This Week:

1997- Puff Daddy ft Faith Evans & 112- I'll Be Missing You

Ripped off:

This, from disgraced rapper Puff Daddy who ripped off The Police's 'Every Breath You Take'. He is currently in jail for numerous sexual misconduct charges. This was at the time, one of my favourite hip-hop songs and is until everything came out and that horrific video of him pushing Cassie.

2004- Blue- Bubblin'

'Bubblin' was the fourth and final single from Blue's third studio album 'Guilty'. This would have uncredited vocals from girl group L.A.D.E. This would go on and peak at #9 in the UK. This is one I don't recall from Blue. I mean they had better songs in my view, I would say. Still people must have brought this to help it get to #9, it sounds as if they trying to do an B-side on a Blazin' Squad song.

2014- Jason Derulo ft Snoop Dogg- Wiggle

'Wiggle' was the fourth single from Jason Derulo's third studio album 'Tattoos'. This would feature Snoop Dogg. This would go on and peak at #8 in the UK, in the US this would fare better by peaking at #5 in the Billboard Hot 100. This would have the dubious honour of topping The Hate Chart in 2014 on Buzzjack. In the music video this would feature an guest appearance from Ne-Yo.

This Week:

1995- Soul II Soul- Love Enuff

TOTP Performance:

'Love Enuff' was the first single from Soul II Soul's sixth studio album 'Volume V: Believe'. This would feature Penny Ford who as the lead singer of SNAP!. This would go on and peak at #12 in the UK.

1996- Mark Morrison- Crazy

TOTP Performance:

'Crazy' was the second single from Mark Morrison's debut studio album 'Return of the Mack'. This would go on and peak at #6 in the UK. This would feature background vocals from Angie Brown and Daddy Wattsie.

2002- N*E*R*D- Rock Star

Jason Nevins Remix:

'Rock Star' was the second single from N*E*R*D's debut studio album 'In Search of...' This would go on and peak at #15 in the UK, this didn't chart in the Billboard Hot 100. This isn't one that I'm that familiar from N.E.R.D which features Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley. There was an Jason Nevins remix of this song which was featured on numerous video games. This is all right from N*E*R*D.

This Week:

1999- Eternal- What'cha Gonna Do

TOTP Performance:

'What'cha Gonna Do' was the lead single from Eternal's self-titled fourth and final studio album' It was the only single to be released from the group as a duo of sisters Easther & Vernie Bennett. This would go on and peak at #16 in the UK, becoming their only single to peak in the Top 15. It's not one that I remember particularly.

2009- Black Eyed Peas- I Gotta Feeling

'I Gotta Feeling' was the second single from Black Eyed Peas' fifth studio album 'The E.N.D'. This would go on and peak at #1 in the UK becoming their third UK #1 at the time where it would stay there for two non-consecutive weeks. In the US this would peak at #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 where it would stay there for an total of 14 weeks at #1. At the time, this was one of my favourite songs of 2009, however due to overplay it isn't one that I would listen to regularly. This would come 60th in my Top 100 Songs of the 2000s which I did back in 2015. It's an song that will probably be played at most wedding discos, it was at my mate's back in 2023. There was another version I seem to remember at high school about 'I Gotta Feeling that tonight's gonna be a sh*t night'.

2011- Dappy- No Regrets

'No Regrets' was the debut solo single from UK rapper Dappy from his debut studio album 'Bad Intentions'. This would go on and peak at #1 in the UK becoming his first and to date only UK #1, it would re-enter the charts in January 2014, at #40 thanks to his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother. Well it did happen an UK #1 for Dappy, it's probably an motivational song for somebody.
