February 13, 201115 yr A good song, but Hips Don't Lie >>>>>>>>>>>>>> ... >>>>>>> ... >>>>>>>>>> Whenever Wherever Hmmm, both are great but I prefer WW. Her best is "Estoy Aqui" though, not a UK single back in the late 90s.
February 13, 201115 yr Author We've already had 3 pages of pre-chart talk, could be? How long were the other 'big threads' The Xmas 09 thread was the longest (nearly 50 pages!)
February 13, 201115 yr I recently compiled a pop playlist from 2002, definitely one of the best years for the genre. Every song sounds different to the other, which is good. The videos were all pretty decent too.
February 13, 201115 yr A lot of talk already. So, where will Gaga be? Most certainly not #1, but maybe top 5?
February 13, 201115 yr The Xmas 09 thread was the longest (nearly 50 pages!) :o what was the big subject that caused such a big conversation?
February 13, 201115 yr The Xmas 09 thread was the longest (nearly 50 pages!) That's when it was Rage vs. Joe, right? No wonder it had 50 pages. Edited February 13, 201115 yr by its.like.that
February 13, 201115 yr One of the biggest chart injustices ever as far as #1/#2 is concerned is when Underworld's Born Slippy was kept at #2 by Fugees - Killing Me Softly. I appreciate the latter is probably still remembered better by the public but Born Slippy would have been such an AMAZING #1, almost on the level of Firestarter and Breathe, it's just not the sort of song you'd expect to be a UK #1. I wouldn't even be annoyed if it got to #3 or whatever but it just annoys me so much it's forever demoted to #2 status. KMS had 4 more (non-consecutive) weeks at #1 after that, couldn't it have let Underworld have that 1 week? :( :wub: Born Slippy - what a song. Really should have been number one, "Killing Me Softly" I find awful. I love it when dance songs you'd think would never reach number one get there (e.g Put Your Hands Up For Detroit, We No Speak Americano, 9PM Till I Come etc.) And 'Firestarter' is a very good song, it doesn't sound like it ever went to no.1. It doesn't even sound like most dance songs at the time, it had its own genre Edited February 13, 201115 yr by danielGaGa
February 13, 201115 yr Author :o what was the big subject that caused such a big conversation? Rage Against The Machine vs Joe McElderry.

February 13, 201115 yr That's when it was Rage vs. Joe, right? No wonder it had 50 pages. It also broke the record for most members ever on the site :D
February 13, 201115 yr I hated both Born Slippy and Firestarter. I did like Breathe though, oddly enough. Pffft. You are definitely referring to the same 'Breathe', right? (The Prodigy, not that $h!te Blu Cantrell song of the same name) Breathe was #1 when I was born. Epic.

February 13, 201115 yr Lady GaGa is only outselling Jessie J by around 2 to 1 on I tunes, so I don't she will be number 1. I would guess no 3 or 4.
February 13, 201115 yr Rage vs. Joe wasn't 50 pages, was it?!? :o I did a search through all of them the other day, and the longest I found were Lady Gaga vs. The Noisettes and Lady Gaga vs. Tinie Tempah, both on 46 pages, I think. Unless it had a different title, in which case it wouldn't have come up in the search? Also, this thread might not be so long thanks to the spoiler. Chances are people could work out what's #1 a bit before the end of the show, especially if we're given clues about the movement of the songs in the chart at the beginning.

February 13, 201115 yr It also broke the record for most members ever on the site :D Did it? How many posters were online at the time? 1000? 2000?
February 13, 201115 yr Modestep, Lethal Bizzle and Neon Trees all went top 40 :D Eric Prydz missed out though :( They only played 6 new entries - they might have missed one out? Possibly Jeremih? Or maybe there's a re-entry I'm forgetting. Edited February 13, 201115 yr by Bray
