8 hours ago8 hr 'Once' I didn't like, the chorus was too repetitive. Preferred the follow up single.'We No Speak Americano' was good at the start but I got bored of it being on the music channels too much.10 minutes ago, Jade said:'We No Speak Americano' was a fun and quirky chart moment! Love that you mentioned 'Why Don't You' by Gramophonedzie as well. Both of them scratched an itch for me before I'd properly delved into retro music, with those old school samples. I heavily associate electro-swing with 2010 and also 2015 due to Electro Velvet (!) in Eurovision and Caravan Palace being sent to BJSC at the end of the year too, 'Lone Digger' really expanded my horizons - absolute banger.All those plus Doop - Doop obviously starting it in 1994!Yeah I really liked that Caravan Palace song and wished it would have been a hit. Don't forget about Caro Emerald in the early 2010s too! Also Sailor - Girls Girls Girls is a song from the 70s I discovered that kinda had that sound too. Edited 8 hours ago8 hr by TheSnake
8 hours ago8 hr I quite liked that Diana Vickers song. A forgotten gem.She had quite a distinctive voice. However, I can't remember anything else she did.
7 hours ago7 hr 'Once' is probably my favourite, it's such a truly unique pop song. She SO deserved better afterwards though - 'Music To Make The Boys Cry' is an absolute masterpiece.
7 hours ago7 hr f*** you , still ceelos best such a bop , and gwen paltrows cover of it on glee is iconic tooWe no speak Americano i can take or leave Once is such a bop a great introduction to Diana shame her career pretty much peaked here as she was so unique, the whole Music to make boys Cry era was criminally overlooked
7 hours ago7 hr 'Once' would probably be top 3 for me in this countdown. It's excellent.Oops at it going to ACR in its third week though 🙊🙊🙊Seriously... FOUR WEEKS TOP 40?! I was certain this lasted longer than 'Dirtee Disco', apparently not. Seems it had the worst chart run of all the regular #1s. Absolutely blasphemy!
