March 6, 201115 yr Yeah, it's a good point that sales where high at that point. It's just that I don't really remember everything from back then. I remember loving the song, and it being popular, but I would've thought to get such high sales there would've had to be some controversy around it, or it would've had to become some sort of cultural joke, or I don't know. :lol: Like the recent massive-sellers, Fight For This Love, Just the Way You Are, Love the Way You Lie, Poker Face, When We Collide, etc. I can explain those. They're not just good songs, but they have, I dunno, like that "special thing" about them. Like Cheryl Cole was probably the most adored person in the UK at the time, Just the Way You Are made teenage girls cry every time they heard it, When We Collide was an X Factor winners single, Poker Face was during that Lady Gaga explosion, and was full of innuendo which everybody found amusing, and so on. But I can't really remember what cultural impact the song had. Was there any lines from it which everybody got obsessed with or something?
March 6, 201115 yr Chico :( GOOD GOD. On a different note, I am listening to S Club 7's Reach! :lol: Excellent song :cheer: Shame it only made number 2 in the charts... I thought for ages it was a number one :lol:

Yes, its damn catchy - plus it spread like the measles everywhere at the time and before it was released and it was in the top 5 for ages. It has a great hook (the Rikrok bit) plus a catchphrase!
March 6, 201115 yr Author Excellent song :cheer: Shame it only made number 2 in the charts... I thought for ages it was a number one :lol: Kept off for 3 weeks by Sonique :o

March 6, 201115 yr Kept off for 3 weeks by Sonique :o Oh then that is fine, that is a good song. But which song is remembered more ey? :dance:
March 6, 201115 yr Author Oh then that is fine, that is a good song. But which song is remembered more ey? :dance: Both tbf - 2 great songs released at the same time :(
March 6, 201115 yr Both tbf - 2 great songs released at the same time :( I think Reach is remembered more. But yes, both amazing songs - I love "Sky" as well. Now that's a tune :wub:
March 6, 201115 yr Author I think Reach is remembered more. But yes, both amazing songs - I love "Sky" as well. Now that's a tune :wub: Yeah! I think Don't Stop Movin' is better known for S Club though! Opinions btw, everyone, on adding a 15 years ago for the retro?
March 6, 201115 yr Author What is Sonique up to these days?! She had cancer last year but is on the road to recovery.
March 6, 201115 yr Yeah! I think Don't Stop Movin' is better known for S Club though! Opinions btw, everyone, on adding a 15 years ago for the retro? Oooooh do do it! :cheer: 1996 would be the year wouldn't it?
March 6, 201115 yr Hopefully Britney sneaked in with 'Till The World Ends'. Deserves to be a bigger hit than HIAM.
March 6, 201115 yr Opinions btw, everyone, on adding a 15 years ago for the retro? yeah, that sounds OK :D
March 6, 201115 yr Author Oooooh do do it! :cheer: 1996 would be the year wouldn't it? Yep, will start next week then! We need a bit of 90s :wub:
March 6, 201115 yr Hopefully Britney sneaked in with 'Till The World Ends'. Deserves to be a bigger hit than HIAM. She'll be lucky to go top 75, IIRC Boys And Girls did about the same as what TTWE is doing after a Friday release and she entered at #73.
March 6, 201115 yr Hopefully Britney sneaked in with 'Till The World Ends'. Deserves to be a bigger hit than HIAM. Agreed actually, much better song. But I'm not sure if it will chart today or not.
March 6, 201115 yr a year since Pass Out :o I hated it at the time, absolutely love it now :D Same! Looking forward to the charts today, hope Foos haven't dropped too much from the mids :(
March 6, 201115 yr 4 (Breakage, Foo Fighters, Jessie J - WYA, The Hype Squad) I missed the beginning. Did he confirm those are the new entries (like did he do that thing where he plays clips of the songs?).
