N-S

In this day and age, it's got to be Alicia Keys. Also The Killers and Linkin Park stand out. Of yesteryear, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Genesis, Ultravox.

Right Said Fred - 'I'm too sexy' over 'Deeply dippy'? A-Ha - 'Take on me' over 'The sun always shines on TV'? Blue - "All rise" over their three #1s? LeAnn Rimes - "How do I live" over "Can't fight the moonlight"? Stereophonics - "Just looking" or any other over "Dakota"? Busted - "Year 3000" over any of their #1s?

Britney seems to sing with a British twang at the beginning. Didn't like the song, though.

Did ever charted in the UK?

:lol:

That's more than 1 out of 4 Brazilians (population: 193 millions).

Agreed. But definitely bigger than CRJ.

Nevermind Celine. Nelly Furtado? Justin Bieber? Avril Lavigne?

In another day and age, a song that was #1 for 10 weeks would easily become that year's biggest seller and would not be hard to reach a million copies. But "Umbrella" was released in 2007...

Whiter Shade Of Pale

When people start doing their annual download of Fairytale Of New York and All I Want For Christmas Is You, they could download this (Florin Street Band - My Favourite Time Of Year) as well.

What a shame that Madonna never had a million seller.

Does he mean a minge?

Last Christmas I came across this song and I believe it can be a classic in the future, if someone famous covers it. H10f2w7T5CU And what a shame that this never got proper attention, even though this was recorded in 2000 at the peak of everything Britney. wrvebqA8xdM

One of the most legendary drops was Garbage's "Shut your mouth" from #20 to out of the top 75. Where did it actually chart in the 2nd week?

Heal #71 in the UK album chart

Was there ever a chart where there wasn't any former number One in the top 40? (Except of course the song at #1 at the time)

Portuguese parody of Gangnam Style: "Gamar com Style" ("stealing with style") by Portuguese comediant Pedro Fernandes featuring a bunch of Portugal's B to Z-list celebrities. The lyrics spoof Portugal's current political and financial crisis. ZgnJWT7i5Ig

The only Ke$ha song that isn't (promeninently) about getting wasted in the club.

SPACEDUST #1 Gym and Tonic #20 Let's get down

The singer was Carla Werner

Black Eyed Peas's "Where is the love" didn't credit Justin Timberlake, did it? MJ Cole "Crazy love" (Elizabeth Troy was only credited in "Hold On To Me") JX "There's nothing I won't do" (Sheena) Eminem "We made you" (Charmaigne Tripp)
