I pointed that out earlier :lol: it would actually make a great #1 for that fact alone, as I can't remember any one else where a father and son had a #1 years apart and apparently Aaron Horn is also a record producer, and he owns a record company with his sister Alexandra Horn so there is a few connections there.

 

As for the record the track is awful but its beginning to grow on me. -_-

Just one that springs to mind is Chesney Hawkes who's dad was Chip who was in the Tremeloes who had a No 1 in 1966 I think with "Silence Is Golden" :D

Julio Iglesias and Enrique Iglesias have both had #1 hits on their own.

I hate these random dance tracks that become huge, I wouldn't have minded Avicii but this is AWFUL, reminds of that hideous Americano song ergh.

It used to happen most years in the 90s/early 00s but had died out until Americano!

I think Redfoo is Sky Blu's uncle or something like that, and they've both had a #1 (yes, I KNOW this is a silly example :lol:).

Julio Iglesias had hits in the UK? really? :blink:

Yes, including 2 number 1 singles in 1982.

 

Why the surprise?

Yup! 3 top 5 hits, including a #1. I think this is the most obvious example of a parent and child both having #1s in the UK, the rest will be fairly obscure examples that aren't instantly noticeable.

Probably because of how sleep inducing it was :lol: (well, Begin the Beguine anyway)

Also Frank and Nancy Sinatra for the record. They did it separately and as a duet.

I remember that it was 1981 it knocked Queen & David Bowie / Under Pressure off for a week, and the Human League followed it with Don't You Want Me :wub:

I don't really know :lol:

 

Because I've always thought the only spaniard (except Las Ketchup) who had a hit in the UK was her son and that the only places where he had hits were in South America and a couple of them in the US.

I can't help but laugh when I look back at songs that were #1 in the UK from years ago. That Julio Iglesias chart topper really is dreadful and I can't help but wonder why it was popular enough to be a #1 single. It's not like 'Bom Bom' or 'Loca People' which are like gimmicks rather than actual songs. 'Begin The Beguine' is just a really boring ballad put to a disco beat to camouflage it's dullness. :lol:

I'm loving how this thread has been completely derailed by Julio Iglesias. The i-tunes thread is unlike any other on Buzzjack you just NEVER know where it's gonna go! :D

Sak Noel (a Spanish DJ) had a #1 UK hit last year with the novelty European hit "Loca People" (although ironically, the song was not a hit in his native Spain! :lol: ).

 

DJ Sammy (another Spanish DJ) had a #1 with his cover of Bryan Adams' "Heaven" too.

Taylor seems to have stalled :wub:

So glad that Pound the Alarm is out of the top 10 again (and it's even more funny because Devlin, Angel and Trey Songz currently occupy the #8-#10 positions :lol:). I just have to hope now that it doesn't climb back in again. :drama:

 

On another note, Train are down to #82 now, so I think they'll never get top 40 with that song.

Just to confirm now that 'The Midsummer Station' is available, 'Good Time' is album only as was expected!

I really don't understand why it's been made album only. By doing so, it's not going to help sell the album - especially if most of the album tracks sound rubbish from the preview. :lol:

 

Another missed opportunity. :D 'Good Time' would've easily gone top 10 next Sunday from cherry pickings.
