Nothing that even remotely interests me this week :(.

Great for Twin Atlantic on the 1 Upfront List . Only exciting new additions this week for me is Chase and Status and Two Door Cinema Club.

A-list needs a clearing, far too many flops on it

 

Any retro year this week? Uber boring week.

 

 

Two Door Cinema Club re-releasing Something Good Can Work :D Hopefully it can at least be a second top 100 hit for them this time around now they seem to have a slightly higher profile

 

Nothing at all interesting aside from that. Flux Pavilion is unlikely to go higher than #63 but then again it was fantastic it even got that with almost no airplay - its heavy usage on Chris Moyles' marathon show was its main promotion but it seems to be somehow holding up on iTunes :o Hopefully it can have a decent chart run.

 

Always great to see C&S on there too but Time isn't a great single choice :( I was hoping for Hitz

Price Tag and Born This Way need to go.

2001?

 

Happy Now? I guess it is the official third single then, what a crap choice :lol:

Janet Jackson - 'All For You'

M&S pres. The Girl Next Door - 'Salsoul Nugget (If You Wanna)'

Madonna - 'What It Feels Like For A Girl'

Modjo - 'Chillin' I get the impression that this was supposed to do far better than #12? I actually like this a lot more than Lady personally.

Outkast - 'Ms Jackson'

Shaggy feat. Rik Rok - 'It Wasn't Me'

Sugababes - 'Run For Cover' The best single by some margin from 1.0 imo. I have to say, after Soul Sound, I thought they were over.

 

B-List

 

Architechs - 'Show Me The Money'

Bel Amour - 'Bel Amour'

Emma Bunton - 'What Took You So Long?'

Daft Punk - 'Aerodynamic' :wub:

Jason Downs feat. Milk - 'White Boy With A Feather' Forgotten all about this, pop-country/rap crossover - I liked it!

Gabrielle - 'Out Of Reach'

Hear'Say - 'Pure & Simple'

Kings Of Convenience - 'Toxic Girl'

Kosheen - '(Slip and Slide) Suicide'

Jennifer Lopez - 'Play' 10 years on and she's smashing it bigger than ever before!

Schiller - 'Das Glockenspiel'

Spooks - 'Karma Hotel'

Starsailor - 'Goodsouls' Quite melodic actually

 

C-List

 

* Black Eyed Peas feat. Macy Gray - 'Request Line' Before they were properly famous!

* The Corrs - 'Give Me A Reason' Ah, the days when The Corrs would be played on Radio 1, this was more 'Radio 2 friendly' than any of their other singles too! Any idea if Would You Be Happier got playlisted on Radio 1 later on in 2001 Dre? It was a lot poppier than this song.

Norman Bass - 'How U Like Bass?' This was pretty awful, but I do have it on single for some reason, must have been one I got for 1p in Asda :lol:

* Orbital - 'Funny Break (One's Enough)'

* Push - 'Strange World'

* S Club 7 - 'Don't Stop Movin'

* The Corrs - 'Give Me A Reason' Ah, the days when The Corrs would be played on Radio 1, this was more 'Radio 2 friendly' than any of their other singles too! Any idea if Would You Be Happier got playlisted on Radio 1 later on in 2001 Dre? It was a lot poppier than this song.

 

Its not in my archive but then its incomplete so I wouldnt know for sure. Got to say its by far my least fav Corrs single :lol: Awful song!

 

 

 

* Black Eyed Peas feat. Macy Gray - 'Request Line'

 

Wow! I wonder if they knew how big they'd be in 10 years time!! :o

 

A good playlist overall though. A decent amount of songs I know, and a few I love. Not as good as that one posted a few weeks ago though, from, was it 2003?

Request + Line is my favourite BEPs song :wub: So funky. Deserved way better than a miserable #31 it got. I have always liked Macy Gray though, and generally don't like Fergie at all, so I'm probably a bit biased on this one.

 

Most of that playlist is pretty lame looking back, though I liked much of it at the time. Surprisingly the ones I like the most now would probably be the ones with hip hop/hip hop influences like Gorillaz, Spooks, the aforementioned BEPs, Outkast, Missy, Eve. Most of those I didn't pay much attention to then, except I think Eve, who I for some reason loved to the point where I was very much anticipating finding out where that song got to on the charts that week.

 

Absolutely adore The Avalanches song, too, though my 10-year old self was much more attracted to the humour of Frontier Psychiatrist (which I also still love).

 

Kosheen - I liked them, too. Though their songs after this was better.

 

And I'm afraid a lot of the dance songs on this playlist have slipped my memory! Most of them were only minor hits, I seem to recall, though.

 

This playlist is right in a real lull for indie/rock, too, with very dull acts like Stereophonics, Coldplay, Starsailor, Toploader fronting the genre :( Starsailor were easily the better of those four, though, and the only ones I vaguely liked.

Still no TTWE? Maybe when the video comes out?

Maybe never?

Yeah it was a pretty crap playlist in terms of dance but that M&S, Architechs and Push tunes were awesome, definitely 3 of the best that year :)

Its not in my archive but then its incomplete so I wouldnt know for sure. Got to say its by far my least fav Corrs single :lol: Awful song!

 

I loved it way more than any of the In Blue singles, although the video was a bit 'try-hard'! However, I can see why they soon pretended that it never existed - it was far more 'bubblegum pop' than they were known for and probably completely alienated most of their target audience. I wouldn't have been surprised if Radio 1 did ignore it, it probably did well to get as high as #14 :lol: I guess every act has a 'career disaster' moment to be swept under the rug forever more, this was theirs.

Yay for Nicki and LMFAO :wub:

I loved the In Blue singles, especially "Irresistible", reminds me of MTV Europe at the time. I liked the special effects in that song.

 

Radio 1 probably did ignore it, Radio 2 definitely didnt as I have their playlist from 26th November 2001

 

Good to see Sleigh Bells on there again, and Aloe Blacc too. Please be a huge hit!

I cant believe I Need A Dollar is only gonna be released in the UK now :mellow:
