The timing of 'Untouched' popping up here at this time �� (you'll know in a day or two x). I was one of the only ones not keen on it but that's down to the squeaky vocals for me especially back then. I've grown to like it more now though after being a fan of a lot of The Veronica's stuff in the last decade. The strings/violin intro and elsewhere have always been a great piece on it though.

 

'Reach' is joyous pop banger and I'll have to check Triple 8 as I don't think I've heard that or anything of theirs but it was in 2003 when I wasn't following quite so much!

This Week:

 

2001- S Club 7- Don't Stop Movin'

 

 

The first song for this week is from I apologize I know we saw them last week but it is another song from S Club 7 with 'Don't Stop Movin' which was the lead single from their third studio album 'Sunshine'. This would have feature lead vocals from Bradley and Jo. This would go and reach #1 in the UK and become the first song in 3 years to have two runs at #1. This was probably their signature song, this is an anthem from them and it is a pop classic from them. I remember listening to this a heck of a lot. I remember thinking when thinking one of the lyrics was the ass club beat, not S Club beat.

 

 

2004- O-Zone- Dragostea Din Tei

 

 

This may not be a popular choice or not, but we have this from Moldovan pop group O-Zone. This would go and peak at #3 in the UK where it would stay in the UK Top 10 for 9 weeks, also known as the 'Numa Numa song' and was part of one viral video 'Numa Numa' from Gary Brolsma. In 2008 this was sampled by rapper T.I which featured Rihanna in 'Live Your Life'. This was everywhere when this came out, I was a fan of this and still am.

 

 

 

2006- Supermode- Tell Me Why

 

 

'Tell Me Why' was a song that was produced by Swedish DJs Steve Angello and Axwell under the name 'Supermode' This would interpolate two Bronski Beat songs which were 'Smalltown Boy' and 'Why'. This would go and peak at #13 in the UK. In the music video, it featured go karters having a race and three woman in there for some reason. This is a great tune from them, I think I remember liking it because there were go-karters in it at the time.

 

 

 

I adore Liene Candy's cover version of O-Zone hit, it was # 1 in my chart.

I wish there was more from that boyband. I feel like they arrived at a crucial time in my gay awakening :kink:

O-zone is naff but it's quite the tune ngl. 'Don't Stop Movin' is a pop banger and the Supermode track is great also!

Hi,

 

Thanks for commenting, :)

 

Sounds all right Liene Candy's cover version of the O-Zone hit, can't say I've ever heard this until now.

Don't think they ever did a follow-up to this here in the UK.

Hi.

 

Yes it's a bit naff, O-Zone but I enjoyed it, 'Don't Stop Movin' is indeed a pop banger and glad you are liking the Supermode track.

The lead signer from O-Zone Dan Balan put out this brilliant pop song in 2012:

 

This Week:

 

2001- Five- Let's Dance

 

 

'Let's Dance' was the first single from Five's third studio album 'Kingsize'. This would go on and peak at #1 in the UK becoming their 3rd and final UK #1. In the music video they had to use a life sized cardboard image of Swan Conlon as he had left the band. It can't say I remember this song that well, probably one of the forgettable 00s #1s in my view, although I may be wrong. This would be their penultimate single before they split up as a month later after this was released they announced their split. To find more on the rise and fall of Five, I would recommend this:

 

 

 

 

 

2003- Radiohead- Go To Sleep

 

 

'Go To Sleep' was the second single from Radiohead's sixth studio album 'Hail to the Thief'. This would go and peak at #12 in the UK. This would only stay in the UK Top 40 for two weeks with a chart run of 12-38 and the next week it dropped down to #55.

 

2008- Biffy Clyro- Mountains

 

 

'Mountains' was originally released as a non-album single for Biffy Clyro. But it would later be included on their fifth studio album 'Only Revolutions' the following year. This would go and become their highest-charting single in the UK by peaking at #5 in the UK. Was definitely a fan of this track when it came out, I don't really hearing it much until it was released. It was also used as a tribute to rally driver Colin McRae in Dirt 2.

 

This Week:

 

2000- The Corrs- Breathless

 

 

The first song for this week is from: The Corrs with 'Breathless'. This was the first single from their third studio album 'In Blue'. This would go and become their only UK #1. I remember when this came out, I thought they were singing 'Leave me Bradley' instead of 'Leave me breathless'. This is a song that I have in recent years become a staple in my playlist, it's a bloomin brilliant song from them.

 

 

2001- Robbie Williams- Eternity

 

 

'Eternity' was the fifth single from Robbie Williams' third studio album 'Sing When You're Winning. This was released a double A-side with 'The Road to Mandalay'. This would go and become Robbie Williams' fourth UK #1. I vaguely remember this from him when it was first released, and then seeing this on the music video channels, this is all right from him.

 

2005- Razorlight- Somewhere Else

 

 

'Somewhere Else' was featured as a bonus track on the re-release of Razorlight's debut album 'Up All Night'. This would go and peak at #2 in the UK which Razorlight's biggest hit to date at the time. This came 75th in my Top 100 Songs of the 2000s, I said this about it:

Amazing song this from one of the biggest indie bands of the 00s

. It still is an amazing song in my view.

 

 

'Somewhere Else' is such a blast, Razorlight's best song for me.

This Week:

 

2000- *NSYNC- It's Gonna Be Me

 

 

The first song for this week is from: *NSYNC with their follow-up to 'Bye Bye Bye', 'It's Gonna Be Me'. This was the second single from their third studio album 'No Strings Attached'. This would go and peak at #9 in the UK, in the US this would fare better and peak at #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 where it would stay at #1 for two weeks. this was a decent follow-up to 'Bye Bye Bye', I thought this peaked higher in the UK than #9. Might be just me but when Justin Timberlake sings 'It's Gonna Be Me', it sounds like 'It's Gonna Be May'.

 

2006- P!nk- U + Ur Hand

 

 

'U + Ur JHand' was the third single from P!nk's fourth studio album 'I'm Not Dead'. This would go on and peak at #10 in the UK, In the US this would fare one place better by peaking at #9 in the Billboard Hot 100. This is a great song from Pink, probably one that I have rediscovered this since starting these series. I think this did cause controversy because of the title of the song.

 

 

2008- Madonna- Give It 2 Me

 

 

'Give It 2 Me' was the second single from Madonna's eleventh studio album 'Hard Candy'. This would go on and peak at #7 in the UK, in the US this would peak at #57 in the Billboard Hot 100 where it would stay there for one week. This had backing vocals from Pharrell Williams where he would feature in the music video. This isn't one that I have heard for a while but nevertheless this still sounds great from Madonna. I wasn't sure at the time when it was released why Madonna suddenly sings 'get stupid' repeatedly during the song. This was produced by the Neptunes.

Doing next week's edition earlier as I'm away next week

 

This Week (21st September

 

 

2006- Muse- Supermassive Black Hole

 

 

 

The first song for this week is: 'Supermassive Black Hole' was the lead single from Muse's fourth studio album 'Black Holes and Revelations'. This would on and become their highest charting single in the UK by peaking at #4 in the UK. This is up there with one of my favourite Muse songs with this and 'Uprising'. This also featured in the FIFA 07 soundtrack.

 

2007- Axwell ft Max C- I Found U

 

 

'I Found You' was a song that was done by Swedish DJ Axwell which featured Max'C. This would go on and peak at #6 in the UK. I haven't heard this in years I can honestly say.

 

2009- Jason Mraz- I'm Yours

 

 

 

'I'm Yours' was the lead single from Jason Mraz's third studio album 'We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things...'. This would go on and peak at #11 in the UK where it would spend 29 weeks in the UK Top 40 in 2009. In the US this would fare better by peaking at #6 in the Billboard Hot 100. This seemed to be in the charts forever in 2009, it was a song that just wouldn't go away.

Muse and Jason Mraz!

 

They both came to slay with those, and slay they did!

This Week:

 

2003- Evanescence- Going Under

 

 

The first song for this week is 'Going Under' which was the second single from Evanescence's debut album 'Fallen'. This would go on and peak at #6 in the UK. Recently discovered this and it is a masterpiece from them, a decent follow-up to 'Bring Me To Life'.

 

 

 

2007- Scouting For Girls- She's So Lovely

 

 

Be warned, the next song may not be a popular choice but it is 'She's So Lovely' from Scouting For Girls' self-titled debut album. This would go on and peak at #7 in the UK, I would say this is a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

2008- Basshunter- Angel In The Night

 

 

'Angel In The Night' was the third single from Basshunter's debut UK album 'Now You're Gone- The Album' This was part 3 of the music videos which featured model Aylar Lie and followed up from his previous music video 'All I Ever Wanted'. This would go on and peak at #14 in the UK.

Past few weeks comments :

 

'Breathless' :wub: also I know it's not his most exciting single but I have always had a soft spot for 'Eternity' and bought it on CD!

 

--

 

'Give It 2 Me' was fine but a comedown from '4 Minutes' for me!

 

'Supermassive Black Hole' is a tune but I do prefer the 2 follow ups to it.

 

and 'I'm Yours' was a song I did enjoy to begin with but it never did sod off for a year practically. I might still enjoy it like the first time had I perhaps not listened to the chart every week :kink:

 

 

'Going Under' what a awesome track. First and only CD I have of Evanescence's. Should invest in getting Fallen tbh so it's in my collection at least. 'Angel In The Night' I enjoy a lot too, less said about Scouting for Girls though... personally speaking lol!

Doing next week's edition earlier as I'm busy next week

 

This Week:

 

 

2002- Nickelback- Too Bad

 

 

The first song for this week is: 'Too Bad' which was the second UK single to be released by Nickelback which was from their third sutdio album 'Silver Side Up'. This would go and peak at #9 in the UK, in the US this was released the year before where it would peak at #42 in the Billboard Hot 100. Again this is an unpopular choice probably here on Buzzjack, but I do particularly like this song from Nickelback.

 

2003- Busted- Sleeping With The Light On

 

 

'Sleeping With The Light On' was the fourth single from Busted's self-titled debut album. This would go on and peak at #3 in the UK. I have tried sleeping with the light on and it isn't something that I can do. I can remember in primary school that most people in my class were obsessed with this song. Probably one of their underrated songs and one that has probably aged well.

 

 

2004- Groove Armada ft Gramma Funk- I See You Baby (Fatboy Slim Remix)

 

 

'I See You Baby' was a re-release from Groove Armada which featured Gram'ma Funk, thanks to a Fatboy Slim remix and also featuring on a Renault Megane. Originally the song peaked at #17 in November 1999. Thanks to a reissue of this song from the compliation album 'The Best of Groove Armada' this would outpeak its original position which it would peak at #11. I can remember this song from the Renault advert and also wondered why I could get sent out of class at primary school for singing this during a Biology lesson. And also that awkward moment where you sing this during that Renault Megane advert and my parents walked in.

The Renault Megane advert:

 

 

A brilliant trio of songs. I don’t get all the hate for Nickelback and feel lots jump on the hate train because it’s the cool thing to do.

 

Much like automatically voting the girl group in every survivor this forum has but that’s a can of worms for another day when I’m feeling feisty.

People do be finding the concept of opinions incomprehensible in this forum recently :kink:

People do be saying things behind a screen that they know will get a reaction on a forum though recently :kink:

Yes, and you got my reaction so congrats :magic:

 

(I'm being a bit facetious but just noting this is the second time this week there's been a post here insinuating people are voting in polls for some reason other than expressing their actual opinion as if it's not possible that people might actually just not like certain songs/artists, I'm not sure what the implication being made is)
