Released only in some countries, Big Brovaz's cover of the oddly spelt Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) featured in Scooby Doo 2 during a dance scene with Scooby (they also perform Nu Flow briefly beforehand). In the UK, the track was the b-side to We Wanna Thank You (The Things You Do).

The final Big Brovaz single, and the third from their sophomore album Re-Entry, Big Bro Thang was interestingly one of the contenders for the United Kingdom's Eurovision entry in 2007. They finished third, beaten by Cyndi and eventual winners Scooch. The track only peaked at #171 in the charts, being the first not to have a CD single (oh how times have changed!).

 

A forgettable bottom two, no losses so far! Hopefully the Nu Flow album has good representation in the top 10, that album was my childhood :heart:

Re-Entry singles are dropping like flies (it's a very underrated album!!), as the second release Hangin' Around comes sixteenth. This track came almost two years after lead single Yours Fatally, and in that time Dion had left the group, leaving them as a four-piece. Hangin' Around became their first single to miss the top 40, peaking at a very disappointing #57.

Though it only features in the credits as opposed to the scene in which Big Brovaz star, We Wanna Thank You was the single to promote Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. The video features scenes from the movie as well as Scooby himself *.* The track failed to catch on though, peaking only at #17, their lowest peaking track to date.

The first single from Nu Flow to drop out is the second single, OK. I'm surprised this one is out quite so soon I must admit, it feels quite underrated! The track peaked at #7 in the UK, the second of their four top 10 hits. The original version of OK was released on the Nu Flow album in November 2002, but for the release of the single, it received a revamp that was included on a re-issue of the album (the first of two re-issues...!).

More Big Brovaz and this time it's the final single from Nu Flow. Ain't What You Do samples "It Ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It)", a collaboration between Fun Boy Three and Bananarama. It became the group's first single to miss the top 10, a place they'd never return to afterwards.

The first Booty Luv single to drop out falls short of the top 10, and it's perhaps little surprise as this is one of the least known tracks on the list, but that didn't stop it receiving two 10s. This Night was their first single in two years, after departing Hed Kandi and Ministry of Sound following Say It's flop, and according to Wikipedia is classified as a "promo single" (of course, a reputable source x). Unfortunately the track didn't end up getting anywhere, and only has a whopping 338 likes on YouTube.

Less than a year after the Nu Flow era finished with the release of Ain't What You Do, and with We Wanna Thank You to tide things over in the mean time, Big Brovaz returned in September 2004 with Yours Fatally, the lead single from their second album. Things were slightly different though - Flawless (he came for the doe x) had been sacked from the group after being found smuggling cannabis from LAX to the UK. Yours Fatally saw a more sombre tone for the group, and peaked at #15 in the UK. The group were then dropped, and the second album didn't materialise until 2007, though Yours Fatally remained a part of it!

 

:wub: One of their best... a shame it was slept on (#15 for the time really wasn't a good result).

10 7.68 Baby Boy

Yours fatally: Tawdry Hepburn, jakewild (3), ElectroBoy (5)

 

The fourth single from Nu Flow was a ballad in the form of Baby Boy, a heartfelt song that saw Big Brovaz into the UK top 10 for the final time. Baby Boy peaked at #4 for two weeks and spent five weeks in the top 10, the most for any Big Brovaz single. Recently, member J-Rock re-recorded the song as part of a campaign and TV show about autism awareness. A heartfelt gesture although the original remains the best version of course.

9 7.69 Black Widow

The newest track in the rate comes from Booty Luv's 2013 release Black Widow. Intended as the proper kickstart to a second era (after Say It underperformed and This Night made little impact), Black Widow was released through Pierce Entertainment and didn't trouble any chart (except the top 5 of the "Dance & Urban Club Chart" according to Wiki lol). It's interesting to see the disparity between the two lowest scores - Scene gave this a 1, but nobody else scored it below a 7!
