January 2, 200817 yr some of those songs in your UK flops post I love...4 of them made my personal chart top 10: Paulina Rubio: #6 ATB: #3 No Angels: #2 French Affair: #2 and despite ATC's Around The World being a (massive) No.1 in my chart, they remained a one hit wonder and never charted again because I was insulted by the fact that My Heart Beats Like A Drum was almost identical... Yeah very similar, but big success, their 2nd #1 hit in Germany. Was it Daddy DJ or DJ Encore that was desqualified from charting in the UK? It was heading for a top20 debut.
January 2, 200817 yr Author don't recall hearing about Daddy DJ and it wasn't ever promoted here DJ Encore however, I was surprised that it was a flop, another top 10 hit in my chart so that was probably the one that was disqualified
January 2, 200817 yr Both used to be on the release schedule I remember. Surprised Daddy DJ wasnt released, peaked at #2 in Europe. tsAQDGYH_hY
January 2, 200817 yr Author I've never listened to the Daddy DJ song until today...I had heard about it though. It's not that great in my opinion That Tymes 4 song was a huge flop :o
January 2, 200817 yr Author Tymes 4 actually reminded me of this absolute gem for some reason (another relative flop) KEWxQ6AlPNM
January 2, 200817 yr Author and more pop garage (and the finest of the genre in my opinion, and yet another song that missed the UK top 10) mhV7cdsfkHo
January 2, 200817 yr all of those were playlisted on Radio 1 (including Tymes 4), but they flopped :( 3 great songs imo
January 3, 200817 yr Author All of the best garage seemed to go unnoticed in the UK while So Solid were clogging up the top end of the chart
January 3, 200817 yr Author funnily enough, both acts came to perform at my school (on separate occasions)! So Solid did just before they'd released 21 Seconds in about June 2001 so they weren't quite as controversial at that point in time Oxide & Neutrino came just before No Good 4 Me was released in December 2000 and were pretty good live actually the only other band that came to my school were...Scooch!
January 3, 200817 yr Author lol, lucky you :D I don't mind 21 Seconds though That was ok, as was their song that got disqualified in late 2000 the only good Oxide & Neutrino single was No Good 4 Me which I bought at the time (and still have)
January 4, 200817 yr Author yep, it missed the top 75...I remember hearing that it charted in the top 200 somewhere though I bought it from HMV on the same day as buying A Camp's I Can Buy You
January 10, 200817 yr Author This song was just a bit ahead of its time in my opinion...made No.4 in 2000 but is rarely talked about now: Tc1rbndWdVY
