Posted October 17, 20222 yr d73tiBBzvFM UK Chart Run: 5-2-1-1-1-2-4-4-9-10-13-18-26-30-42-62 (16 weeks) Narrowly missing out on a place in the final are Swedish pop group Ace of Base with their only UK #1 single. Taken from their debut album Happy Nation, the song was actually recorded in 1991 but went through numerous modifications before finally being released. The group had 4 further top 10 hits and 7 further top 40 hits in the UK. We're here then, the final round - VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE! Edited October 19, 20222 yr by Dobbo.
October 17, 20222 yr Amazing run for No Limit. Fair play to it though there were about 5 other songs I prefer. :arrr: Haddaway will demolish it though surely.
October 17, 20222 yr What is Love to win! how the terrible No Limit made the finally is a mystery to me
October 17, 20222 yr Haddaway still played now and sounds fresh still whereas No Limits is the song that sounds of it’s time!
October 19, 20222 yr Author RESULT HEXWRTEbj1I UK Chart Run: 18-6-3-3-2-2-3-5-6-9-16-20-32-47-64 (15 weeks) A result that was never in doubt. What Is Love only picked up 1 vote for elimination throughout the entire survivor and now dominates this final with a convincing victory. Haddaway is a German-American Eurodance singer who was born in Trinidad & Tobago and this is by far and away his most well known song. It was kept off #1 in the UK by Gabrielle's Dreams and was in fact the only non-#1 to make the year end top 10 singles. Nevertheless it's an easy victory here! r6FVk2k4qsM UK Chart Run: 4-2-1-1-1-1-1-2-4-5-8-10-18-24-43-60 (16 weeks) Eurodance really was a force in 1993 with 2 Unlimited, fittingly perhaps, finishing 2nd. The Belgian & Dutch group had a swathe of hits during the early 90s but this was the only one to reach top spot in the UK when it became the first new #1 of the year. The UK release weirdly had all the rap parts removed (bar the word 'techno') but it's much better in its full glory. This song did well to dodge a few close calls throughout this survivor but simply couldn't overcome the mighty What Is Love.
October 19, 20222 yr Obvious but fantastic winner and 'No Limit' is an alright runner up but there was better that could have come 2nd.
October 19, 20222 yr Wow didn’t actually realise Haddaway was a number two until I seen the chart run there!
October 19, 20222 yr Me neither!! Had I not seen it in the 90's #2's and then looked it up on Wikipedia I would've assumed it was a number one as well. Definitely one for a 'I thought they were a #1' debate.
