2nd Highest Hit: Hate (I Really Don't Like) (#53)

 

 

Comment: This is legitimately one of my all-time favourite songs. Very simple but filled with so much emotion. One of them songs that just instantly takes me back to when I was a child.

Freaks - The Creeps (Get On The Dancefloor)

 

Peak: 09

Chart Run: 9-13-15-23-44-45-56-69-82-87 (10 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: The Creeps (Your Giving Me) (#21)

 

 

Comment: This is a forgotten classic. This is very bold and in your face. It's sounds different to the type of dance that is popular today which is making it sound all the fresher.

2nd Highest Hit: Typical Me (#22)

 

 

Comment: With the resurgence of Craig David & Kano's album doing so well, this would have a chance of doing well now. This isn't bad but they've both done better.

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: It's impossible to take this seriously now as I think of Homebase whenever I hear that whistling part. Other than that part I do like this song.

Comment: As I said before, I loved all of the 3 Fedde hits. This is probably my least favourite of the 3 but still a 10/10 classic.

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: Back when I used to buy Now! CD's this was on my all-time favourite album. I just remember it being so weird that it stood out from the rest of the tracks. I listened to this all the time back on my iPod nano.

Koopa - The Crash

2nd Highest Hit: The One-Off Song For The Summer (#21)

 

 

Comment: The smallest one hit wonder of all time? Managing a whole one week in the top 100. :lol: Judging from the poor quality YouTube video the song sounds ok but nothing special.

They're both amazing!!! :wub:

2nd Highest Hit: You Got The Love (#62)

 

 

Comment: This and another song to come are both absolute anthems of youth for anyone my age. Weird vocals but they fit so well with the song.

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-2-14-53-98 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Over The Rainbow (#42)

Shaun The Sheep - Life's A Treat

 

Peak: 20

Chart Run: 20-27 (2 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Comment: I remember being obsessed with this back in the day. I bought the music video on iTunes (along with Nickelback - Rockstar & Reverand & The Makers - Heavyweight Champion of the World) and I used to watch them all the time. Fun fact: this is sung by Vic Reeves.

Chart Run: 7-4-5-8-9-14-19-24-32-39-48-53-55-66-77-91-76-88 (18 weeks)

Comment: I love the chorus to this. I think Lupe's verses are great too but the chorus elevates the song from good to brilliant.

2nd Highest Hit: Over And Over (#27)

 

 

Comment: I've always had a hatred of this track but listening to it now I'm finding it nowhere near as bad and quite nostalgic. I thought it did much better in the charts than it did though. :o

2nd Highest Hit: Say You Don't Want It (#23)

 

 

Comment: The video ended very abruptly. :lol: These type of bands are just not very popular anymore which is a shame when they call release tunes as good as this one.

David Jordan - Sun Goes Down

2nd Highest Hit: Move On (#68)

 

 

Comment: Not sure what it is but something about this guy just really annoys me. Even though I'm not really a fan, I've got to admit this holds up well and still sounds very modern.

Mark Brown ft Sarah Cracknell - The Journey Continues

Chart Run: 24-11-19-29-48-77 (6 weeks)
