Posted April 22Apr 22 CHART BATTLE REWINDRewinding back 25 years now for a chart battle between rising dance queen Sonique and the pop group of the moment, S Club 7! Sonique originally released It Feels So Good back in 1998 where it only reached #24. But due to its success in the US, it received a UK re-release in May 2000, the same week S Club 7 were gearing up for the release of their much-anticipated Reach, a primary school disco staple in the early 00s. Sonique won the battle, blocking S Club 7 for THREE weeks straight and giving them their third consecutive #2 hit!But which is your number one? Vote above.

April 22Apr 22 Both classic tracks but I prefer Reach really, and it's a shame it was stuck behind Sonique for all three weeks. Seems crazy that such an iconic song only got to No.2, when they had several No.1s (granted three of those are also considered huge pop classics), but that's the luck of the chart draw.
April 22Apr 22 Ooooooh I don't know. At the time I much preferred 'It Feels So Good' which I still love and is a 2000 classic, but over the last few years 'Reach' has really crept up - it truly goes off on a night out!I might need to come back to this. Or flip a coin.
April 22Apr 22 My favourite fact about It Feels So Good is that when it initially charted in 1998 at No.24, it had different production with more strings in the mix, a bit like her version of I Put A Spell On You. I think both versions are good, but I can see why it was stripped to a more minimal version for the 2000 re-release.You can hear the original at 5 minutes into the chart show from the time.
April 22Apr 22 Really tough but I'm voting for Sonique. 'It Feels So Good' just edges it for me i think <3
April 23Apr 23 Voted for ‘It Feels So Good’ which is one of my favourite dance songs ever ‘Reach’ is good fun though - a euphoric top 2 in general
