September 21, 200816 yr I remember when Amerie's "Take Control" was released it was like #3 on iTunes, had great airplay and great video play. Most people thought it would at least go Top 3 which a chance of #1, then when it peaked at #10 :mellow: shocking.
September 21, 200816 yr Shakira - Whenever Wherever. Sold more than enough to be #1 in a normal week but it was released the same week as Will Young's first single for some stupid reason. A few more: Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm Black Eyed Peas - Shut Up Rihanna - SOS Dido - White Flag (did this go #1? I seem to remember it being #2)
September 21, 200816 yr SPICE GIRLS - STOP (Arguabley one of the most radio-friendly and popular songs, yet managed around 350,000 sales as a #2 record) GIRLS ALOUD - CALL THE SHOTS (Again one of their most popular tracks, peaking at #3 but becoming one of their biggest sellers) LEONA LEWIS - BETTER IN TIME/FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND (Really deserved #1!!) SPICE GIRLS - HEADLINES (FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS) (Hyped until the week of digital release.. then it all went wong!) ROBBIE WILLIAMS - RUDEBOX (Failed spectacularly!) HEAR'SAY - EVERYBODY (Peaked at #4 after being beaten out by the then-unkown Daniel Bedingfield) RACHEL STEVENS - SWEET DREAMS MY LA EX (Narrowly missed out on a #1, just like her other monster hit SOME GIRLS) S CLUB - SAY GOODBYE (Ahead in the midweeks but pipped by Saturday sales of R Kellys Iginition)
September 21, 200816 yr Not sure if this was mentioned, but the ultimate: Spice Girls - Headlines :lol:

September 21, 200816 yr I don't know how Geri Halliwell's Lift Me Up outsold Tin Tin Out/Emma Bunton' s What I Am. Not only LMU was a far worse song, but it was the third single from an album who was out for months, whereas WIA was only available by the single.
September 21, 200816 yr I preferred What I Am, although neither song was fantastic Tin Tin Out's finest moment was Here's Where The Story Ends, now there's a song that should have been a No.1!
September 21, 200816 yr Tin Tin Out's finest moment was Here's Where The Story Ends, now there's a song that should have been a No.1! I heard this song last week for the first time in AGES. Childhood flashbacks! :wub:
September 21, 200816 yr I preferred What I Am, although neither song was fantastic Tin Tin Out's finest moment was Here's Where The Story Ends, now there's a song that should have been a No.1! I agree. Back in 1990 with the original: n35C0j3LLB0 The Sundays - Here Where The Story Ends (1990) :wub:
September 21, 200816 yr Author if anything Jlo's "Waiting For Tonight" should've been Emma & Geri that week. By far the best song of the week
September 22, 200816 yr if anything Jlo's "Waiting For Tonight" should've been Emma & Geri that week. By far the best song of the week Couldn't agree more.
September 22, 200816 yr ROBBIE WILLIAMS - RUDEBOX (Failed spectacularly!) I remember Sky News saying that it was a strong candidate for No1, 'cos it was at No30 in the chart the day before it was released. What wasn't mentioned was that the Scissor Sisters were (I think) No4 with IDFLD, which came out the same day.
September 22, 200816 yr if a song was at No.30 now the week before its physical release, it would be a strong candidate for No.22 the following week :lol:
