Run It is an awful start for Chris Brown, I hope he gets better over time

 

Well he's obviously going to be a flash-in-the-pan one hit wonder and he won't get the chance -_-

 

I'd like to get to know more Placebo, this sounds pretty great as a start for that.

#12

 

A dance act is at #12 that had to change their name in the United States due to conflict with an American hip-hop act, that have a similar name. Outside the US they still use their original name. They had a number 1 hit, 2 top 10 hits (incl. the #1) and 4 top 40 hits between 2004 and 2006.

Biography

Shapeshifters are a house music production duo based in London, England. They have a recording contract with Defected Records, and were previously signed to Positiva. Max Reich is originally from Gothenburg, Sweden, while Simon Marlin is British.

 

They are known in the United States as Shape:UK, in part due to a conflict with the Los Angeles based hip-hop act The Shape Shifters. However, the UK duo still uses "The Shapeshifters" name when they are releasing material in other countries outside the US. - Wikipedia

nice to see The Shapeshifters get a good chart showing, Lola's Theme is a lot lot better than this though.

Well colour me shocked, I thought Shapeshifters were a one-hit wonder.

This is pleasant enough even if not iconic like most hit dance tracks of the mid 00s..

shapeshifters :heart:

also thought they were one hit wonders (Lolas theme)

#11

 

The king of pop is here, his label did a campaign and release all of his number 1 hits week by week. This re-release entered the UK chart at #11.

 

I never expected to hear Lola's Theme here! (and that's why they were, until now, thought to be a one-hit wonder)

Biography

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and businessman. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.

 

The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1968, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. With videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream", he continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s, as well as forging a reputation as a touring solo artist. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop, and rock artists.

 

Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other albums, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the first and only dancer from pop and rock music. Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; 26 American Music Awards, more than any other artist, including the "Artist of the Century" and "Artist of the 1980s"; 13 number-one singles in the United States in his solo career, more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era; and the estimated sale of over 400 million records worldwide. Jackson has won hundreds of awards, making him the most-awarded recording artist in the history of popular music. In what would have been Jackson's 52nd birthday on August 29, 2010, he became the most downloaded artist of all time in Nokia Music Store. A philanthropist, Jackson constantly traveled the world attending events honoring his humanitarianism and the 2000 Guinness Book of Records recognized him for supporting 39 charities.

 

Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships, and behavior, generated controversy. In the mid-1990s, he was accused of child sexual abuse, but the case was settled out of court for about $25 million and no formal charges were brought. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of further child sexual abuse allegations and several other charges after the jury found him not guilty on all counts. While preparing for his comeback concert series titled This Is It, Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled his death a homicide, and his personal physician Conrad Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief and a live broadcast of his public memorial service was viewed around the world. - Wikipedia

'Billie Jean' :wub: Such a classic! Can't decide if this or 'Thriller' is my favourite MJ song.

I don't like many MJ tracks but this is definitely one of the better ones.

one of the best song sin the history of music!!!! those lyrics!!!

Michael Jackson classics :yahoo: Billie Jean being quite a highlight.

Reissues, that's another thing that seems bizarre looking back. Pretty brilliant MJ song anyway.

Billie Jean is such a classique :wub:

I forget that physical re-releases of classic singles like this still did well then (and remember all those Elvis singles that were released again in 2007). Always lovely to hear Billie Jean though :heart:
