Posted April 24, 20187 yr These are the entries by British or Irish boybands in the recently published top 100 boyband songs as compiled by US Billboard music critics. Davy Jones from The Monkees was British so I'm including them on the Brit side also. 92. Beat Again - JLS 91. Theme From The Monkees - The Monkees 89. Caught in the Middle - A1 88. What I Go To School For - Busted 86. I Found You - The Wanted 85. You Made Me Believe in Magic - Bay City Rollers 76. The Harder I Try - Brother Beyond 71. Never Forget - Take That 69. Swear It Again - Westlife 65. Story of My Life - One Direction 64. 5 Colours in Her Hair - McFly 61. Stay Another Day - East 17 60. Pass The Dutchie - Musical Youth 48. When the Lights Go Out - Five 42. Steal My Girl - One Direction 35. Glad You Came - The Wanted 22. She Loves You - The Beatles 21. I'm a Believer - The Monkees 17. Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers 11. Back For Good - Take That 9. Back Here - BBMak 7. Daydream Believer - The Monkees 4. What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction 3. I Want To Hold Your Hand - The Beatles Number one surprise surprise is I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys as per usual with American publications and this song. What baffles me is not only is it nonsense in it's lyrics but the song only peaked at #6 in the US so why the constant hype and status? Back For Good was a bigger global hit than I Want It That Way as well. It's a catchy but silly song I'll admit that I just can't understand why it's so hyped in America. Are the writers of these lists on the Backstreet payroll or something?! Edited April 24, 20187 yr by nirvanamusic
