March 17, 20214 yr Yay for Shania Twain going out too, hugely overrated song and I've always felt like it's just me that thinks that x I totally agree! Neither that or 'S&M' are huge losses although I do wish 'Doctor Pressure' had done better :(
March 17, 20214 yr Dr Pressure turned two good songs into a much worse one, pleased it finished so low down.
March 17, 20214 yr Author 47. Enigma - Return To Innocence Average score - 5.924 Writers - Michael Cretu, Kuo Ying-nan, Kuo Hsiu-chu, John Bonham Top scores : 10 - Shoat, dandy*, AH Gold, Borza, Campbell Low scores : 0 - chrissmith276, 1 - Adelita, 2 - Alex!, detonate, Jason Three years after their number 1 single, this was the German group's second top 40 hit. The drum beat was sampled from 'When The Levee Breaks' by Led Zeppelin while the chant is a drinking song recorded by two of the Amis people of Taiwan when they were on a cultural exchange in Paris. They later made a successful claim for credits and royalties. Rk_sAHh9s08

March 18, 20214 yr oh no, 3 great songs already gone :( Didn't know that Victoria Horn wrote WDYLN (she sung on Rui Da Silva marvelous track "Feel The Love" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8fAJVWt-Ng)
March 18, 20214 yr Return To Innocence did well to get this far so that's about where I expected it, Who Do You Love Now is fine too but Iris is the biggest loss so far, feels like it's finished a bit too low.
March 18, 20214 yr 'Return To Innocence' still sounds good now, it's got that anthemic feel. WDLYN was good but Dannii's done better since then. 'Iris' feels like it was the 'Chasing Cars' of the 90s, such a radio staple.

March 19, 20214 yr Lots of good songs dropping out here, particularly Budapest and Can't Feel My Face but at least the latter made it into the top 40 number 3s.
