It's about time the fORAm had its own throwback thread as today marks 12 months since "Anywhere" reached #2 in the UK chart! An absolute bop and rightfully Rita's biggest hit to date.

Best pop song of the decade

It's such an undeniable barnstormer. :wub:

Seven years ago today, Hot Right Now was released in the UK, kickstarting Rita's career and record-breaking run of #1 singles!

 

 

Remains an absolute banger, it was so incredible seeing her perform it on her last tour, fingers crossed it makes the cut for the Phoenix tour!

I Will Never Let You Down was released 5 years ago today *.* 5 years of the longest album campaign known to woman!!

 

Still such a huge bop and I'm so glad that her and Calvin sorted out their differences after their breakup so Rita can perform this live 💖 Still one of her absolute best!

Still such a pop triumph :wub: can't believe this is still her most recent UK #1!

Hard to believe that this is her recent UK #1. 'I Will Never Let You Down' that some sort of 80s arcade game vibe, just sounded a bit like that. But it was great from him.

 

 

Christ, 5 years!? HOW?

 

Still my favourite Rita track. I remember being very whelmed by it on first listen, but it grew massively.

This was the first song of hers I liked to be honest, after her dreadful debut era. It's held up very well over time as well.

Still in her holy trinity with Anywhere and Let You Love Me!
