If someone edits a quote before posting his comment to it, there won't be any "This post has been edited" line ;)

I think I saw the post before the change and I'm sure it was quoted correctly, should have mentioned before!

Go Three Lions, the only English football song I'd probably listen to out of choice, even outside of football season, it's just a great pop song!. I always preferred 3 Lions '98 though, it packs a bit more of an emphatic punch for me.

 

edit: forgot about We're On The Ball, what a classic *.*

 

Looking back, how on EARTH did 442 get a No.2 hit with Come On England in 2004, it was a completely anonymous cheap sounding cover by a group of nobodies! I guess in football season the public just latch onto something and run with it :lol:

I asked this earlier in the week but does anyone have the chart history or iTunes history of 3 Lions from the rises during other major tournament since their first chart runs?

This should be useful:

Most shocking of all is the record below it - Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, which hit #1 in pretty much every other European country but got held at #3 by Mario Winans and, erm, Come On England. O-Zone did at least spend a long time in the top 10 for the time though so almost certainly sold way more in the long run.

 

Remember it was 2004, a time when plummeting CD sales meant any old nonsense could chart high on a few thousand sales.

Of course Dragostea Din Tei would have sold more. :lol:

 

Realistically, there are always going to be some countries where a song misses #1, even the biggest sellers. There's probably somewhere where songs like Happy or Hips Don't Lie missed #1.

'Noble England' was just played on the England match coverage :D

Did you change liamk's quote to 'Lesbian!' for some reason or was this the work of some unknown moderator (not me this time, I only edit Joseph's posts for lolz)? :unsure: Whoever it was can we not do this plz.

 

:lol: Nah def wasn't me - think it was meant to be Kasabian but the iPhone changed it :lol:

 

Sorry Liam wasn't trying to offend!
