October 2, 20222 yr Awwwwww no at Paula Abdul, Cappella, Amy Grant and Perez Prez Prado finishing on zero. I couldn't find room for them obviously but they are all good ...and I'd add Def Leppard and Mona is fine too
October 2, 20222 yr yes Hanky Panky is easily Madonna's worst single ever it's not even close! It's the worst track on the I'm Breathless album too, and there are some sultry gems like Sooner Or Later on it showing how not-needed Hanky Spanky was... :lol:
October 2, 20222 yr I just listened to the recap videos and hearing everything back to back really emphasises what a great and varied decade it was for music
October 2, 20222 yr I also nearly voted for Capella, they surely didn't deserve to end up with nul points but ultimately there was a lot of better dance in the decade.
October 2, 20222 yr Author NO 154- ZERO POINTS ANYTHING- 3T (#2 for 3 weeks in February 1996 behind “Spaceman” by Babylon Zoo) 1 down and 1 to go for 3T- This was a midweek chart topper. FREEDOM Robbie Williams (#2 for 1 week in August 1996 behind “Wannabe” by Spice Girls) Debut solo single from Robbie which almost went all the way but none of you rate it WHY? 3T Feat Michael Jackson (#2 for 1 week in August 1996 behind “Wannabe” by Spice Girls) And 3T are out of the rate even the mighty Michael Jackson can't help them IF YOU EVER East 17 Feat Gabrielle (#2 for 1 week in November 1996 behind “Say You’ll Be There” by Spice Girls) They have another track but this offering left you cold. WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT Warren G Feat Adina Howard (#2 for 1 week in November 1996 behind “Breathe” by Prodigy) Not adding much to the original and it seems you agree NO WOMAN NO CRY Fugees (#2 for 1 week in November 1996 behind “Breathe” by Prodigy) I SHOT THE SHERIFF Warren G (#2 for 1 week in February 1997 behind “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt) Warren G out of the rate- meanies. ISN’T IT A WONDER Boyzone (#2 for 1 week in March 1997 behind “Mama/ Who do you think you are” by Spice Girls) No one has more entries than Boyzone – but this is the first to leave- 6 left. OLD BEFORE I DIE Robbie Williams (#2 for 1 week in April 1997 behind “I Believe I Can Fly” by R Kelly) That’s both Robbie’s entries gone without a single point between them SHOOTING STAR Boyzone (#2 for 1 week in December 1997 behind “Perfect Day” by Various) Anyone remember this one? Anyway another Boyzone track out with zero points- 5 left BAMBOOGIE Bamboo (#2 for 1 week in January 1998 behind “Never Ever” by All Saints) Taking advantage of the January lull- you were unimpressed. JUST THE TWO OF US Will Smith (#2 for 1 week in August 1998 behind “Viva Forever” by Spice Girls) Will has another two songs on offer but it’s fair to say this is ……..inoffensive COME WITH ME Puff Daddy Ft Jimmy Page (#2 for 1 week for in August 1998 behind “Viva Forever” by Spice Girls) From “Godzilla”- ………so yeah TOP OF THE WORLD Brandy Ft Mase (#2 for 1 week in October 1998 behind “Rollercoaster” by B*Witched) Well it’s probably only here because of “The Boy Is Mine” so this seems appropriate. MORE THAN A WOMAN 911 (#2 for 1 week in October 1998 behind “Gym N Tonic” by Spacedust) Boybands take a hit again with this Bee Gees cover suffering. I WANT YOU FOR MYSELF Another Level (#2 for 1 week in January 1999 behind “A Little Bit More” by 911) 911 getting revenge here consigning Another Level to fellow boyband zero pointers in the rate BETTER BEST FORGOTTEN Steps (#2 for 1 week in March 1999 behind “When The Going Gets Tough” by Boyzone) Seems you agree WILD WILD WEST Will Smith (‘2 dor 1 week in July 1999 behind “9PM (Till I Come)” by ATB) The second Will Smith track gets zero points- 1 left S CLUB PARTY S Club 7 (#2 for 3 weeks in October 1999 behind “Blue” by Eiffel 65) No-one wants to see Bradley swing it seems IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME R Kelly (#2 for 1 week in November 1999 behind “keep On Movin” by Five) Indeed WHAT I AM Tin Tin Out Feat. Emma Bunton (#2 for 1 week in November 1999 behind “Lift Me Up” by Geri Halliwell) Famously losing out to Geri in the charts and in the media WILL 2K Will Smith (#2 for 1 week in November 1999 behind “She’s The One/ It’s Only Us” by Robbie Williams) Buzzjack speaks- all Will Smith’s No 2 hits get the heave ho with zero points. YOU’RE MY NUMBER ONE S Club 7 (#2 for 1 week in December 1999 behind “I Have A Dream/ Seasons In The Sun” by Westlife) Sneaked in as rhe decade ended- not that you seemed to care.
October 2, 20222 yr Most of those, in the words of Steps, are Better Best Forgotten unlike a few from the previous batch. My favourite is probably 'Old Before I Die' by Robbie but even so it's not one I revisit that much. I guess 'S Club Party' brings back a bit of childhood nostalgia, but again, evidently not something I'd vote for
October 2, 20222 yr Lol at Will Smith and Robbie Williams scoring nothing between all of their hits. Robbie has a good few great tracks but those two aren't amongst them whatsoever (particularly baffles me his version of Freedom outperformed George Michael's by so much chart wise) Listening to those recaps really hammered home just how much boyband crap there was at the time too, at least a good portion of it has scored zero too. S Club Party deserved better but like Jade it's only really good for the nostalgia factor. Bamboogie, What I Am and Better Best Forgotten are fairly decent too but again didn't make it close to my points.
October 2, 20222 yr Oops at S Club not getting any. Both of those would have got points had it been more than 30 to vote but not enough room sadly. 'S Club Party' certainly would have for nostalgia though and as did a music video too at time at Butlins :blush: I did like 'If I Could Turn Back The Hands..' as well but moving on.. 'Is It Any Wonder' that Boyzone got zero really. One of if not their worst songs for me and 'Shooting Star' I had no recollection of but I didn't appear to miss anything of importance there. Edited October 2, 20222 yr by Roba!
October 2, 20222 yr S Club Party out! Shame about Steps but it's not really their best, yet made No.4 somehow in the Steps rate in their artist forum??? So its huge fans must not have voted in this. I'm a fan of Boyzone but Isn't It A Wonder and Shooting Star are two of the most dull songs ever. I like quite a lot of these - the 3T songs, If You Ever, Wild Wild West, What I Am and the S Club and Steps songs - but not enough to vote for. The closest to my vote was actually 911's More Than A Woman, which I've always enjoyed.
October 2, 20222 yr Old Before I Die the only great one in the last batch, the rest are mostly bad covers and useless songs agree on the better best forgotten comment
October 2, 20222 yr If You Ever and You’re My Number 1 were close-ish in my votes. Better Best Forgotten is great, but way off voting.
October 2, 20222 yr No Woman, No Cry is the biggest loss of those for me. It's a pretty standard cover I guess but it was good at the time to see a hip hop act get three top 2 hits back to back.
October 2, 20222 yr If You Ever was the closest of those to my votes and actually a late cut tbh. I really like that one so shame it got zero points. S Club and Steps obviously have great childhood nostalgia value.
October 2, 20222 yr Surprised that If You Ever, Bamboogie and Better Best Forgotten had zero, none of them were particularly close to making it into my vote though.
October 2, 20222 yr Oh, I do have a soft spot for S Club Party, I did an improv routine for it when I was volunteering at the 2012 Paralympics *___ I do like Come With Me's guitar, but it drags on for too long.
October 2, 20222 yr If You Ever is a nice cover with lovely Gabs - sad that got zero. And I liked You’re My Number One at the time when I was 15. Mostly justly neglected though.
