June 3, 201312 yr Until this thread I didn't realise a-ha had released so many hit singles :lol: I've only heard the 2 most obvious a-ha hits, Take On Me and The Sun Always Shines On T.V - but both are brilliant!
June 3, 201312 yr Hunting High and Low is probably my fave Aha track, so good to see it fairly high up in the countdown considering its peak.
June 4, 201312 yr Author 52. IN THE SHADOWS- The Rasmus (194,000) http://991.com/newGallery/The-Rasmus-In-The-Shadows-282727.jpg YEAR: 2004 PEAK POSITION: 3 WKS ON CHART: 16 A song with 3 different videos to promote it (European/ US/ and UK) the Rasmus were going to be the next big thing for about 5 minutes in 2004. Again the UK was slow on the uptake this becoming a hit all over Europe in 2003, the band actually reaching their 5th album by the time UK success came along. SWE: 2 FIN: 1 DEN: 6 CtR-i_cxaHg
June 4, 201312 yr Author 51. JOYRIDE- Roxette (194,000) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0f/Joyride_(single).jpg YEAR: 1991 PEAK POSITION: 4 WKS ON CHART: 10 Much like George Michael who got the inspiration for “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” from a note left on his fridge by Ridgeley, so to for Gessle who got the line “Hello You Fool I love You” from a note left by his girlfriend. That turned into “Joyride” which became their last top 5 hit here and a final No 1 in the US. SWE: 1 NOR: 1 xCorJG9mubk

June 4, 201312 yr Love "Joyride", but god that video is the creme de la creme of crap early '90s videos. "In The Shadows" was fun at the time of release, though I don't think much of it now.
June 4, 201312 yr 52. IN THE SHADOWS- The Rasmus (194,000) I liked this song a lot at the time. Not so much now it must be said My top 10 from this thread so far: 01.

June 4, 201312 yr Great chart so far :yahoo: I've got my own little three-way chart battle (assuming all three of these songs made the top 50). Which of these songs will have the most sales?

June 5, 201312 yr How could anyone say St Loreen is their worst song on their list??? If they don't like it. :blink:
June 5, 201312 yr Could someone explain me how a person thinks that Collide is a bad song (When it has superb vocals) when he listens Aqua..I can't laugh because it freaks me out..
June 5, 201312 yr Author 50. ANOTHER DAY- Whigfield (197,000) http://991.com/newGallery/Whigfield-Another-Day-178241.jpg YEAR: 1994 PEAK POSITION: 7 WKS ON CHART: 10 Pitched by some as a contender for the Christmas No 1 spot in 1994 this was of course the follow up to “Saturday Night” and is pretty much a re-run of that song. It does have the honour of being an early example of the song writing skills of late 90s popstar Ann Lee, her of “2 Times” fame. SWE: 39 NOR: 9 mFMVzSFCFLE
June 5, 201312 yr Author 49. LITTLE TALKS- Of Monsters And Men (201,800) http://static.universal-music-services.de/asset_new/271326/878/view/Cover-Little-Talks.jpg YEAR: 2012 PEAK POSITION: 12 WKS ON CHART: 16 The newest name in Scandipop, Of Monsters and Men broke through here last year with the album “My Head Is An Animal” and this track which was already well within the top 100 in the US by the time it was a hit here. The band only formed in 2010 and won Iceland’s “battle of the bands” competition “Musiktilraunir” that same year on the road to success. SWE: 21 kWRf09i6Z_s
June 5, 201312 yr Author 48. GOT TO GET- Rob N Raz Featuring Leila K (202,000) http://991.com/newGallery/Rob-N-Raz-Got-To-Get-187182.jpg YEAR: 1989 PEAK POSITION: 8 WKS ON CHART: 14 Discovered in a music contest Leila K was offered the chance of rapping on this Rob N Raz track in late 1989 and proved an unexpected hit as Christmas approached. Featuring a sample of Sheila E’s “Love Bizarre” to assist in making it a hit, it finally went top 10 in the new year shakedown in January 1990. SWE: 10 NOR: 4 xmSKk4BVtZc
June 5, 201312 yr Haha, "Got To Get It" is cute. :lol: For some reason, I never knew it was a UK hit. :D "Another Day" and "Little Talks" are both good. Hopefully we'll see Whigfield's "Think Of You" soon. :cheer:
