Shampoo - Viva La Megababes (1994) - 8.0 Country : United Kingdom Chart results : # 27 in UK QjMuQ85OmFg Shampoo were an English female duo, formed by Jacqueline Blake and Caroline Askew. The name of band deriving from their schoolyard nickname of 'the shampoo girls', for claiming to be 'washing their hair' when turning down date requests. In my chart “Viva La Megababes” became their second consecutive # 1 single and Shampoo continued the attack on Pearls’ record, who had three number one hits in 70s. I don’t like Spice Girls, that’s why Shampoo is the best “Girl power” group for me, even if their most successful song was peaked only at # 11 in UK.

Their signature style is that all three girls in the group mostly wear the same outfit. In fourteen years period K3 ladies recorded 13 studio albums, three soundtracks and some hits compilations, so they are the most hardworking girl group in music history. I don’t care about the current line-up, for me the story of group was over after goodbye single “K3 Loves You” in 2015 year. “Kusjesdag” (Kissing Day) is the first single from the ninth K3 studio album “Kusjes”, which became top 10 hit on both main markets for K3 music. This was the last album for Kathleen Aerts before she left the group.

October 22, 20204 yr Author 75. Loose Chippin's - I'll Be There For You (2000) - 8.0 Country : United Kingdom JExPdGAr7z8 Loose Chippin’s is the most mysterious UK girl group ever. There is not any info about group in Wikipedia and Discogs too. Two videos were filmed, but they didn’t have any chart results in time period, when every single easily reached top 75 in UK. So possibly both singles were cancelled or very small number of copies was issued. “I'll Be There For You” is a cover version of Rembrandts’ main hit, it is best known as the main theme song to the most popular sitcom of 90s generation “Friends”.
