Colour The World was like a poor attempt to recreate Dario G's Sunchyme.

Expected DJ Sakin to do a little better, but maybe it's quite forgotten.

Witch Doctor still never feels like as big a hit as it actually was! The days when the UK actually used to buy music like that...!

Not a bad result for Boyzone and Kele Le Roc, thought Blur would do a lot better!

Pleasingly high for Ace of Base, that song is so joyous (the first single I ever bought <3), it should be regarded as one of their classics but I expect most of the general public have forgotten it exists, if they even heard it in the first place.

Kicking off the top 10 is R&B group Honeyz with their second single 'End Of The Line'. It peaked at #5 in a run of five straight top 10 hits for the group.

In ninth are Irish band The Corrs with 'What Can I Do?' a track that surprisingly missed the top 40 altogether upon original release however following a remix re-entered some 5 months later to an eventual #3 peak.

Just in front are Dutch group & eternal party-bringers The Vengaboys with the aptly titled 'We Like To Party'. The track, also known as 'The Vengabus' became the band's second UK top 5 hit following 'Up & Down' and set the tone for what would be an incredibly successful year with 2 UK #1s thereafter. This particular track was the group's best performer in the US and I thank you all for rating it into the top 10 biggrin.gif

Lowest Rating: 2 (Jason)


Robbie Williams who, despite featuring on the most Now albums of any artist (including those with Take That), has yet to register a Now Rate victory and can't manage it here either as 'Strong' bows out in 7th. Taken from his hugely successful 'I've Been Expecting You' album the track peaked at #4 in March 1999 in a run of an incredible 21 consecutive top 10 singles.

The Cardigans, winners of 2 Now Rates, have to settle for 6th this time row with 'Erase/Rewind'. The song was taken as the 2nd single from album 'Gran Turismo' and managed to outpeak the lead track 'My Favourite Game' by breaking into the UK top 10 at #7. However it can't replicate MFG's Now Rate winner's medal which of course stands for so much more.

Finishing in fifth as a tribute track it's Dusty Springfield. 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me' was a UK #1 single in 1966, her only ever domestic chart-topper and following her passing in March 1999 was added to the Now 42 tracklist. The top 5 all managed an average score of above 8.

Lowest Rating: -1 (vibe)


Two previous winners take up positions third & fourth. Fatboy Slim, winner of the Now 43 Rate with 'Right Here, Right Now' falls a few places short with that's track predecessor. 'Praise You' remains however his only UK #1 single to date and features one of my all time favourite videos (I'm sure you all know it but if not definitely give it a watch!)

Spice Girls have won 2 Now Rates in total & now can add another top 3 finish to their mantlepiece. 'Goodbye', titled in reference to Geri Halliwell who had left the group prior, became their 8th UK #1 single out of 9 at the end of 1998, whilst also becoming their third straight Christmas #1, a feat only ever previously accomplished by The Beatles.

So we are left with Believe Vs. You Don't Know Me. Will it be a surprise win or go with the general consensus?

Why the f*** are the Corrs as low as 9? At the very least it's top 3 material.

To the surprise of absolutely no-one, Cher prevails in the Now 42 Rate tongue.gif

Finishing a very distant second but still with a superb average is Armand Van Helden. Sampling both Carrie Lucas' 'Dance With You' & Jaydee's 'Plastic Dreams', 'You Don't Know Me' entered straight at #1 in early 1999 and provided the American DJ with his first UK chart-topper. It wouldn't be until 10 years later when he added to that tally featuring on Dizzee Rascal's 'Bonkers'.

A grand slam win for Cher with the global smash 'Believe' becomes her first Now Rate victory. 'Believe', widely regarded as one of the greatest comeback singles ever spent a total of 7 weeks at #1 in the UK and became her first chart-topper in 7 years. The song also earned her a Guinness World Record as the oldest female soloist to top the Billboard 100 chart. A track considered somewhat ahead of its time, it drew criticism from the clear auto-tune usage throughout but nonetheless became a club staple and is in fact one of the best selling songs of all time worldwide. In this rate, it picked up only two scores below an 8 along with three 11's & nine 10's from nineteen voters so there really was only ever 1 winner here. Well done Cher!

Thanks to the 18 other participants in this rate, look out for the next one going up in due course.
