N-S

The vocals in the chorus were quite different from those in the verses, so I always had my doubts that Natasha was singing the full song. However the lyrics are different. In Everyman they go: "No one said that the road would be paved all smooth and nice" And in Sal Soul Nugget: "If you wanna right the rumble with me babe all through the night" so maybe it wasn't directly sampled from there.

Sal Soul Nugget is a baninging tune.

My choice and my favourite song of hers KATY PERRY // Firework AMY WINEHOUSE // Back to black JESSIE J // Breathe SHAKIRA // Underneath your clothes KIM WILDE // You came ADELE // Someone like you PALOMA FAITH // Only love can hurt like this DONNA SUMMER // No more tears (Enough is enough) CELINE DION // It's all coming back to me now JANET JACKSON // That's the way love goes MARIAH CAREY // The roof BEYONCE // I was here TORI AMOS // Winter KATE BUSH // Wutering Heights LEONA LEWIS // Bleeding love CHRISTINA AGUILERA // Reflection

I always prefered Inside All The People to Chase The Sun. Think About Me is my favourite Artful Dodger tune. Michelle's vocals are heavenly.

The only UK#1 by a fellow countrymate of mine! And what a fabulous tune it is.

Now for a round-up of dance hits in 2000 oh7tmcDcMt0

It seems the first star of the Games was the flag bearer from Tonga

It must be Finland only, because for what I know, in most countries "Stay With Me" is by far the Sam Smith standard.

Norwegian rock band Wig Wam, of Eurovision 2005 fame, covered "I Turn To You" G_RCg8C0w40

At least the UK was spared of an even worse treatment of a well-known song as the follow-up single. Other countries were not so lucky. F67GIACVF_o "Somebody" is easily the best Black Legend track, which is not saying much. SrIVhZkgVFo

Let's enjoy the original, shall we? oHLewcdIWlw

I always loved the Toca's Miracle video with the female futsal game. From the goalie wearing heels and liming nails during the game to Coco shaking her boobs while lipsynching. And of course Coco had to be the top scorer of the game.

I will never forget that chart week where the top 6 was new entries (Fill Me In, Flowers, Song For The Lovers, The Bad Touch, Deeper Shade Of Blue, Blow Ya Mind) plus Rank 1's Airwave new at #10.

I adored Chicane back in the day, Offshore and Saltwater are nothing short of masterpieces. Don't Give Up is good but somehow underwhelming in comparison with those two.

The obscure downtempo 3rd single DZ8PfXOV1fU

Since it was based around Harry's Game, we can also count Chicane's Saltwater (#6, 1999)

Judy Clay & William Bell - Private Number (911's version was bascially also a duet between Lee Brennan and Natalie Jordan) Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - You're All I Need To Get By (Ain't No Mountain Enough was only #80 in the UK!) Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams - Too Much Too Little Too Late Michael McDonald & Patti Labelle - On My Own Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin - Je T'aime Moi Non Plus Barbra Streisand & Bryan Adams - I Finally Found Someone

Lambada Samba De Janeiro Return To Innocence Sweet Lullaby Rock Me Amadeus

It's one of the cases where the combination of song and music video was perfect.

This is my favorite track from Ann Lee's album (in fact it was the 4th single, a cover of Ring My Bell being the third) vEOfQNIh8ew

"In Ibiza skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

From where was the "Ay bikini!" part sampled?

I just found out that some of Shirley Bassey's signature songs, This Is My Life and Goldfinger were never proper chart hits. When Dame Shirley dies, chances are these two song can have finally chart impact.
