lol at roll deep. I've never heard of that Right Said Fred song before, i must have been a baby when it came out.

 

I loved Brimful Of Asha when i was a kid.

Nope, it was out the week before the album

 

The style of music Roll Deep were releasing was very popular at the time. Not so much the case now, where they flop with pretty much every release :lol:

Joinwithus, is that you?! :lol:

 

I just find it weird that happened with "Good Times".....what became of Jodie O'connor?

Take Control basically sounds like a combination of Good Times and Green Light (and those two songs weren't particularly different in the first place).

 

To be honest though, Roll deep have been around for 10 years now. And they've only had 2 massive chart hits (and some smaller hits, and lots of flops/songs they don't bother trying to make into hits). I don't think they care that much about having lots of hits, I'm sure they make enough money from drug dealing or whatever. :lol:

 

I wasn't expecting to see The Flood here! :o Mainly because it never occured to me that it followed a #1. :lol:

LOL Eric! The one with the top-knot looks like a dealer/pimp :D

Well, it's much poppier than most of their songs (they usually do grime, which is slightly faster, more drums, less singing and more rapping, and more intricate melodies). And also they signed a major record deal in 2009, so they got more promotion for their songs than they usually get. It's the same why Wiley's randomly had a couple of massive hits when his songs usually chart at #150 or whatever, because he signed a new record deal with a major recently.

 

They're constantly releasing amazing tunes though. And they've always been well-known because a lot of rappers from the group like Dizzee, Tinchy, Skepta, Wiley have ended up quite famous with their solo careers.

:D The only reason i mentioned Joinwithus is because he made a VERY similar comment few months back, lol:

 

"Good Times" funny that was #1 the week that shower of shit were elected.....if only people knew what they were really like.

 

And you mean Jodie Connor? I recall her having a solo career that went nowhere. That's about it, really

 

You've lost me! :P

 

The Flood was released 3 years after What A Wonderful World was released! ^_^

I thought it was released in 2010? I recall MusicWeek saying Katie Melua's The Flood was the first song called The Flood to chart, and Cheryl and Take That's versions charted within six months of Katie Melua's.

I think you've missed my point.

 

What A Wonderful World was released in 2007 and The Flood was released in 2010.

2010 was deffo the year of Floods :lol:

 

What year was Jodie in Idol?

Oh right, I always thought it was released in 2003! :P

Jodie Connor had a #14 hit with 'Now Or Never' (feat. Wiley) and a #37 hit with 'Bring It' (feat. Tinchy Stryder) and has faded into obscurity since.

2010 was deffo the year of Floods :lol:

The same year as Michelle McManus. :drama:

 

She talks about it here after 3:15 (she's sooooooooo cute :heart:).

 

I believe Katie Melua released in single at the start of 2008 (If The Lights Go Out), which charted at #96, so I believe that should be considered the follow-up to What A Wonderful World.

 

A great thread BTW (if I haven't said it already)!

OMG you're right! There may be other ones to come where I've got it wrong but I tried! :( I'll leave "The Flood" in just coz it's amazing!
