Charted at: #50 (14.08.2004)

 

Ladytron “Destroy Everything You Touch”

 

Charted at: #42 (01.10.2005) and at #158 (remix) (10.11.2007)

The Feeling - Sewn

 

Still a nice lengthy tune. Their other hit singles from the same album... don't sound great now. Better leave them in 2006. LOL

“Destroy Everything You Touch” what a song :heart:

 

 

Yeah!

And we also got the Weebl And Bob parody Destroy Every Pie You Touch from it

 

 

Shuffle was in a 2009 mood today! I got:

 

Basement Jaxx - Raindrops ~ kooky goodness <3 should’ve been a top 10 smash

La Roux - Bulletproof ~ always preferred this to ‘In For The Kill’, love the Pitch Perfect mash-up with ‘Release Me’ too

Omg Release Me *.* I forgot about Agnes. Loved that back in the day.

Yessss ‘Release Me’ is pop perfection :wub: she brought out some great new music last year - I loved ‘I Trance’ in particular :heart:

 

Today’s shuffle 00s running tunes:

 

Crazy Frog - Axel F (lmao)

Lily Allen - Smile (I was obsessed with this at the time! Was a good one to slow down and walk to)

Scouting For Girls - Elvis Ain’t Dead (The singles from this era have held up well for me)

Wiley - Wearing My Rolex (BANGER *.*)

Sophie Ellis Bexter - Murder On The Dancefloor - absolute classic. Should've been #1 for weeks.

 

No Doubt - Hey Baby. Banger. Remember buying this and Sophie at the time.

 

Little Jackie - The World Should Revolve Around Me - such an infectious pop tune.

I was recently reminded of this bop thanks to watching all of the Canada's Drag Race lip syncs

 

 

their story is kinda tragic ngl, they never got big outside of Canada, then one of their members left, and then it all spiraled from there

My mate has put on Sash's 'Raindrops' from 2008 recently and I've given them a couple of plays on Spotify. Totally didn't realise Molly our UK entrant was the singer and girl in the video or I did and forgot.

 

Partly inspired by the fact I didn't follow the charts for a couple of years from 03-05 and will have only become aware of songs that I hadn't heard back then only now... what songs are you only just discovering now?

 

 

a top 20 hit in 2004. Only charted with two songs in the top 40 overall. Also my mate has been playing this a handful of times recently too hence why it came to my attention.

 

Will add some more soon.

I think the last chart-topper oldie for me that I didnt know already was AH Gold's Xmas fave from Air, Ce Matin La

 

 

but Im always discovering old records I dont know, part of the joy of digging into back catalogue :yahoo:

 

2003/5?

 

well these were my chart-toppers from stuff released then (it wont add up to 52 weeks, cos oldies top my charts too) so if you don't know any of them, might be worth a youtube....

I’ve never listened to solo Abba so that might be a good start for me with that Agnetha song and album!

A pleasant song by Agnetha, wasn't it a Cilla Black cover?

 

I owned the Candee Jay album, she was basically the Alice Deejay sequel, the producers were the same but the vocalist was different.
