Last Dreamer

“Firestarter” is the worst UK # 1 from 90s.

My 1993 charts were very non-mainstream, so possibly nothing from my hits. Maybe only Saint Etienne is popular enough for compilation, but their best 1993 single was peaked at # 12 in UK.

There are two-week window (until "Bye Bye Baby" and "Madchen"), when possibly I will have the most strangest # 1 in "Gražios Dainos" history.

9 for these songs and 1 for Daniel O’Donnell. :(

"This Will Be Our Year" by Beautiful South is a cover of Zombies song from 60s.

Winner : Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem - Almost Here oah-OYibXfw 8 : Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem - Almost Here 7 : Eminem - Like Toy Soldiers 6 : Duran Duran - What Happens Tomorrow 4 : 22-20's - Such A Fool 4 : Good Charlotte - I Just Wanna Live 4 : Wedding Present - I'm From Further North Than You 3 : Cam'ron and Mona Lisa - Girls 2 : Deeyah - Plan Of My Own 1 : Bloc Party - So Here We Are 1 : Lil Jon and East Side Boyz - Roll Call Average rate : 4 / 10 First 8/10 song !!! Delta already had three number ones ("I Don't Care", "Innocent Eyes", "Not Me, Not I") in my chart, but it was impossible to beat YVA debut hit. "Like Toy Soldiers" is my second favourite single from Eminem, only behind "Stan" (7.5/10). "What Happens Tomorrow" was very popular in Russian radio Maximum chart, where spent 16 weeks on the top and more than one year in top 20. Until this rate I never heard any Wedding Present songs before, but knew about their chain of "endless singles" from 1992 year. In the end we have a single from my least favourite group from 2000s Bloc Party and agressive gangsta "Roll Call".

36. Jessica Andersson - Kalla Nätter (2006) Rate - 7.5/10 DwKfvA7B1Us "Kalla Nätter" is her best solo Melodifestivalen entry, but one song from Fame is higher.

37. Timoteij - Kom (2010) Rate - 7.5/10 qB3koZTz8Pw Timoteij finished much lower than you could think. Elina Thorsell (flute) is my favourite member, she reminds me of Sarah Harding.

It's a little bit pointless in Wikipedia era, because if you wish to find a big UK hits there are already the lists with all (!!!) UK top 10 singles by years (from 1952 to 2024) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_UK_top-ten_singles Buzzjack compilations are OK, but genre/theme based (for sample like Britpop) is much more interesting thing.

That's why I love it. For me yearly compilations based only on UK chart peak position / popularity are super boring and non-interesting. Even personal yearly compilations are more interesting, because the creator of it can push his/her favourite UK flops in the list instead hated big hits. For personal compilations I had the idea for separating one year on two parts. The first one is for more popular songs, the second is like a personal recommendation to listen my low-known favourites. Someting like "1999 Hits" and "1999 Hidden Treasures".

Winner : Hanson - Penny And Me 0ZyWICp-I2I 6 : Hanson - Penny And Me 4 : Freefaller - Do This! Do That! 4 : Hal - What A Lovely Dance 4 : Amsterdam - The Journey 4 : Ashlee Simpson - La La 4 : Phixx - Strange Love 3 : Houston - Ain't Nothing Wrong 3 : One World Project - Grief Never Grows Old 3 : Ashanti - Only U 2 : Commander Tom - Attention 2 : Lovefreekz - Shine 1 : Xzibit - Hey Now (Mean Muggin') 1 : Mylo - Destroy Rock And Roll Average rate : 3.2 / 10 Hanson grew up and released good single "Penny And Me", please don't remind me about their irritating hit "MmmBop". Phixx is an average boyband with not memorable song. Ashlee was worse than her old sister, but honestly Jessica wasn't very successful in my charts. No surprises in a bottom of ranking, it's dance (Lovefreekz, Commander Tom) and urban (Xzibit, Ashanti) again and again. On the last place we have an unfunny musical joke (Destroy Rock And Roll).

Oceania is easy for compiling (Australia, New Zealand) For Africa I can use a trick with only South African schlager. :P LNTXDlv5TDw 3CdjNvlNW98

Your Schlager compilation was perfect for representing non-English language songs. The last one wasn't. I can try to compile unkown/non-mainstream compilations for many countries from continental Europe. All three Baltic sisters :heart: , Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, maybe also Switzerland, Belgium and Poland (for a hard challenge).

How Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem - Almost Here are in the worst ? WORST - Chemical Brothers - Galvanize BEST - Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem - Almost Here

Nothing from Mylene Farmer or she is unknown in UK ?

38. Pernilla Andersson - Desperados (2011) Rate - 7.5/10 3wmdT_KpxAs "Desperados" won with a small margin over "Vaken I En Dröm". Only in Melodifestivalen 2001 a battle for my # 1 was closer.

Šarka Members : Kristina Ivanova (blonde), Gintare Valaityte (ginger), Ieva Stasiulevičiute (brunette) Active years : 2012-2013 I wanted to start this topic with the introduction of Big 4, but found amazing song from 2012 year, which didn't know before. Šarka was a short lived Lithuanian girl group, which was created by three members from YVA 3.0 line-up. This song was recorded for Mother's Day. Suprisingly it's very good song with a nice melody and lyrics. I'm a big fan of YVA and Kristina, but all other Šarka songs were weak. Wf1XYXOS7Uw But possibly you will like "Heyo" more :

39. Elisabeth Andreassen - Vaken I En Dröm (2011) Rate - 7.5 / 10 GoCadXicnCk My favourite song from Elisabeth Andreassen, which was much better than all her Eurovision entries. I re-discovered "Vaken I En Dröm" in 2023 year, when compiled Euroseason - 2011 ( www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=267489 ).

I hate Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Possibly it's my least favourite Buzzjack compilation so far. Two OK Eurovision songs on French from CD4. Liene Candy's cover version of O-Zone hit was # 1 in my chart for 3 weeks. 0YU-1NQOCms Also I love LaFee tribute to Falco (Rock Me Amadeus). 4v1c4Gh4k3c

Firstly I bought a piracy version and only some months after got a legal album on a cassette. Still have first two albums only on a cassettes (and "Passion" on CD).

Your average score level is very high.

40. Velvet - DejaVu (2008) Rate - 7.5/10 HUIzfjRbPHc
