From the last mentioned songs "All The Things She Said" and "Don't Stop The Music". I have somewhat a weak spot for the Cheeky Girls. At least the Cheeky song was fun. theis accent is very funny. Need to re-listen to "Have A Cheeky Christmas" - that one is really cringe.

167. I’M YOURS- Jason Mraz (381,400)

YEAR: 2008

PEAK POSITION: 11

WKS ON CHART: 51

 

Long runner alert!  Nothing on this list (so far) gets anywhere near the 51 weeks this was around for, Mraz was actually on his third album when this broke him in the UK, and this is actually one of only 2 tracks on the list to miss the top 10 here.  It did even better in the US where it charted on the Billboard Top 100 for a record (at the time) 76 weeks.

166. MAMBO NO 5- Bob The Builder (381,500)

I suppose in retrospect the chances of Bob The Builder getting a second No 1 without the help of the festive season were very slim but so it proved.  Indeed Bob The Builder was the first novelty act to score multiple chart toppers in the UK, it opened with 102k of sales in September 2001 but was removed from the playlists of some radio stations (Radio 2 for example) the week after as it was deemed inappropriate in light 9/11 with its references to construction.

Signed up by Wyclef Jean after he saw them performing, he went even further producing this debut track for them.  It originally featured on the soundtrack to the 1999 film “Life” but was remixed to sample Dr Dre’s “The Next Episode” for the final single version.  They didn’t make it to album 2 breaking up in 2003.
