April 4, 201213 yr Author I know MCR are a big group, and I know "I'm Not OK" from them, but this song is in one ear out the other!
April 4, 201213 yr No way, I heard Black Parade on the radio recently and it still hangs around the itunes top 1000 so I'd say its pretty well remembered - certainly is to me :wub:
April 4, 201213 yr Author No way, I heard Black Parade on the radio recently and it still hangs around the itunes top 1000 so I'd say its pretty well remembered - certainly is to me :wub: I think it's one of those, that the public isn't that familiar with but popular with those into the rock scene so to speak.
April 4, 201213 yr When I think of #1s from 2006, MCR is one of the first I think of. I'm most certainly not a fan of MCR but I love the song and I think it is memorable because it was random, if that makes sense. It springs to mind before the likes of 'Maneater', 'Deja Vu', 'Sexyback' and 'It's Chico Time' anyway. While I still remember 'Beautiful Liar', I always forget it went to #1 - same with 'Everytime' by Britney Spears.
April 4, 201213 yr Chicane feat. Bryan Adams - Never Give Up Oxide & Neutrino - Bound 4 Da Reload (Casualty) Billie Piper - Day & Night A1 - Same Old Brand New You Rui Da Silva feat. Cassandra - Touch Me Hear'Say - The Way To Your Love Westlife - Queen Of My Heart S Club 7 - Have You Ever Westlife - Unbreakable Brian McFadden - Real To Me Ja Rule feat. R Kelly & Ashanti - Wonderful ^ the above number 1s all made number 1 in the 21st century and I can safely say I've never heard of them (or in some cases, only heard of when youtubed) - I'm not using myself as a barometer of whats memorable or not of course :P but you would've thought they would've made some impression, but I genuinely never even hear a mention of them today, so I would call them pretty 'unmemorable' in this sense (forgive me if these are actually still heard everywhere and I just can't put a name to it :kink: ) of course there are many from the 06 period onwards that are just as forgettable but I remember as I've been following charts since then, that god awful cover of Walk This Way by Girls Aloud & Sugababes and that Islands In The Stream single from 2009 spring to mind... How can you not of heard this genuine pop classic?! The Bryan Adams song is 'Don't Give Up' btw.
April 4, 201213 yr How can you not of heard this genuine pop classic?! The Bryan Adams song is 'Don't Give Up' btw. I can understand them not being able to recall that Hear'Say single but I have no idea how he hasn't heard 'Have You Ever' before? :o
April 4, 201213 yr I can understand them not being able to recall that Hear'Say single but I have no idea how he hasn't heard 'Have You Ever' before? :o The Way To Your Love is such a classic imo - by far the best thing they did.
April 4, 201213 yr If you're not a Manchester United fan, this is obviously an unmemorable #1. NjbdDc6jz9U Edited April 4, 201213 yr by N-S
April 4, 201213 yr Author If you're not a Manchester United, this is obviously an unmemorable #1. NjbdDc6jz9U I was thinking of this too. Going further back....I doubt many people remember this from 1982: DQIWAYUNlRw
April 4, 201213 yr The Way To Your Love is such a classic imo - by far the best thing they did. No way!! 'Everybody' was by far the best thing, and only decent thing, they did.
April 4, 201213 yr Author No way!! 'Everybody' was by far the best thing, and only decent thing, they did. I picked up their two albums for less than £2 back in 2003/4 (probably sold them at a car boot sale or lost them when I moved out LOL), and the only songs I liked off there where "The Way To Your Love" and an album track called "Suddenly" which was very in tune with Britney at that time!

April 4, 201213 yr "Stomp" was quite a random song for Steps to top the chart, especially since they only have other (and far more remembered) #1.
April 4, 201213 yr Agreed. I remember at the time thinking it was an anti-buy from people to stop Gareth Gates getting another week @ #1. Not really, it was a standard Oasis lead single with standard Oasis lead single sales. Opened with 110k, their previous lead had done 180k and the next one did 75k. And LOL at "Welcome to the Black Parade" being forgotten.
April 4, 201213 yr Author "Stomp" was quite a random song for Steps to top the chart, especially since they only have other (and far more remembered) #1. That's the only Steps song I don't know! Even some of their album tracks are memorable e.g "Love You More", "I Surrender" and "Buzz"
April 4, 201213 yr How can you not of heard this genuine pop classic?! The Bryan Adams song is 'Don't Give Up' btw. I had heard it once before through youtube (didn't leave much of an impression) but I'd never heard of anything else other than Pure & Simple by them beforehand I can understand them not being able to recall that Hear'Say single but I have no idea how he hasn't heard 'Have You Ever' before? :o Listening to it now, it does ring some bells, but I don't recall hearing it before - and I DEFINITELY wasn't unfamiliar with S Club as a child :lol:
April 4, 201213 yr 'Welcome to the Black Parade' is in a similar league to 'Rollin', 'In The End' and other songs by those sort of bands. It is ALWAYS ranked in Kerrang! countdowns etc and remembered ^_^ Nelly - My Place/Flap Your Wings I don't even remember how this goes and I pretty much know EVERY #1 single.
