The motley crew have been banished to an island far far away. “Barry Islands In The Stream” was created by the “Gavin And Stacey” characters for Comic Relief. It reached #1 in March 2009 but had a rather ungraceful 1-3-23-51 chart run, leading to it missing the year end Top 100. At the time Sir Tom Jones’ feature on the record made him the oldest #1 artist: Captain Sir Tom Moore holds it now of course.

Craig for me - what a dreary bit of sampling. At least Fergie tried to do something different even if the end product was a mess.

Switching to Craig David now.

I actually knew 'Hot Stuff' before 'Let's Dance' (I was 10 when the former was released) but have no desire to return to it now.

Switching to Fergie (shouldn't it be Tower Bridge anyway 😆)

Continuing to chip away from the bottom and going for Craig David - not good at all.

Gone for Fergie but equally fine with Craig going although I did chart that top 10 at the time but it's not great listening back.
