October 19, 20213 yr I was reading the other day this Billboard book on US #1 songs and they explained that before sending it to Christina Aguilera they had pitched the song first to Paula Abdul Imagine if Paula Abdul had released it, could easily had been her "resurrection" song and re-start he career
October 19, 20213 yr Author Almost definitely for the same album that she wrote "Spinning Around" for.
October 19, 20213 yr ^that's true forgot about that, what a comeback could have been with Spinning Around/Genie in a Bottle... too bad it never happened, her musical career lasted too little
October 19, 20213 yr Those 3 are all good records - albeit not my fave tracks by any of the 3 artists involved. To The End, Deadringer For Love, Dirrrty being the top tracks - granted none of them topped the charts and 2 of them are wrong decade :D I'm not at all still bitter that most fail to see the beauty in To The End.... :P

October 19, 20213 yr 2 losses for me there, both from the rather small pool of remaining early 90s songs. Dub Be Good To Me is actually one I got properly hooked on with the TOTP repeats. TATDOOL is another childhood memory - my mum had the cassette single with the black sleeve and I remember being fascinated and listening to both tracks over and over again. Praise You is one I’ve never really got actually - find it a bit dull.
October 19, 20213 yr I have to say - I'm really pleased that the great people of Buzzjack have favoured that set of 40 songs. I expect to see the Manics soon enough.
October 19, 20213 yr Continue to be excited to be reminded of what I actually gave my top marks to because I genuinely can't remember
October 19, 20213 yr double Norman Cook elimination! Praise you was quite an unexpected #1, It's good but much preferred Rockafeller Skank or Right here right now
October 19, 20213 yr 'Praise You' :wub: do love that but I also prefer 'Right Here Right Now' - what a hypnotic dance song that is *.*
October 20, 20213 yr ‘Praise You’ is an amazing pop song for me! Also That Queen song is so emotional with the video and all!
October 20, 20213 yr ^that's true forgot about that, what a comeback could have been with Spinning Around/Genie in a Bottle... too bad it never happened, her musical career lasted too little Of course you never know what might have happened if you separate the hit song from the artist i.e. would Spinning Around have been a #1 hit if it weren't for Kylie's gold hotpants but yeah there's definitely an alternate reality somewhere where Paula Abdul had a great second wind to her career after releasing those two as singles! :lol:
