76.STARMAKER- Kids From Fame (88,000) #3

 

75.I WON’T LET YOU DOWN- PhD (88,000) #3

 

I'm not at all familiar with these those two songs, will have to look them up.

Those 3 are rather a mixed bag - the PhD one is decent, the Kids From Fame one is a schmaltzfest but iconic in its way, and the Flo Rida one is... Flo Rida

Would have been nice if AJ & Aitch had got a #1 with Rain, it's a decent track.

 

GDFR is hardly amazing but better than that awful Sam Smith snoozefest, Years & Years deserved a second week at #1 there.

Ahhh I really quite loved GDPR (as a guilty pleasure) in 2015, I haven't heard it since so unsure if I'd feel the same now.

74. SEE YOU- Depeche Mode (89,000) #6

No 1 in 13 weeks in 1982

 

It must come as some consolation for Depeche mode who, despite 14 top 10 singles never made the Top 3 in the singles chart (meaning of course that The Saturdays instantly outpeaked them with their cover of “Just Can’t Get Enough”). “See You” also provides them with their highest ever weekly sale, for all that the band hate the promo apparently.

 

73. WE LIKE TO PARTY- The Vengaboys (119,000) #3

 

 

No 1 in 13 weeks in 1999

 

In a year in which they managed two No 1 singles it’s perhaps not a surprise that the Vengaboys should feature here, this song failing to overcome the mighty “Baby One More Time” and the Comic relief single from Boyzone. No 1 in Belgium apparently- says it all.

 

72. CAN YOU HEAR ME (AYAYAYA)- Wiley Featuring Skepta, JME & Ms D (75,948) #3

 

 

No 1 in 14 weeks in 2012

 

Might be a Wiley (sorry) until we see him back in the charts but he has accumulated 7 top 10 singles so far- who knew. His knack of returning to the big 10 every two years hit the skids in 2014 but then we all know that he’ll never outdo “Wearing My Rolex”.

 

Vengaboys really were robbed there, the song has certainly proved itself to be more iconic than We’re Going To Ibiza at least, if not Boom Boom

I had no idea any Depeche Mode single sold as much as that in a week! They were unlucky that wasn't enough to give them a Top 3 hit at least.

'We Like To Party' is definitely the first song I think of when thinking of the Vengaboys.

I agree that We Like To Party is probably the Vengaboys most iconic song.

 

I actually loved Can You Hear me back in 2012, along with Heatwave. Don't really go back to it at all now though.

We're Going to Eat Pizza is definitely their most iconic song :D

We Like To Party is rather ace.

We Like To Party is probably their most well known song, followed by Boom Boom Boom Boom.

'We Like To Party' is definitely the first song I think of when thinking of the Vengaboys.

I try not to think about the Vengaboys too often but when I do the first song that comes to mind is always 'We're Going To Ibiza'.

Vengaboys deserved, We Like To Party is one of, if not their best.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom is the one i still hear out and about the most personally, and has three times the plays of We Like To Party on Spotify, not sure about which is most popular in terms of plays just in the UK. Basically their 1999 output was classics/signature songs only up to Kiss (When The Sun Don’t Shine).

Always weird seeing Dave Gahan with cute babyface and how he changed into a wild druggy up rockstar in the next decade around ‘Barrel of a Gun’ era!

I cannot believe that a song sold 89k in a week and missed the top 5! :o

‘See You’ ❤️
