Continuing on...

 

40 - Whigfield "Saturday Night" (1994) (+19)

 

The 90s equivalent to Rebecca Black "Friday" lands in at 40. The follow up "Another Day" peaked at 7.

Do not TAINT Saturday Night with that comparison. :mellow:

39 - The Spice Girls "Mama/Who Do You Think You Are" (1997) (+20)

 

The fourth number one out of nine for the Spice Girls is a double A-Side, but "Who Do You Think You Are" is remembered more as it is a great pop-house crossover classic! The Girls' "Viva Forever" and "2 Become 1" are yet to chart

how dare you even compare Whigfield with that crap! :arrr: :P

 

Saturday Night was a great if cheesy dance pop song and she had a very good voice

Lyrically "Friday" and "Saturday Night" are similar (apart from "gotta have my bowl gotta have cereal" "which seat should i take" and "yesterday was thursday etc." - but yes in terms of voice:

38 - The Shamen "Ebeneezer Goode" (1992) (+20)

 

Yes it tied with the Spice Girls but this had more individual points. The 'men had a good career with 5 top 10 singles, this being their third

37 - The Fugees "Killing Me Softly" (1996) (+29)

 

The first of four top 3 hits and 2 number ones is this. The song did a SLY-type run, just without the big jump as it debuted at the top. It spent 4 weeks at number one, dropped to 2, spent another week at 1 and another 3 weeks at 2.

36 - Ace of Base "All That She Wants" (1993) (+31)

 

The debut single by Ace of Base is at 36, they seemed like a one-hit wonder after this with two flop singles until they released "The Sign" about nine months after ATSW and peaked at 2

35 - Culture Beat "Mr. Vain" (1993) (+32)

 

The "Rhythym is a Dancer" soundalike managed to make its way to number one for four weeks and onto here. It's not that bad actually - but the original is the best - Snap! is still to come.

34 - Babylon Zoo "Spaceman" (1996) (+33)

 

A one hit wonder from Babylon Zoo here and the fifth wildcard to chart as yet. The follow up peaked at 17

 

 

Do not TAINT Saturday Night with that comparison. :mellow:

 

Isn't it just. :lol:

 

Fair enough, some posters will regard Whigfield as pop fluff but it's a much better song than that 'Friday' thing.

33 - Englandneworder "World in Motion" (1990) (+36)

The only football song in the top 50 is this by New Order who re-named themselves for this song

32 - Olive "Your Not Alone" (1997) (+37)

A dance group who named themselves after a fruit and an oil get themselves a number one hit. Tinchy Stryder used this as a sample for his song of the same name not so long ago.

 

38 - The Shamen "Ebeneezer Goode" (1992) (+20)

 

Yes it tied with the Spice Girls but this had more individual points. The 'men had a good career with 5 top 10 singles, this being their third

 

How did this song get banned anyway from the chart?

I can't see anything wrong with this song

31 - Baby D "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" (1994) (+40)

 

Another 90s dance song here, this time from singer Baby D who stayed at number one for 2 weeks with this song. The follow up went to 3.

 

 

 

++++++

 

That's it for tonight. Predict who will be 30-21, and who you think will take the top spot - no competition the predicting is just for fun (of course I won't predict as I know all)

It was released during the time where ecstacy became mainstream popular...
