Shuffling back to the U.K. again as 'The Bad Touch' is brilliant

I don't really like the comedy rap in Bloodhound Gang but the Pet Shop Boys style production is very good so I still voted for it.

'The Bad Touch' definitely!

Had no idea Madasun were that big in Australia.

One of my favourite international chart facts is that Madasun had such a big hit in Australia with that, it was a fleeting girlband top 20 single here and completely forgotten. Not even sure it's one that has a cult fanbase here like Supersister, Girls@play, Solid Harmonie, Made in London and loads of others that failed to crack the top ten here.

So I've always been curious as to why it took off that much in Australia, did they do a lot of promotion there? It's quite a nice song, with good production, but other acts were peddling the same sound with more personality.

Anyway, I'm voting for The Bad Touch. I listened to it earlier today in fact before this thread was posted.

Yeah, I always find it a little odd it did so well here compared to the UK.

I don't recall there being any promo, though I could be wrong. Though there must've been if it got all the way to #6 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Nothing else from them made the top 40 here, unlike in the UK.

Walking On Water #14 UK & #83 Australia

Feel Good #29 UK & #45 Australia

“The Bad Touch” is one of my favourite songs of the year! “Don’t You Worry” is pretty good for a 2000 girlband hit though.

Even more bizarre then that they were essentially a one hit wonder there! Walking On Water was pretty good, I can't remember the other song without checking it.

Yeah I’m the same, I can remember Walking On Water, no recollection of the latter.

Not that I think it mattered or had anything to do with it but it was out at the same time Madison Avenue were at their peak in Australia. I remember being initially confused between Madasun and Madison Avenue.

Though that probably says more about 12 year old me, than the general record buying public of Australia. 😂

Bloodhound Gang. A classic!

I initially thought I was going to go with Madasun, but I’ve opted for The Bloodhound Gang. My brother loved the song, it was on heavy rotation for weeks.
