quite a $h!te year for number 2s- not a lot of those have stood the test of time

 

Edit: forgot about Why Dont You Get A Job, great song :wub: :wub: :wub:

Edited by chart wizard

Why Don't You Get A Job :wub:

 

My Name Is is also brilliant, and Tender deserved to stay at #1 for about two months...

'better off alone', possibly my favourite song ever. :wub:

TOP TEN:

1. Blur - Tender

2. Geri Halliwell - Look At Me

3. Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now

4. Terrorvision - Tequilla

5. Madonna - Beautiful Stranger

6. R Kelly - If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time

7. Eminem - My Name Is

8. DJ Jurgen Presents Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone

9. Tin Tin Out Featuring Emma Bunton - What I Am

10. Artful Dodger Featuring Craig David - Re-Rewind The Crowd Say Bo Selecta

 

Love them all :)

 

Out of those, 'Tender' definitely could have been #1 but was unlucky enough to be up against the Britney juggernaut :( 'Look At Me' lost out by a whisker to a completely forgettable Boyzone song, but in retrospect the #3 that week (Shania Twain) probably deserved it more! 'Right Here Right Now' should have been his #1 instead of 'Praise You' as it's miles better. 'Tequila' lost to Offspring which was just massive so I can't really say it should have been #1 but it's much better than the Offspring anyway. And it's a shame that 'Beautiful Stranger' lost out considering the $h!t she's hit the top with since - but I did like S Club 7 far more at the time and even bought that on single, so :D

 

A good group of #2s, but Will Smith brings it down with two terrible songs. I'll pass on Another Level (though it was better than the crappy 911 cover that beat it to #1 :/), Wiseguys, The Offspring and DJ Jean too. Also two of the worst singles from Five and Steps...

 

Out of interest, US #2s that year:

Whitney Houston featuring Faith Evans and Kelly Price - Heartbreak Hotel

Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me

K-Ci & JoJo - Tell Me It's Real

Ricky Martin - She's All I Ever Had

'N Sync & Gloria Estefan - Music Of My Heart

Puff Daddy - Satisfy You

Brian McKnight - Back At One

 

The majority of that group did nothing here :lol: Ah, the days when Europe had way more influence on our music scene than the US! That said, Brian McKnight and K-Ci & JoJo deserved to do well. Both are in with a massive string of R&B singers/groups that had US success in the late 90s but failed to take off here - Deborah Cox, Divine, Next, Changing Faces, Montell Jordan, Keith Sweat etc.

Better Off Alone is the pick of the bunch there.

 

 

Some of those #2s are absolute DIRE, even casting the overload of novelty $h!te (Cartoons, Ann Lee, Steps) aside. I can honestly hand-on-heart say "Re-Rewind" is one of my most HATED songs of all time.

Re-Rewind is amazing :wub: I actually just listened to it again after ranking earlier and I think I put it a bit low. I always do things like this!

 

And as much as you may hate it, you can't deny that it's the most relevant song on this entire list today. Huge influence, as funny as it sounds admitting that Craig David was actually instrumental in the evolution of British music :D

You're not a member of the Tory gov't, by any chance? :w00t:
