Sash! :wub:

 

Thinking about the Pepsi Chart / Hit 40 UK, I bet XTM's chart run looked ridiculous too as it kept returning to the top ten and can't have had much airplay on stations that weren't Radio 1 (I can't even recall if they played it, probably not seeing as it was a cover of a Eurovision winner).

Armand Van Helden ‘You Don’t Know Me’ ~ classic anthem! :wub:

DJ Jean ‘The Launch’ ~ :music: :heart-old:

Livin’ Joy ‘Dreamer’ ~ immense all-time classic! :wub:

Alex Party ‘Don’t Give Me Your Life’ ~ :heart:

The Vengaboys ‘Up & Down’ ~ guilty pleasure! :lol:

The Vengaboys ‘We’re Going To Ibiza’ ~ as above :lol:

Corona ‘Rhythm Of The Night’ ~ love it! :wub:

Sash! ‘Stay’~ lush <3, so unlucky to keep coming up against million sellers!

Real 2 Real ‘I Like To Move It’ ~ :cheer:

Sash! ‘Ecuador’ ~ my fave Sash! track! :wub:

Three decent songs there. Stay is the pick of the bunch.

Love the two Sash songs there. I still listen to his GH album a lot now as it's so amazing! :D

The two Sash! songs are tops! :heart: :wub:

35. THE POWER- Snap! (422,000)

 

http://i61.tinypic.com/kb3er9.jpg

 

YEAR: 1990

PEAK POSITION: 1

 

Snap!’s debut single and a No 1 to boot, this is essentially a collage of Chilli Rob G’s “Let Your Words Flow” and Jocelyn Brown’s “Love’s Gonna Get You”. In sampling the Brown track it actually enabled her to chart the single (which flopped in 1985) on one top 10 hit a year 1990-1992, the others being Moby’s “Go” in 91 and Bizarre Inc’s “I’m gonna get you” in 92.

 

Thought this sold a lot more :o Still sounds good nowadays though

34.LET ME BE YOUR FANTASY- Baby D (423,000)

YEAR: 1994

PEAK POSITION: 1

 

Topping the dance chart in 1992 which translated into No 77 on the charts it was remixed for the 1994 charts after two minor hits for the outfit which both failed to make the top 60. It was remade garage style in 2000 when it made No 16 and remains by some stretch their biggest hit.

 

33. MR VAIN- Culture Beat (433,000)

YEAR: 1993

PEAK POSITION: 1

 

Formed in 1989 the band had various incarnations before “Mr Vain” came to be in early 1993 which went on to become a No 1 in 11 countries over that summer before its UK release. It became notable for being the first No 1 not to be available on 7” since the 1950s and spent 8 weeks atop the German charts.

 

Wow, the #1's are just flying by now! All well deserved classics, though I don't think the Baby D song gets as much recurrent play these days. :(

Love the last 3 songs :wub:

3 massive dance songs in a row there. :D It's amazing that so many 90's dance anthems that are still remembered today.

I still don't get why 'Mr. Vain' was such a huge hit when it clearly ripped off 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' from the previous year. (hopefully that song is still to come!)

 

Yay for 'The Power'!

Let Me Be Your Fantasy is the most f*** OFF AMAZING SONG ever

Does the Nomad song featured earlier in this countdown also sample this song?

That's exactly why it was a hit.

It's shocking that we're gonna have to tolerate so much shite from 1999 (not that it was all bad in 1999) outselling these classics.

YEAR: 1993

PEAK POSITION: 2

 

Another track which was No 1 practically in every country in Europe it again just missed out here thanks to Gabrielle. It was the first of 4 top 10 hits from the Trinidadian and got a second wind thanks to use in the film “A Night At The Roxbury”.

 

31.BELLISSIMA- DJ Quicksilver (437,000)

YEAR: 1997

PEAK POSITION: 4

 

Released in many countries as a double A-Side with the Martin Luther King sampling “I Have A Dream” it was decided (not too sure why) that the UK didn’t need that gem to sell this. Well they were right, this was one of two top 10 hits for the Turkish DJ who disappeared as quickly as he arrived.

 

30. TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME- Bobby Brown (451,000)

YEAR: 1995

PEAK POSITION: 3

 

Originally a track on his 1992 album “Bobby” quite why this was plucked as a single in 1994 remains a mystery but it only made No 38 so obviously not impressing the British public at the time. Remixed by K-Klass in 1995 however and it was a different matter when it smashed into the top 3 and ended up giving him his biggest seller ever.
