Easily one of the biggest group of the 90s in America, not so much over here but this certainly is a classic ballad of that era, I remember the video being cheesy even back then, great song though. The “talking” bit always made be laugh to.

 

What your opinion personal opinion on this song or its position in the countdown ?

What a great countdown! Thanks so much :DD

 

Royals - Love it or hate it, it's fair to say that it is now considered as a modern classic

Your Song - Never got in to it (The Ellie version that is)

I need your love - It was within my personal Top 20 of that year

Play Hard - Awful cover

Smoke gets in your eyes - Classic 10/10

Crazy for you - Amazing, song still gives me goosebumps

Run - A rare situation when an already great song, is covered and the result is even greater. When I think of the best covers, this always comes to my mind

So Macho - Serves is purpose, good pop song

Running - Great production, I feel it deserved to be bigger than it was

I'm really not a fan of 'End Of The Road', glad I wasn't around at the time as I imagine it would've really got annoying from being everywhere and having a massively long top 40 run for its time.

 

Lol at 'So Macho' being here. I've just looked up its chart run and it appears it spent a lot of time under the top 40 before smashing, must've got a re-release at some point.

I'm pleased you are enjoying it, hopefully some of your favourites are still to come

And yeah that's how a lot of songs worked in the 80s, low entry then climb to their peak

Hard to not like this guy, while not a huge fan, I appreciate he has had some great songs, this is an ok song spoilt by Flo Rida in my opinion.

Would this is such an ambitious project and I'm so excited for it all! Kudos to you Danny boy, this is gonna be a massive thread :D

 

As for what's come I like a fair few especially 'Crazy For You' :wub: wonder if there is more Madonna to come?

I think one of a few people who preferred Bruno around this time and his first album. I still like him but ever since the release of the 2nd album / singles I'm all “meh” with his output, love this song. Oh yeah and Travie is also on the track ha ha

The three Madonna songs are hard to predict

Music, Hung Up, Into the groove, beautiful stranger, like a virgin, 4 minutes ?

Maybe its because it was everywhere but this song kinda annoys me these days, she has had so many songs better than this, I would even say its one of my least favourite songs by her.

I quite enjoyed both Billionaire and Cali Gurls at the time. Billionaire hasn't aged very well though and Cali Gurls is a bit cheesy even for Katy Perry but still quite fun.

I have no memory of this song at all thankfully, what happened to Akon ? At one point he was everywhere.

 

What your opinion personal opinion on this song or its position in the countdown ?

Absolutely hate both Billionaire/Beautiful- the former being one of my least favourite songs of all time :puke2:

 

Know it's a pretty unpopular opinion but Cali Gurls is one of my favourite Karty Perry songs, absolutely adore it and it is such a fun jam to listen to :wub:

I know its down to a persons taste but I don't understand how anyone could hate "Billionaire"

I'm sorry I have to inflict another Akon song on you guys, this is a little better than the last song but that's not really saying much.

It did seem strange just how quickly Akon went out of relevance after him being so big for many years. Guess people just moved on to Flo Rida, Potbull and Jason Detulo.

I suppose Jason Derulo is bearable but I would happily say goodbye to Flo Rida and Pitbull
