'crazy'

'Is this the way to Amarillo?'

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 10:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Dom, what is this "only got to #4"? top five surely means popular?

Also don't some songs have a longer radio life/period of popularity that isn't reflected by chart position?

― permanent revolution (cis), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, but "1 Thing" hasn't had that. "Crazy in Love" has.

"1 Thing" did have a proper chart run, didn't drop down to #18 in the second week, so it does qualify as a "proper hit single."

Dr C, we need to chat.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Shall I call you on your 'mobile phone'?

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Dr C, you've got email.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:43 (eighteen years ago) link

What? No Ghost Town, Dr C?

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Dr C, how could you leave Blu Cantrell & Sean Paul off your list?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Ghost Town is number 21!!

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Replace Jumping Jack Flash with GT and that list is spot on. Maybe swap Rebel Rebel for Ashes To Ashes too though.

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 11:55 (eighteen years ago) link

lex, what do you make of dr c's list? which is the made-up name?

― the confusing situation Enrique currently endures (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Rebel Rebel wasn't a number one.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:03 (eighteen years ago) link

No Baccara, No Credibility.

― Action Tim Vision (noodle vague), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:07 (eighteen years ago) link

jtn was otm, 'amarillo' was indeed a biggety-bomb track, but there have been non-urban ones since -- 'hung up' fo sho.

― the confusing situation Enrique currently endures (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:11 (eighteen years ago) link

the last Song X before 'Crazy' = 'My Humps', like it or not

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:13 (eighteen years ago) link

in a sense 'my humps' will always be song x.

― the confusing situation Enrique currently endures (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Pussycat Dolls "Don't you wish your girlfriend etc" had to be one too

― Mark Co (Markco), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Disqualified for Jeffrey Archer reasons.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:18 (eighteen years ago) link

which one?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:19 (eighteen years ago) link

'my humps' is more of a song x than any other song ever has or will be ever again. 'my humps' is the ultimate...something. HUMPS

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:24 (eighteen years ago) link

you can look but you can't touch it if you touch it I'MMA
start some DRAMA
you don't want no DRAMA
no no DRAMA
no no no no DRAMA
so don't pull on my HAND BOY
you ain't my MAN BOY
i'm just tryna DANCE BOY
and move my HUMPS

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:25 (eighteen years ago) link

how can you just leave me standing?

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:28 (eighteen years ago) link

alone in a world that's so cold?

― the confusing situation Enrique currently endures (Enrique), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:30 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe i'm just too demanding

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Charlie Chaplin made us laugh

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Rebel Rebel wasn't a number one.

Shit, it appears you are right Marcello. Although I was only 4 in '74 so have no real time memory of the record being in the charts. I was convinced that I'd heard it was a chart topper. Ashes To Ashes can stay then.

Actually, no, replace it with Sugar Sugar or I Heard It Through The Grapevine.

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 12:40 (eighteen years ago) link

1 Thing's major problem - out in the same week as Coldplay and Crazy Frog, and you can't have three songs in a chart battle, as THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN. Hence all attention is focused on RIGHT versus WRONG, thus meaning that Amerie was kind of left dawdling on the sidelines (in the UK anyway). Then again, was it #1 anywhere else?

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 13:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Damn - I forgot God Save The Queen in my list.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 16 May 2006 13:20 (eighteen years ago) link

...eight weeks.

(nme news :)

The track - by duo Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse - is now the most successful single released in Britain in over a decade, beating Tony Christie's '(Is This The Way To) Amarillo' which clocked-up seven weeks at number one last year.

Wet Wet Wet's chart topper 'Love Is All Around' is now ahead of Gnarls Barkley in recent chart history with its 15 weeks at number one in 1994.

― pisces (piscesx), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:34 (eighteen years ago) link

how is 1994 recent chart history!

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Hello complaining people. "I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker" by Sandi Thom is going to #1 next week. I hope you're all happy with yourself.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:44 (eighteen years ago) link

what is that song? is it like ashlee simpson?

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:46 (eighteen years ago) link

It's like a really really really rubbish Paula Cole.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:47 (eighteen years ago) link

It's the most rockist song since NWA's "Express Yourself".

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:48 (eighteen years ago) link

It's 'We will rock you' crossed with Janis Joplin's "Mercedez Benz" or something.

Amber and Alice were kinda 'unbothered' about it. So, the kids are alright.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:49 (eighteen years ago) link

it sounds bad, but not as bad as idlewild or ordinary boys. why is it going to no 1? i have not heard of it.

why is christina milian not going to no 1?

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Radio 2 now controls the charts, nobody under the age of 27 is buying music anymore.

Death to those who have a mortgage.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 22 May 2006 09:51 (eighteen years ago) link
