QUOTE(Mack. @ Mar 5 2024, 04:38 PM)  'I Can't Break Down' was the debut single from Sinead Quinn from her debut album 'Ready To Run'. This would go on and peak at #2 in the UK, Sinead Quinn was the runner-up in the first series of BBC's 'Fame Academy'. Her album however would chart at #48 in the UK Albums Chart. She would later follow-up from 'I Can't Break Down' to 'What You Need Is... which would peak at #19 in the UK. Unfortunately I don't remember this song from Sinead Quinn . 'What You Need Is...' was only one single, which I bought. I wanted to get album, but the single is obviously better than nothing.  The visitors of "Gražios Dainos" topic already know about Quinnomania in my chart. This post has been edited by Last Dreamer: 5th March 2024, 01:56 PM |

This Week: (Doing this 3 days earlier as busy this week
2002- Rik Waller- I Will Always Love You I apologize but the first song for this week isn't an popular choice but it is a cover of Dolly Parton's 'I Will Always Love You' from Pop Idol's Rik Waller who somehow managed to get this version to chart at #6 in the UK. This version isn't great from him. Original: Whitney's 2004- Jamie Cullum- These Are The Days 'These Are The Days' was the second single from Jamie Cullum's third studio album 'Twentysomething'. This would go on and peak at #12 in the UK, can't say that I remember this from him, This would be his highest-ever charting single. It's probably one of those songs that you would hear in the background if you were at a coffee shop. 2005- McFly- All About You 'All About You' was the official Comic Relief song from 2005 which was done by McFly. This would go on and become their 3rd UK #1, however the following week they would be knocked off the #1 spot by the unofficial Comic Relief juggernaut that was Tony Christie, mimed by Peter Kay in 'Is This The Way to Amarillo'. In the music video this would feature an number of celebrities and 'celebrities' which were:
Johnny Vegas Davina McCall Ben Miles Lee Hurst Graham Norton Dermot O'Leary Simon Amstell Ruby Waz Kate Thornton Harry Hill Johanna McWeeney-Oxer |

I watched the Brokeback Mountain theatre show last summer and only realised afterwards it was her singing the opening song. Unless there's another Sinead Quinn but I'm pretty sure it's her.

'All About You' is one of McFly's best if not best.
Dolly's original is the only acceptable version of 'I Will Always Love You' for me. I read up about what happened to Rik years on with his music career ending due to a case of laryngitis. |

This Week:
2002- Will Young- Evergreen 'Evergreen' was the winners single for Pop Idol winner Will Young. This would go straight to #1 in the UK where it would stay for 3 weeks before being knocked off by one Gareth Gates cover. This went on to be the best-selling song of that year and was also the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history. 'Evergreen' was originally a Westlife song which appeared on their album 'World of Our Own'. 'Evergreen' was included on the first single that I brought which was Gareth Gates 'Unchained Melody'  2003- Shania Twain- Ka-Ching 'Ka-Ching' was the second single from Shania Twain's fourth studio album 'Up'. This would go on and peak at #8 in the UK. This song I do remember from in 2015 where bit of a random story but the carpool driver who took me to the Cheltenham races for the 4 days would have Shania Twain's greatest hits album on repeat. This is a good song from Shania, its definitely one that I would listen to. 2007- Cascada- Miracle 'Miracle' was the third UK single from Cascada's debut album 'Everytime We Touch'. This would go on and peak at #8 in the UK. Their previous single 'Truly Madly Deeply', I can remember people in my year were obsessed with that song. This is OK from Cascada, its not a dance classic but it would probably be on the playlist when going out. |

Thought I hadn't heard 'Ka-Ching' before but giving it a listen does sound like one I have heard and it's a pretty good track from her again. The follow up to 'Gonna Getcha Good' I think?
'Evergreen' is a decent talent show offering but my top fave here is the banger 'Miracle' should have been the 2nd single following EWT for me!

This Week: (Doing this a day earlier as busy on Thursday
2000- Chicane ft Bryan Adams- Don't Give Up The first song for this week is from: Chicane featuring Bryan Adams with 'Don't Give Up' which was the second single from Chicane's second studio album 'Behind the Sun'. This would go on and become Chicane's first and only UK #1 and Bryan Adams' second UK #1, it would stay at #1 for a week. I find this to be an motivation song for me. I would definitely listen to this rather than Bryan Adam's other #1. 2003- Simply Red- Sunrise 'Sunrise' was the first single from Simply Red's eighth studio album 'Home'. This would go on and peak at #7 in the UK, this would sample Hall & Oates 1981 hit 'I Can't Go for That (No Can Do), This is all right from Simply Red, probably one of about half of dozen songs that I would listen to from Simply Red. Sampled: 2003- Busted- Year 3000 'Year 3000' was the second single from Busted's self-titled debut album. This would go on and peak at #2 in the UK, I would tell Busted to leave my great-great-great granddaughter alone if it were me. I can remember that this was very popular in my primary school, everyone talked about Busted that was until the following year when a certain McFly came along.... |

Year 3000 is a classic.
 So many memories attached to that song. First time hearing the Chicane/Bryan collab. I quite like it but not my favourite from Bryan. |

This Week: 2005- McFly- You've Got A Friend 'You've Got A Friend' was the official Comic Relief song from 2005 which was done by McFly. This would go on and become their 3rd UK #1, however the following week they would be knocked off the #1 spot by the unofficial Comic Relief juggernaut that was Tony Christie, mimed by Peter Kay in 'Is This The Way to Amarillo'. This was part of the double A-side single along with 'All About You'. This was the lead single from McFly's second studio album 'Wonderland'. This was an cover from Carole King's 1971 single. It would be James Taylor's version that was released first in 1971 where that would peak at #4 in the UK, in 1997 this was covered by The Brand New Heavies where their version would peak at #9 in the UK. McFly's version however would out peak the original version. Original Version: James Taylor's Version: The Brand New Heavies Version: 2008- Panic At The Disco- Nine In The Afternoon 'Nine in the Afternoon' was the lead single from Panic At The Disco's second studio album 'Pretty.Odd'. This would go on and peak at #13 in the UK where it was the band's highest charting single at the time. In the US this would peak at #51 in the Billboard Hot 100. I vaguely remember this from 2008, it probably wasn't one that I would listen to on repeat. Not one though I have heard for a long time. 2009- Vanessa Jenkins, Bryn West ft Tom Jones & Robin Gibb- (Barry) Islands In the Stream Be warned, this may not be a popular choice, but it was another Comic Relief song this time from Vanessa Jenkins aka Ruth Jones and Uncle Bryn West aka Rob Brydon, this would feature Sir Tom Jones with Robin Gibb as a backing vocalist. This would go on and reach #1 in the UK, it would only stay in the UK Top 40 for three weeks with a run of 1-3-23. It was thanks to the popularity of Gavin & Stacey at the time this went to #1. This version isn't anyone near a patch on the original from Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton. I remember that my sister would play the Comic Relief version on repeat and I was put out that this knocked off Flo Rida/Kesha from the #1 spot. Uncle Bryn and Nessa still have more #1s than One True Voice. Original Version: |

Never heard that Michelle McManus song before
 alright I guess.'Nine In The Afternoon' is still a pretty good song from Panic. Think it'd be my fave still tbh as although I like 'High Hopes' I've never really loved it or anything. 'Bag It Up' is totally naff but in a fun way for me #sorrynotsorry. |

I discovered that Robbie x Kylie collab through the #2 listenthrough and I think it's pretty decent!
Miracle is better than EWT imo, at least in its original form. |

This Week:
2000- Bloodhound Gang- The Bad Touch Explicit Version: 'The Bad Touch' was the debut UK single from American alternative rock band Bloodhound Gang taken from their third studio album 'Hooray for Boobies'. This would originally enter the UK at #5, four weeks later it would reach a new peak of #4, quite rare in 2000 that a song would climb to its original peak. I did wonder why when I was at school that I got sent out for singing this although I was only 6. Top of The Pops Performance: 2005- Freeloaders ft The Real Thing- So Much Love To Give 'So Much To Give' was from British house music duo Freeloaders which feature a sample of 'Love's Such a Wonderful Thing' by The Real Thing. This would go on and peak at #9 in the UK, this is a decent dance tune from Freeloaders. Top of The Pops Performance: Sampled: |
