This takes me back. We still had our old Sky box with the German channels and I thought VIVA was excellent back then.

 

I did find out a couple of years later that 'Anton Aus Tirol' had been on the German charts for a few months before finally topping the chart. :o

 

Songs I knew and loved:

 

2 1 Maria Maria Santana

 

Much better than 'Smooth'. Who would've expected Santana to have such a massive comeback in 1999. Quite a few "aging" artists were doing well this year; Cher, Santana, Tom Jones - and to a lesser extent Cliff Richard. :lol:

7 7 Desert Rose Sting Feat. Cheb Mami :o Who knew Sting would go all oriental on us :P

8 13 Bongo Bong Manu Chao :D Hah! This was one of those weird songs to be huge in Europe, they would do it again with "Me Gustas Tu"

1 2 Anton aus Tirol Anton Feat. DJ Ötzi Never heard this...do I dare?

2 1 Maria Maria Santana

3 4 Shalala Lala Vengaboys

4 5 Bla Bla Bla Gigi D'Agostino Probably my most regretted personal chart #1 ever, dropped from #1 straight out of the chart (which was a top 30 at the time) :mellow: I went from loving it to finding it dire within the space of a week. Now I'm somewhere in the middle! L'amour Toujours on the other hand peaked at #4 for me but hung around for months, would have been a better #1!

35 48 Too Much Of Heaven Eiffel 65 Wish this had got a UK release, I managed to get it on import but still! Why did they give up on the UK after two top three hits? Another personal chart topper

36 32 I Wanna Love You Forever Jessica Simpson

38 38 Do What You Like French Affair

39 36 Ex-Girlfriend No Doubt

40 NE Eternal Flame Rollergirl Never heard her cover of this - Dear Jessie topped my personal chart though

1 2 Anton aus Tirol Anton Feat. DJ Ötzi Never heard this...do I dare?

 

Probably not but here it is anyways. :lol:

 

Wow :mellow:

 

If I'd watched that video in 2000, I'd have bet my house that that fool wouldn't go on to have a UK #1 the following year :lol: Poor Santana, the indignity of being ousted from #1 by that!

Quite a lot of repetitive song titles in the top 20 :lol:

 

My personal top 20 in that week:

 

1 Melanie C - Never Be The Same Again

2 DJ Ötzi - Anton aus Tirol :kink:

3 Vengaboys - Shalala Lala

4 Santana - Maria Maria

5 Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler

6 Mabel - Disco Disco

7 Blink 182 - All The Small Things

8 Die 3. Generation - Leb!

9 Die Toten Hosen - Bayern

10 Sisqo - Thong Song

11 Brian McKnight - Back At One

12 All Saints - Pure Shores

13 Gabrielle - Rise

14 Paffendorf - Where Are You

15 Zlatko - Ich vermiss dich :kink:

16 Scoop - Drop It

17 Gigi D'Agostino - Bla Bla Bla

18 Abel - Onderweg

19 Destiny's Child - Say My Name

20 Madonna - American Pie

Edited by AshDeluxe

Quite a lot of repetitive song titles in the top 20 :lol:

 

My personal top 20 in that week:

 

5 Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler

 

I assume this entered the German charts a couple of weeks later? I thought 'Freestyler' was excellent at the time. :lol: Surely Europe's biggest hit of 2000 - it seemed to be #1 in loads of countries throughout the year.

Not a great chart IMO, though I'm probably too British to enjoy some of these Eurohits :D Most of the best songs are outside the top 40, including some really good R&B/hip hop...

*Months after

 

This is a chart from April (I guess) 2000, Bring It All Back came out in June 1999 in the UK.

Excuse me but... :rofl: at me

 

No idea what I was thinking when writing that. For some reason I had this as a 1999 chart in my head even though I knew most of the songs are from 2000 :wacko:

 

And Freestyler was quite ridiculous. Especially the random guitar in the intro (which I think was cut off the UK radio edit? I don't remember it from the time so I was quite surprised to 'discover' it a few years later) which sounded just bizarre on that type of song. Sounded very cool back then though and a unique hit at least :D

I assume this entered the German charts a couple of weeks later? I thought 'Freestyler' was excellent at the time. :lol: Surely Europe's biggest hit of 2000 - it seemed to be #1 in loads of countries throughout the year.

 

Yep, I already knew it from the Dutch chart at that time... I always listened to their chart show back then. ^_^
