Nizlopi - JCB Song

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-2-2-2-2-6-7-10-12-14-18-25-33-55-57-85-89-84-89 (19 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Girls (#91)

 

 

Comment: Nizlopi is what I think of when I think of one-hit wonders. This was absolutely massive at the time. One of the most iconic hits of my childhood. 'I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my Dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me around in his JCB' will always be one of my favourite moments in any song.

Brian Kennedy & Peter Corry - George Best: A Tribute

 

Peak: 04

Chart Run: 21-11-4-5-11-12-22-30-38-62-85 (11 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Live, Love & Happiness (#27)

 

 

Comment: As a Manchester United fan, I've got a lot of respect for George Best, even if he played long before I was alive. This cover of You Raise Me Up is nice but not anything amazing.

Chart Run: 20-22-32-42-55-79 (6 weeks)

Comment: I very much remember this from the (Sony?) advert with the balls. Sounds decent to listen to today even if the advert bored me at the time.

Young Jeezy ft Akon - Soul Survivor

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 16-29-34-55-84 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: Jeezy's verses are okay but Akon's parts are boring. Dissapointing as Akon is usually a bit of a guilty pleasure.

Jesse McCartney - Beautiful Soul

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 17-16-19-33-46-57-67-85 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Leavin' (#48)

 

 

Comment: This is a really solid pop effort, I really don't know why this guy didn't become massive. He seems to tick every box.

Peak: 01

Comment: What a brilliant song. I have no idea how this became a hit but I'm glad it did. Haven't heard it for years and sounds all the better for it.

Kubb - Grow

 

Peak: 18

Chart Run: 18-25-49-96 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Wicked Soul (#25)

 

 

Comment: Not offensively bad, but also not fun to listen to.

Antony Costa - Do You Ever Think Of Me

 

Peak: 19

Chart Run: 19-44-85 (3 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: This is nothing like the music he made with Blue's but it's a hell of a lot better than what I was expecting; especially with that chart run. Sounds quite like Ben Haenow.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Liz McClarnon - Woman In Love/I Get The Sweetest Feeling

 

Peak: 05

Chart Run: 5-11-30-43-68-88 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: I wasn't enjoying this at the start but by the end it won me over. I don't really like Atomic Kitten and this is exceptionally cheesy but I have to admit it is catchy.

Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

 

Peak: 02

Chart Run: 2-3-5-5-5-11-11-10-13-19-25-29-34-44-46-57-76-77-73-74-73-77-83-95-98-(x)-97-(x)-82-85-(x)-93 (29 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Like A Star (#32)

 

 

Comment: I've never really liked this. Extremely overrated.

Rating: 5/10

 

 

 

Morning Runner - Burning Benches

 

Peak: 19

Chart Run: 19-45-65 (3 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Gone Up In Flames (#39)

 

 

Comment: Unremarkable. I can't remember anything about this song and I just listened to it.

Rating: 5/10

 

 

 

Chico - It's Chico Time

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-1-2-8-18-26-13-26-47-60-80-92 (12 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: D.I.S.C.O. (#24)

 

 

Comment: It's a bit rich praising this after criticising some of the previous, technically better songs but this is iconic. Every occasion when somebody asks me the time, I reply with 'Chico'. The original 'novelty' X Factor act and this being a multi-week number one just shows how big the show was at the time.

Keisha White - The Weakness In Me

 

Peak: 17

Chart Run: 17-25-34-39-51-83-92 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Don't Care Who Knows (#29)

 

 

Comment: This is well sung and very relaxing and cool but I won't be listening to it again. Doesn't really sound like a hit.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Mish Mash - Speechless

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 83-16-33-50-71-86-98 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: Not a fan of this one at all. Incredibly eccentric video but the song sounds quite generic. I also can't find anything about Mish Mash at all, who are they?

Trina ft Kelly Rowland - Here We Go

 

Peak: 15

Chart Run: 65-15-19-25-32-45-55-74-98 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: No Panties (#45)

 

 

Comment: This sounds very mid 00's but I actually quite like it. Trina seems to be one the better female rappers and her verses flows very well.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Jamie Foxx ft Ludacris - Unpredictable

 

Peak: 16

Chart Run: 87-16-25-22-29-43-59-76 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Extravaganza (#43)

 

 

Comment: Although I love his feature on Gold Digger (and Focus :kink:) I'm not really feeling this one. Ludacris's part seems like it's part of a different song.

Chart Run: 44-53-73-95-(x)-17-36-51-70-81 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: My Beat (#53)

 

 

Comment: Now this sounds massive. Easily, the best one of the day so far. This is really infectious and actually sounds fairly similar to something that could be big today.
