2nd Highest Hit: You Get What You Give (#30)

 

 

Commentary: I never used to be massive on this song. I used to find it ok but nothing special. It's sounds good listening to it now but I'm still not a huge fan.

Rating: 7/10

Peak: 13

Chart Run: 13-22-31-38-45-61-74 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Too Hot (#49)

Chart Run: 11-12-17-24-30-43-60-(x)-73-84 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Radiation Vibe (#32)

 

 

Commentary: This has become a bit of a classic. It shouldn't work but it just does. I can't imagine I'd like any of Fountains Of Wayne's other songs though.

Commentary: I didn't think I knew this one until I put it on and all the memories came flooding back. This sounds incredibly dated but I have a soft spot for it.

Narcotic Thrust - I Like It

 

Peak: 09

Chart Run: 9-14-16-19-34-50 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Safe From Harm (#24)

 

 

Commentary: Another song I didn't think I knew. It's alright but not one I'd listen to out of choice.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

 

Eamon - F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-1-1-1-2-2-3-5-8-12-17-21-24-33-32-36-38-48-68-76-(x)-81-93-(x)-80-74 (24 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Love Them Ho's (Ho-Wop) (#27)

 

 

Commentary: Now we're talking. This is one of my all-time favourites. I must have heard this hundreds of times but I'll never get bored of it. I remember when I used to buy the Now! albums and I was so excited this was on it.

Rating: 10/10

Wolfman ft Pete Doherty - For Lovers

 

Peak: 07

Chart Run: 7-15-22-35-46-68 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Napoleon (#44)

 

 

Commentary: This song is surprisingly sweet. Not really what I was expecting from Pete Doherty.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

Agnetha Faltskog - If I Ever Thought You'd Change Your Mind

 

Peak: 11

Chart Run: 11-22-31-44-55-(x)-91 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: When You Walk In The Room (#35)

 

 

Commentary: Part of one of the most sucessful bands of all time, it's a bit of a shock to see she was only a one hit wonder while solo. A lot slower and more boring than her ABBA hits.

Rating: 5.5/10

 

 

 

JC Chasez - Some Girls (Dance With Women)/Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)

 

Peak: 13

Chart Run: 13-18-23-31-47-62-(x)-97-83 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: The first double A-Side song to appear. I'll just go with the first credited. An absolute terrible song, I wish I chose the other song now.

Rating: 5/10

 

 

 

OceanLab - Satellite

 

Peak: 19

Chart Run: 19-29-38-49 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Clear Blue Water (#48)

 

 

Commentary: This is really average. It just sounds like every other trance hit.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Gunther & The Sunshine Girls - Ding Dong Song

 

Peak: 14

Chart Run: 85-14-26-40-50 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: Well it's... different. I think he may be in on the joke and this is a parody. I hope so at least. I actually prefer it to the last track. :kink:

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Frankee - F.U.R.B. (F**k U Right Back)

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 68-43-49-1-1-1-2-6-10-14-18-25-34-35-38-41-52-60-61-(x)-95 (20 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: As I said before the Eamon song is one of my all time favourites. This, on the other hand, certainly isn't. Even when I was 6 I found this version a bit childish. How people like this version more I will never know.

Rating: 6.5/10

Cassidy ft R Kelly - Hotel

 

Peak: 03

Chart Run: 3-4-6-7-8-11-15-21-25-26-30-35-53-67-(x)-86 (17 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Get No Better (#24)

 

 

Commentary: I was expecting this to be much better. R Kelly has some absolute classics like Ignition (Remix) & Bump n' Grind but this doesn't come anywhere close to them. Cassidy's raps are decent but not particularly brilliant.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

ATL - Calling All Girls

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-25-39-54-67-(x)-83 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Make It Up With Love (#21)

 

 

Commentary: This is a poor piece of R'N'B. I can see why they didn't really catch on. They are missing a lead singer, they all sound like the forgotten members of a group.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Gladiator ft Izzy - Now We Are Free

 

Peak: 19

Chart Run: 19-32-43-58-(x)-97 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: A bit random this. The trance music and classical singing complement each other well but it's still not one I'd listen to out of choice.

Rating: 6.5/10

Hope Of The States - The Red The White The Black The Blue

 

Peak: 15

Chart Run: 15-47-64 (3 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Enemies Friends (#25)

 

 

Commentary: I'm not a fan of this type of music. I usually find it a bit dull. I don't think this is a particularly high rated song of its genre either.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 23-48-(x)-16-28-37-52-69 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (#23)

 

 

Commentary: I thought this was a lot bigger than it was. Still a song that I hear often. That might be because it's the theme for Live At The Apollo.
