QUOTE(Gezza76 @ Mar 21 2012, 06:48 PM)  188. I WANT YOU BACK- Cleopatra (142,000)  I liked all their singles when i was teenager. I remember that MTV played them very often (Especially Cleopatra's Theme). I still like their cover of "I Want You Back". I didn't know why they flopped so hard with their single "Come and Get Me" in 2000..? I think that it was a powerful pop song like Day & Night of Billie Piper.

180. I'LL STAND BY YOU- Girls Aloud (147,000)
 RELEASED: 2004 PEAK POSITION: 1 WKS ON CHART:7 After 5 attempts to get a second No 1 the biggest selling girl group of the noughties finally a secured it with this cover of the 1994 Pretenders track, all on of aid of chare-dee obviously. Only 7 weeks of its sales are eligible for this rundown, and it started out as a "weird modernist breakbeat version" before Xenomania disgarded it for a more traditional composition for CIN. |

an utterly atrocious cover of an all time classic
 even with terrible 2004 sales, that's quite low sales overall

Girls Aloud is my favourite pop group!! They have more than 20 singles and i love all of them. It's the only group that always makes my mood with their music. I always like girl bands because of their songs (Sugababes, Spice Girls,The Saturdays etc) but i think that Girls Aloud is the best by far. I'm a little bit disappointed because their hiatus but i believe that they will be huge again when they will release a new material. Their music improved album by album. Most of girl bands get worser and worser but not them.

I'll Stand By You is one of my favourite Girls Aloud efforts even if it is a cover. Funnily enough Jump is also one of my favs and that's a cover too..
Bit late but "I'll be Loving You Forever" by New Kids on the Block" absolutely love! When Boybands were exciting! This post has been edited by torresgirl: Mar 23 2012, 06:23 PM |

I don't mind Girls Aloud's version of I'll Stand By You. It feels quite warm and cosy (a nice way of saying bland, basically), and it does remind me of Xmas '04 more than most songs from that time too. Plus this is when I was most excited about them, probably partly due to age to be fair. Although I have and enjoy all of their albums, it was hard for me to be as excited as I was when I was 13 years old and got WWTNS? for Xmas that year.
How did Blue sell so much of Fly By II? Surprised it sold more than a #1 (Blazin' Squad) from the same year  Were sales that high - relative to the rest of the year, at least - when it was released? As for the song, it should have really been titled All Rise II, as it's a painfully weaker clone of their debut and best single.

"Fly By" was released at the time of Will Young/ Gareth Gates releases so probably benefitted from people going into stores who might not previously have bothered for a while or since. |

QUOTE(superbossanova @ Mar 17 2012, 11:19 PM) Vanilla - No Way No Way is of course a stone cold 90s classic. The entire lack of any kind of professionalism or PLANNING put into the whole thing is truly what makes it genius - like they literally walked out of the office and asked the first four girls they met if they wanted to make a group, told them to go home and fetch their swimwear and doll themselves up a bit then come back, while they dusted off an old keyboard from the cupboard to give them the ready-made backing track, stole from The Muppets of all things for the song's hook, then did the whole song and video that same day. And only in the late 1990s could it have actually become a hit - fabulous. I hope whoever was in charge of that project at least got a pay rise for his services to pop. !!!!!! You actually described in words what I love in "No Way No Way" but couldn't describe it by myself.  Brilliant commentary.

I do remember that same week George Michael started at #2 in the midweeks then fell to #7 by Sunday, so I guess in reality despite "only" peaking at #6, Fly By II also might not have been too far from being #2 or at least #3 that week (although George was one of those notoriously front-loaded artists, he was never usually that bad, so I'm assuming sales were tight - unfortunately I don't remember though). |

179. COVER GIRL- New Kids On The Block (148,700)
 RELEASED: 1990 PEAK POSITION: 4 WKS ON HCART: 8 A fourth top 10 hit in only 7 months, the NKOTB bandwagon rolled on in the summer of 1990. With a rare lead vocal by Donnie Wahlberg this was actually held off the top in America by the US’s new found love for Swedish pop (Roxette), they were actually formed by Maurice Starr back in 1985 as a white version of his new signings New Edition (featuring a very young Bobby Brown), and whilst their first album proved too saccharine for UK tastes a slightly more edgier production finally produced the fame he desired. |

178. HE AIN’T NO COMPETION- Brother Beyond (149,000)
 RELEASED: 1988 PEAK POSITION: 6 WKS ON CHART: 10 In addition to acts like Yell! and Big Fun, S/A/W also produced this lot! This was the second release that they produced for Nathan Moore et al, and gave them another top 10 hit in late 1988 but the associated didn’t last beyond one album “Get Even”. Marketed against Bros their fans were called “yondies” and in the smash hits heyday of the late 80s the fans regularly did battle over who was the best, naturally 12 months later all had moved onto NKOTB but it was fun while it lasted. They found it hard to shrug off the S/A/W label and a comeback in 1990 proved lacklustre causing a split, member Eg White has gone on to greater things as a songwriter penning chart toppers for Will Young and Diana Vickers as well as the recent top 10 hit for Rebecca Ferguson. |

177. SCANDALOUS- Mis-Teeq (150,000)
 RELEASED: 2003 PEAK POSITION: 2 WKS ON CHART: 11 Now perhaps just as recognisable for the Armani Code adverts as a chart hit the Mis-Teeq were always a joy to hear if only for Dixon’s raps. Yes before the solo career and then the judging role on Strictly Dixon’s little girl group were the UK answer to Destiny’s Child, this being one of two tracks they managed to place at No 2 on the charts, as near as they got. This track opened with sales of 50k (a personal record for them) but played second fiddle to a rampant Gareth Gates who was streets ahead in reality. |

"I get up in the morning and I see your face Girl"! Memories
I quite like the Mis-Teeq song. Brother Beyond such a weak and nothing band for me. This post has been edited by torresgirl: Mar 24 2012, 12:27 PM |
