April 18, 20241 yr I discovered that Robbie x Kylie collab through the #2 listenthrough and I think it's pretty decent! Miracle is better than EWT imo, at least in its original form.
April 18, 20241 yr Author This Week: 2004- McFly- 5 Colours In Her Hair h76uVRSJ5bc '5 Colours in Her Hair' the song that introduced us to McFly taken their debut album 'Room On The 3rd Floor'. This would go on and reach #1 in the UK where it stay for two weeks. 2006- The Feeling- Sewn x1peC9_QOiE 'Sewn' was the debut single from The Feeling from their debut album 'Twelve Stops and Home'. This would go on and peak at #7 in the UK. 2007- Gareth Gates- Changes JQD14F0Yo3o 'Changes' was the first single from Gareth Gates' third studio album 'Pictures of the Other Side'. This would go on and peak at #14 in the UK, it would be the first single from him that would miss out on the Top 10, the following week it would drop out of the Top 40. Does this sample Radiohead's 'No Surprises'? u5CVsCnxyXg
April 25, 20241 yr Author This Week: 2000- Bloodhound Gang- The Bad Touch xat1GVnl8-k Explicit Version: 6f7pgA0riU8 'The Bad Touch' was the debut UK single from American alternative rock band Bloodhound Gang taken from their third studio album 'Hooray for Boobies'. This would originally enter the UK at #5, four weeks later it would reach a new peak of #4, quite rare in 2000 that a song would climb to its original peak. I did wonder why when I was at school that I got sent out for singing this although I was only 6. Top of The Pops Performance: gHj2yjuG3uc 2005- Freeloaders ft The Real Thing- So Much Love To Give q6P9-yHKA5k 'So Much To Give' was from British house music duo Freeloaders which feature a sample of 'Love's Such a Wonderful Thing' by The Real Thing. This would go on and peak at #9 in the UK, this is a decent dance tune from Freeloaders. Top of The Pops Performance: eg4taTTq5Ug Sampled: hBM7idY8CMk
May 3, 20241 yr Author This Week: (Sorry it's a day later) 2000- Lolly- Per Sempre Amore (Forever In Love) dV8teD-sZQ4 2001- Madonna- What It Feels Like For A Girl qYwgG2oyUbA 2002- The Chemical Brothers- The Test yhS9LnDoo_w Commentary will follow on a later date.
May 7, 20241 yr Author Forgot to include this for the 25th April edition: 2009- La Roux- In For The Kill tXtATeQ7GKg 'In For The Kill' was the second single from La Roux's self-titled debut album. This would go on and peak at #2 in the UK, this would come 21st in my Top 100 of the 00s, this is what I said about 'In For The Kill' It puzzles me to the day why this didn't get to #1. Fantastic song this from La Roux. The daughter of "The Bill" actress Trudie Goodwin. This was probably the most played song of 2009 that I listened to. I couldn't tire of this from La Roux although it is one that I haven't heard for a while. The Skream Remix for this is legendary. Skream Remix: 138AnFonZMg
May 9, 20241 yr Author This Week: 2002- Idlewild- You Held The World In Your Arms 9qmnV6R7WxI 'You Held The World In Your Arms' was the first single from Idlewild's third studio album 'The Remote Part'. This would go on and peak at #9 in the UK. I remember this song particularly for it being in the soundtrack of FIFA 2003. FIFA: KKVVTrk9FCA 2003- David Sneddon- Don't Let Go 'Don't Let Go' was the second single from Fame Academy winner David Sneddon's debut album 'Seven Years- Ten Weeks'. This would go on and peak at #3 in the UK. This is one that I haven't heard for a long time, at the time I can remember that I was a fan of this from him, I much preferred this to 'Stop Living the Lie'. Probably in the minority on here for liking this. 2003- Busted- You Said No dBNHf2lnNqg 'You Said No' was the third single from Busted's self-titled debut album. This would go on and become Busted's first UK #1, what was unique was Busted became the first act to have their first three singles to enter the top three in ascending order. Again this was one that I can remember that most people in my class very much liked this song.
May 16, 20241 yr Author This Week: 2005- KT Tunstall- Other Side of The World YUpbO-mpi74 'Other Side of The World' was the second single from KT Tunstall's debut album 'Eye to the Telescope'. This would go on and peak at #13 in the UK, it would stay in the Top 40 for five weeks. I can remember being a bit gutted at the time that this didn't chart higher for her. 2005- The Killers- Smile Like You Mean It ZAErD8xzjCM 'Smile Like You Mean It' was the fourth single from The Killers' debut album 'Hot Fuss'. This would go on and peak at #11 in the UK, this was one I definitely listened to when this came out. 2005- Kelly Osbourne- One Word u-WOeGPvJLM 'One Word' was the first and only single from Kelly Osbourne's second studio album 'Sleeping In the Nothing'. This would go on and peak at #9 in the UK, I think this sounded very similar to 'Fade To Grey' by Visage. One that I haven't heard for a while. Sampled: UMPC8QJF6sI
May 23, 20241 yr Author This Week: 2005- Studio B- I See Girls jt19IDvNr-g Original: 1QI6vd11bdw 2006- Infernal- From Paris To Berlin THt5u-i2d9k This really did happen kxCgVvzg38s 2007- Avril Lavigne- Girlfriend Bg59q4puhmg Commentary will follow on a later date.
May 30, 20241 yr Author This Week: 2000- Southside Spinners- Luvstruck Ej0WpJ9XR6w 'Luvstruck' was from a Dutch DJs Southside Spinners, this originally was released in July 1999 in the UK where it would peak at #85, however this would be re-released ten months later mainly thanks to this being used in the soundtrack of the film Kevin & Perry Go Large, where it would peak at #9 in the UK. Probably not one that I was familiar with at the time when this was released, but discovered this thanks to seeing Kevin & Perry Go Large, I very much prefer this to the film, sorry to anyone who is fan of the film Kevin & Perry Go Large. Music video with Kevin & Perry 2Drw9bJnkYw 2001- A-Teens- Upside Down ggiUMDccO0Y 'Upside Down' was the first single from Swedish band A*Teens' second album 'Teen Spirit'. This would go on and peak at #10 in the UK which would become the biggest hit that they ever had in the UK, I believe this was an ABBA tribute group. Can't say that I remember hearing this back then, this is all right from them. 2009- Pink- Please Don't Leave Me eocCPDxKq1o 'Please Don't Leave Me' was the third single from Pink's fifth studio album 'Funhouse'. This would go on and peak at #12 in the UK, in the US this would peak at #17 in the Billboard Hot 100. This was seemed to be everywhere on the music channels when this came out, the particular music video being a sort of ode to 'Misery'.
June 13, 20241 yr Author This Week: 2000- Stephen Gately- New Beginning iRpxU9_Zb7s 'New Beginning' was the debut single from Boyzone's Stephen Gately from his debut solo album 'New Beginning'. This would go on and peak at #3 in the UK, can't say that I remember this from Stephen, but this is all right from him. It was such as a tragedy when I heard the news that he had died aged 33 in 2009. He had the best voice out of the five from Boyzone. He is very much dearly missed. 2006- Embrace- World At Your Feet KZLyoBNCJek 'World At Your Feet' was the official song for the 2006 England World Cup squad in their 2006 FIFA World Cup campaign. This was featured on Embrace's re-released version of their fifth studio album 'This New Day'. This would go on and peak at #3 in the UK. This is one that I thought was all right at the time, it isn't one looking now where it features on football playlists when England are at a World Cup or Euros. For England it wasn't to be as they were knocked out of the quarter-finals in Germany thanks to a Rooney stamp, a Ronaldo wink, and a missed penalty from Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher. 2009- Little Boots- New In Town kUs9YzY7t-8 'New In Town' was the debut single from Little Boots from her debut studio album 'Hands'. This would go on and peak at #13 in the UK. Little Boots would top the BBC Sound of 2009 ahead of the likes of:White Lies Florence + The Machine Empire of the Sun La Roux Lady GaGa V V Brown Kid Cudi Passion Pit Dan Black Frankmusik Master Shortie Mumford & Sons The Big Pink The Temper Trap
