Well I've just finished listening to all this on iPlayer, so many classics. I even enjoyed the ones I used to hate.
My favourites were: Beggin, F**k It, Ridin', We Own It, Jerk It Out, Welcome To JamRock & Mr Saxobeat. And I'd never heard United States Of Whatever before and now I'm obsessed. (Well done everything one for hosting this thread.) |

I, too, have just finished listening to it all on iPlayer. It was just as wonderful as I expected, with more great discoveries than I could keep track of. So I'm genuinely considering another listen of the entire thing! I do recall "Nasty Girl", "Glorious", and "Love Shy (Thinking About You)" being highlights of the songs I didn't know.
Hopefully these 'of the millennium' specials keep happening every year or so. I worry that Radio 1 will eventually want to stop playing songs from as early as 2000. Enjoying them while they last, though, for sure The Bravery - An Honest Mistake (2005) "Believe" didn't chart. That surprised me too when I found out. Great song!{7}-15-28-49-64-54R(2)-51-60-59-57->10 Huh, I was pretty sure "Believe" was a hit in the UK... where did that peak? |

"Ready For The Floor": Didn't Hot Chip get another hit with Wiley or something? I wouldn't have put it past them to collaborate, but as far as I know the only connection is this classic Live Lounge cover: I'm still surprised they played them anyway. I thought 'Ready For The Floor' was a great example of a song that's the acts's only Top 20 hit but necessarily their best-known song. |
