, which gave AEK the assurance of qualifying in the groups, therefore financially independent and self-sufficient. Tumbaković however did not start well, he lost both of the derbies from Panathinaikos and Olympiacos, as a result of which the protests of the fans started early.


1999–2000 AEK Athens F.C. season, Overwiew
Already after the exclusion from AIK for the Champions League, it was a common secret that Melissanidis left the management, a fact that Petros Stathis kept as secret as possible, before the multinational owners of the team took the matter into their hands and appoint the first foreigner president in history of the club, Cornelius Sierhuis. As if this were not enough, at the beginning of September a big earthquake took place in Parnitha and damaged part of Nikos Goumas Stadium which was deemed unsuitable for fans, being dangerous for its physical integrity. AEK was forced to give most of its home games to Nea Smyrni Stadium.

In the competitive part, Tumbaković continued to bring irrational results and the patience was starting to run out at the end of December. After a home defeat by Panionios, Tumbaković could no longer remain on the bench of AEK, since he was left out of the UEFA Cup. Among others, his transfers proved to be mediocre, Ćirić did not live up to the expectations around his reputation. The situation brought Takis Karagiozopoulos as an interim coach and immediately after Giannis Pathiakakis on the team's bench, with the entire organization of AEK considering the season wasted.

Pathiakakis raised psychology of the divided team, but also lost the derbies. The season was saved from the qualification against Olympiacos in the Cup and finally its conquest. AEK finishes in 3rd place, far from the first two places. The only positive element of the season after winning the Cup, since the team did not manage to win any derby.
