Trevor & Simon - Hands Up

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-25-37-45-62-(x)-95-89-95 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: I recognise the instrumental of this but I can't find any information about this song anywhere. This must be the most obscure one hit wonder ever.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Mikey Graham - You're My Angel

 

Peak: 13

Chart Run: 13-34-57-68-71-(x)-85 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: You Could Be My Everything (#62)

 

 

Commentary: Boyzone member so I don't have high hopes for this. Not as bad as I was expecting but it does just sounds like a generic boy-band song with a bit more guitar.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Buffalo G - We're Really Saying Something

 

Peak: 17

Chart Run: 17-40-59-(x)-74-(x)-100-88 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: This is by far the worst song so far. Like the female version of PJ & Duncan but much, much worse. Thank God they did not have another hit.

Rating: 3/10

 

 

 

B-15 Project ft Crissy D & Lady G - Girls Like Us

 

Peak: 07

Chart Run: 7-12-19-33-47-62-58-58-(x)-69-55-87 (12 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: Another garage track. Was really enjoying this until the pointless incomprehensible rap section. Completely ruined the mood of the song.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

 

Black Legend - You See The Trouble With Me

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 91-(x)-48-62-60-85/52-54-65-1-2-7-16-22-28-32-38-44-59-59-62-68-70-69-79 (24 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Somebody (#37)

 

 

Commentary: Doesn't sound like a number one at all. It sounds more like a song you would hear nowadays than in 2000.

Rating: 7/10

Girl Thing - Last One Standing

 

Peak: 08

Chart Run: 8-19-28-35-39-40-50-71-77-83-65-67 (12 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Girls On Top (#25)

 

 

Commentary: I think the problem for them was that they think they are a zero hit wonder. :kink: Simon Cowell's band to rival Spice Girls didn't really work out. Ended up of Big Reunion 2013. Not too sure on the 'To Be Continued' ending.

Rating: 4/10

 

 

 

Lonyo - Summer Of Love

 

Peak: 08

Chart Run: 8-19-26-33-41-57-74-(x)-87 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Garage Girls (#39)

 

 

Commentary: By far the best song for a while. Sounds like it would be great to listen to in the sun.

Rating: 8/10

 

 

 

Ol' Dirty Bast*rd ft Kelis - Got Your Money

 

Peak: 11

Chart Run: 11-22-27-31-36-47-63-75 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: This is one I sang a lot during my childhood without realising who it was by. Might or might not be featuring again pretty soon as a member of The Wu-Tang Clan.

Rating: 8/10

 

 

 

Sid Owen - Good Thing Going

 

Peak: 14

Chart Run: 14-24-33-44-60-(x)-86 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Better Believe It (Children In Need) (#60)

 

 

Commentary: Whoever the rapper is in this he doesn't get a credit. Rickyyyyyy off EastEnders once tried to be a pop star and it failed, miserably. It's never a good idea to start your career on a cover, unless you've won a singing talent competition.

Rating: 5.5/10

Dum Dums - Can't Get You Out Of My Thoughts

 

Peak: 18

Chart Run: 18-38-44-62-67-(x)-98 (6 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Everything (#21)

 

 

Commentary: This sounds like a McFly album track. And the video is quite similar to 5 Colours.... They should sue McFly really.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Marc Et Claude - I Need Your Lovin' (Like The Sunshine)

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-20-27-39-50-63-73-(x)-86-95 (9 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: La (23)

 

 

Commentary: Wikipedia tells me they are a German duo. A suprisingly high amount of acts in this countdown seem to be German. This is a decent song but doesn't do enough to stand out.

Rating: 7/10

 

 

 

Storm - Time To Burn

 

Peak: 03

Chart Run: 3-6-8-9-13-21-32-37-49-66-(x)-96-94-(x)-96 (13 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Storm Animal (#21)

 

 

Commentary: Another German duo. The video is of 2 Asian women boxers. Not sure what that's go to do with the song but ok. I don't know how this became such a hit as it sounds like a lot of the other milder hits that have already went in this countdown.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Wookie ft Lain - Battle

 

Peak: 10

Chart Run: 10-19-18-30-35-52-74 (7 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Back Up (To Me) (#38)

 

 

Commentary: This is boring. I'm listening to it as I type and I still can't tell you how it goes.

Rating: 6/10

 

 

 

Ruff Endz - No More

 

Peak: 11

Chart Run: 11-15-26-37-54 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: Nice chilled R'N'B track. This was actually released again with another one hit wonder, Mary Mary - Shackles and peaked at 93.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

Spiller ft Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)

 

Peak: 01

Chart Run: 1-2-3-6-12-17-20-27-36-37-40-39-48-64-59-55-56-54-49-46-42-43-50-66-77-81-77-86-85-91 (30 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Cry Baby (#40)

 

 

Commentary: The first massive song in this countdown. I've never been a massive fan of this but I do like it and it has became a classic. Fun trivia: This was the first ever song to be played on an iPod.

Rating: 7/10

Robbie Rivera Presents Rhythm Bangers - Bang

 

Peak: 13

Chart Run: 13-22-46-59-64-71-47-84 (8 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Sex (#55)

 

 

Commentary: This is really good. Reminds me a bit of Jacques Your Body.

Rating: 7.5/10

 

 

 

Element Four - Big Brother UK Tv Theme

 

Peak: 04

Chart Run: 4-8-9-15-26-38-55-73-74-(x)-87-87-88-(x)-96-(x)-100-(x)-63-75 (16 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: I used to love Big Brother when I was younger. Now I'm pretty give or take on it. The series with Nicki or with Halfwit are among my favourite moment of television. The theme song is memorable but I think its legacy through the show overshadows its musical appeal for me. I would never hear it and not think of watching Big Brother on TV.

Rating: 8/10

 

 

 

Tru Faith & Dub Conspiracy - Freak Like Me

 

Peak: 12

Chart Run: 12-20-30-43-65 (5 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: N/A

 

 

Commentary: I'd only ever heard the Sugababes version of this. :oops: I prefer this version to be honest. However, unpopular opinion, I've never really liked Sugababes, although I did see them perform at some Children In Need thing I went to for free thanks to my Dad's work sponsoring it.

Rating: 6.5/10

 

 

 

ATFC ft Lisa Millett - Bad Habit

 

Peak: 17

Chart Run: 17-40-58 (4 weeks)

2nd Highest Hit: Sleep Talk (#35)

 

 

Commentary: Nothing about this at all on Wikipedia. This is a tune though. I think this is one I might stick with.

Rating: 8/10

 

 

 

Edit: ACTUALLY NOT A ONE HIT WONDER. WHOOPS :kink:

I'm really enjoying this! This is the year I started following music and there are SO many memories just reading this thread. :heart:
