November 20, 201212 yr Author MAKE ME WANNA SCREAM- BLU CANTRELL http://www.12inch.de/l/37278.jpg PEAK POSITION: 24 SALES: 22K FOLLOW UP TO: BREATHE This made No 6 in Romania, that’s the good news. Not so good news however is that in reality it rather bombed here, but again it was a release delayed until December! Why Blu Cantrell? Anyway the song is pretty much same old same old, cheating boyfriend gets dumped etc, but by 2003 this kind of ground had been pretty exhaustively covered by Destiny’s Child on a bi-monthly basis.

November 20, 201212 yr Author MURDER SHE WROTE- CHAKA DEMUS & PLIERS http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xW4vtRJcQeA/TaMyBzexcdI/AAAAAAAACUc/5hZsohujGW4/s1600/murder%20she%20wrote.jpg PEAK POSITION: 27 SALES: 21K FOLLOW UP TO: TWIST AND SHOUT Whilst at home earlier this year I watched five episodes of “Murder She Wrote” back to back and quite enjoyed it- real zone out TV, reminded me of my childhood. As with all those kind of shows death rather seems to follow her around, I’d get suspicious If I were her, more importantly why does no-one think that IT IS HER?! Oh the song, yes it failed coz it’s dire. MORAL OF THE SONG: I THINK THIS ONE IS OBVIOUS. -av7F1JBmj4
November 20, 201212 yr Author ILLEGAL- SHAKIRA http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/84/Shakira_feat_carlos_santana-illegal_s.jpg PEAK POSITION: 34 SALES: 21K FOLLOW UP TO: HIPS DON'T LIE “You said you would love me until you die, as far as I know you’re still alive”- I like that kind of callous honesty but that’s about all this has going for it. After the inescapable “Hips Don’t Lie” this came and went before many of us could blink, we clearly love party Shakira, sad Shakira less so. MORAL OF THE STORY: THE COALITION HAS BIGGER FISH TO FRY THAN MAKING BREAKING A WOMAN’S HEART ILLEGAL. 2_K8Zns3s9A
November 20, 201212 yr MURDER SHE WROTE- CHAKA DEMUS & PLIERS http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xW4vtRJcQeA/TaMyBzexcdI/AAAAAAAACUc/5hZsohujGW4/s1600/murder%20she%20wrote.jpg I quite like this :unsure:
November 20, 201212 yr As mentioned, that Blu Catrell song was doomed. Shame as she had a big voice and potential. What she doing now? Chaka Demus and Pliers.....decent track but the regaee buzz was dying off in 1994. "Illegall" - This was a hit across Europe as "La Tortura" but her voice does grate A LOT in this track. Shame she sings shite with that tosser Pitbull.

Blu released a song on iTunes earlier this year and is apparently working on an album for release in 2013...The single went unnoticed and so will the album!
November 20, 201212 yr I love "Illegal". :heart: It was destined to flop in the UK no matter what, since radio avoided her like the plague.
November 21, 201212 yr I'm only on the second page at the moment but surely Owl City has to be the biggest flop with his follow-up to 'Fireflies'.
November 21, 201212 yr "Illegal" was # 1 in my personal charts and "Hips Don't Lie" didn't reach top 40. I like her ballads more, than dance tracks.
November 21, 201212 yr The Script's 'Six Degrees Of Separation' is looking like one of these at the moment, it could take off yet but only #81 thus far.
November 21, 201212 yr Author PAC’S LIFE- 2PAC http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a8/Pacs_Life_Single1.JPG PEAK POSITION: 21 SALES: 19K FOLLOW UP TO: GHETTO GOSPEL How a man can record MORE songs post death than he did when he was alive is beyond me but somehow 2Pac’s apparently managed it, I’m sure there at least 15 full albums still to be released over the next decade.

I’m going to give a couple of points for the title being so appalling and another couple for the evil video but detracting them all for the god awful song. This deserved to bomb on every level.

November 21, 201212 yr Author NO ORDINARY MORNING/ HALCYON- CHICANE http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f9/Halcyon66.jpg PEAK POSITION: 28 SALES: 19K FOLLOW UP TO: DON'T GIVE UP Of all the records on this list this has to be my favourite, moody, atmospheric, and bittersweet, turn of the millennium dance. Quite why the British public saw fit to glaze over this FANTASTIC track should still be deemed a pop injustice, I must regrettably reach the conclusion that it was simply too GREAT for the public conscious to digest much like early Van Gogh. MORAL OF THE STORY: GENIUS IS RARELY APPRECIATED AT THE TIME JKUIDQUTlMM
November 21, 201212 yr Does make you wonder if 2Pac isn't really dead. But that is another discussion. "Love them ho's" - Decent track but no "f*** It".
November 21, 201212 yr No Ordinary Morning is ten times the song that Don't Give Up was. Reminds me of Saint Etienne, absolutely gorgeous track.
