36. Samanda - Barbie Girl (2007) - 9.0

 

Country : United Kingdom

Chart results : # 26 in UK

 

 

Amanda Louise Marchant and Samantha Joanne Marchant, better known as Samanda, are female duo, consisting of identical twin sisters who first came to fame on Big Brother in 2007, in which they jointly achieved second place.

 

Samanda’s “Barbie Girl” is joyful, girlish and more associated with the most popular doll in the world, that’s why I prefer their cover over worldwide Aqua hit. Both versions were # 1s in my chart.

34. Girls @ Play - Airhead (2001) - 9.0

 

Country : United Kingdom

Chart results : # 18 in UK

 

 

Girls@Play were a British girl band, consisting of Vicky Dowdall, Lisa-Jay White, Rita Simons, Lynsey Shaw (my favourite member) and Shelley Nash. They were signed to GSM Records and produced by Mike Stock and Matt Aitken.

 

Each member of the band played a different character in their both music videos. Vicky played a cowgirl, Lisa an executive, Rita a mechanic, Lynsey a New York City traffic cop and Shelley a pilot.

 

In 2019 year Girls@Play came to the service with previously unreleased material from their unreleased album, including such tracks as "When Love Takes Over You", "Outta My Head", "Forget About Love", "Everything I Need" and "Brand New Car".

33. Mango - Snaiges (2001) - 9.0

 

Country : Lithuania

 

 

Winter theme is popular in this countdown. “Snaiges” (Snowflakes) was recorded almost 20 years ago for fourth studio album “Reikalingi Zodziai” (Required Words). In 2020 year Mango uploaded this track on their official channel. I was very inattentive and that’s a reason why “Snaiges” wrongly spent four weeks at # 1 in January instead 1st position in weekly retrospective chart.

32. K3 - Alice In Wonderland (2011) - 9.0

 

Country : Belgium

Chart results : # 7 in Belgium, # 24 in Netherlands

 

 

"Alice In Wonderland" was the third K3 musical album. The musical itself is very loosely based on Alice-books by Lewis Carroll. On the album and in the musical are also a few songs sung by Jacques Vermeire as the white rabbit, Koen Krucke as Caterpillar and Madhatter, Nicole & Hugo as the heartking and Heartqueen, as well as Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum.

 

German singer Lady Lily had # 1 hit in my retro 1985 chart with other "Alice In Wonderland" single.

Country : Lithuania

 

 

Schoolgirls grew up and changed the name of group on Studentes in 2009 year. Ruta Zilionyte left the band and became a member of DAR, so now Studentes is three-piece girl group.

 

"Pavasaris Ziema" (Spring In Winter) was the second introduced song from their long-awaited sixth studio album "As Ir Mano Mergaites" (Me and My Girls).

30. Double Take - Hot Problems (2012) - 9.0

 

Country : United States

 

 

Now, it’s time for the most controversial song from this top 100. Yes, I love this single, which spent 2 weeks on the top of my chart.

 

"Hot Problems" was released by American duo Double Take which consists of Drew Garrett and Lauren Willey.

 

On April 17, 2012 "Hot Problems" music video was featured on several news sites, and received a wide variety of negative reviews. The song has been called "the worst song ever".

 

The lyrics are fun and already became iconic, but it’s hard to associate the song with Double Take girls. They are cute, maybe beautiful, but obviously not hot. Any other girl group must do a cover version of "Hot Problems" with better vocals and the sexual video, something like Girls Aloud "Sexy No No No".

 

Look at me and tell me the truth

What do you do

When people don't know

What we go through

They see my blonde hair

Blue eyes and class

But they don't know

I have a really big heart

 

Please don't get me wrong

I know that I'm hot

Textbook perfection really takes a lot

Weird guys call my phones

And girls call me names

Like Miley said, I can't be tamed

 

[Chorus]:

Hot girls we have problems too

We're just like you, except we're hot

The world needs to open their eyes

And realize

We're not perfect

And sometimes we lie

 

I've got the look

I've got the butt

But those things don't make me a $l*t

Boys call me stuck up

Girls say I'm conceited

On behalf on all hot girls those comments are not needed

 

Just 'cause I'm pretty

I have to be dumb

I don't care about wits

I just wanna have fun

 

People start rumors

And say things about me

Funny thing is I didn't go to the party

 

[Chorus]

 

Why oh why

Can't you see

You are all

Just like me

We make mistakes

And get in trouble

Now you know our hot girls trouble

 

[Chorus]

 

Just kidding

We're perfect

29. Hot Pantz - Give You One For Christmas (2004) - 9.0

 

Country : United Kingdom

Chart results : # 64 in UK

 

 

Hot Pantz were British female group, formed by Kelly Robinson and Shelley Mintrim. A duo released the single "Give You One For Christmas" in 2004 year, which despite active radio airplay failed to reach Top 40 in UK Singles Chart.

 

This track was written and produced by famous Barry Upton, mostly well-known as the one from Steps creators.

 

It was possible only in my chart, Hotpantz spent 4 weeks at # 1 with the modern classic "Give You One For Christmas" in the battle against Skandi Girls - Do The Can Can (UK # 38) and a hilarious cover version of "I Got You Babe" (UK # 5).

 

Top 3 (Christmas week in 2004) :

01. (NE) Hot Pantz - Give You One For Christmas

02. (NE) Skandi Girls - Do The Can Can

03. (NE) Avid Merrion, Davina McColl, Patsy Kensit - I Got You Babe

28. YVA - Paparaciai (2009) - 9.0

 

Country : Lithuania

 

 

Song lyrics of "Paparazzi" is the answer of YVA singer Natalija Bunke for tabloids and other critics of her music and lifestyle. Obviously it’s the one from the most interesting YVA tracks, so I tried to translate it on English.

 

YVA - Paparazzi

Hey, paparazzi, already got bored

No, you’re fine

If you want a new knowledge - pay money.

 

Journalists do not dive out of fur

Describe each my lover

Cameras are attacking

Occupies a private space

 

They write that I use lip-synching

They write that I am selling my house

They are interested in all my illnesses

They know - where YVA is, there is an intrigue

 

God, whatever they don't think about

Man carve a container in the yard

Sorts everything that is thrown away

Expect to find a pregnancy test

 

They trample on my honor and dignity

Completely lost in decency

Foreign chest was mounted

And out of print

 

Paparazzi, Paparazzi

Her skirt flies boldly

 

Lithuania knows everything well

Mantas Petruskevicius, stylist

Written on the forehead of "Elite"

"It really is not suitable for cellulite"

 

I get it and turn to the lens

The group YVA sends a kiss for you

Although, to be honest, you don't care

After all, we're not a nobility

 

Magazines criticize my style

Comment each new outfit

Trying to show me disgusting

Print a cruel photos

 

But there's really nothing to wonder about here

Paparazzi are only the puppets

They work obediently, from around the corner

Their heads are ruled by the ropes

 

I will definitely make a million

Even if I sings out of tune

If I wish, I will get a billion

If I put myself in a pawn shop

 

I am driven by everyone, all the tabloids

I got internet comments

I was annoyed by the annoying paparazzi

They belong to the class of blackworkers

27. Blogos Mergaites - Nestabdyk (2007) - 9.0

 

Country : Lithuania

 

 

"Nestabdyk" (Don't Stop) was a highlight of short Blogos Mergaites music career, so it's not a surprise to see this masterpiece in top 30.

26. YVA - Velnias Manyje Gyvena (2009) - 9.0

 

Country : Lithuania

 

 

Based on lyrics "Velnias Manyje Gyvena" (The Devil Lives In Me) sounds like "Paparacai"'s sequel. Besides the relations between celebrities and mass media in this song YVA beauties also talk about a dark side of the female nature.

25. Magnit - Meile Kaip Kine (2015) - 9.0

 

Country : Lithuania

 

 

After the success of their previous song "Laiko Rate" Magnit filmed the video on "Meile Kaip Kine" (Love Like Cinema). The ladies didn’t have any original ideas or interesting plot, it’s just the advertising of Kristina’s beauty salon.

Oh my god. Samanda. I'd completely forgotten all about them. What year were they on TV?

24. Graaf - Heartbreaker (1999) - 9.0

 

Country : Sweden

 

 

This is how the story ends for my second favourite Swedish act. Graaf's fourth single "Heartbreaker" (this song was written by Bee Gees in 80s), taken from wonderful pop album with very simple title "Graaf Sisters", was their third consecutive and sadly last # 1 in my retro chart.

 

It's still impressive result for the group with only one album, but allSTARS* broke the record in 2001-2002 years, when all four their singles became # 1 hits.

23. Sirdeles - Kodel - 9.0

Country : Lithuania

 

Lithuanian girl group Sirdeles (Hearts) was formed in 2006 year by Ieva Jotkelaite and Alisa Veitaite in Klaipeda. "Kodel" (Why?) became their second big hit in my chart.

Sirdeles unsuccessfully participated in national Eurovision pre-selection two times (2009, 2010). Like Kristina Ivanova from YVA Ieva also tried to win a beauty contest "Miss Lithuania".

Edited by Last Dreamer

John, from top 40 you obviously know Girls Aloud songs and main Cats UK hit, four other tracks were represented in UK chart and one song is well-known for big hate wave on Youtube and in other media.

 

Yes you're right, Girls Aloud! :cheer: Always fab....

 

Cats UK, ah memories of being young :D

22. K3 - Koning Willem-Alexander (2013) - 9.0

 

Country : Belgium

 

 

My favourite K3 song "Koning Willem-Alexander" was released as a lead single from their thirteenth (!!!) studio album "Loko Le". It is a reworked version of the song "Willem-Alexander" from 11th album "Eyo" (2011). After then prince Willem-Alexander was inaugurated as King of Netherlands on April 30, 2013 and it was adapted to its new title and pieces from the song were rewritten.

 

Interesting fact : Only four K3 albums (without compilations) didn’t reach top 3 in Belgium, all three K3 songs from my top 100 belong to them.

21. Girls Aloud - Theme To St.Trinians (2008) - 9.0

 

Country : United Kingdom

Chart results : # 51 in UK

 

 

"Theme To St. Trinians" was recorded by Girls Aloud to coincide with their cameo appearance in the film as the St Trinian's School Band. A music video of their performance from the film was used to promote the track, which was available for digital download alongside the rest of the soundtrack album, but was removed by Fascination Records to avoid confusion with the actual single "Call The Shots".

 

"Theme To St.Trinians" is the third highest Girls Aloud single in this countdown. ;)
