The History Of Pop Part 49 aka Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A very mixed bag, Now 49 - for every Destiny's Child making a (somewhat delayed) bow in a Now poll, there's a Dido. For every Mis-Teeq, a Marti Pellow. A number of strong candidates should make for an intriguing poll.

The last Now poll was the closest for AGES, with Gorillaz finally beating Shaggy and Nelly F by one vote - "Clint Eastwood" is the lowest-rated winner ever, which makes up slightly for it being the first one I don't actually like.

both peaked at #2 i see. two years between them, i wonder which sold more?

Mis-Teeq with a BUMP 'n' FLEX!

Wasn't Scandalous in the charts for aaaaages? I'm sure it sold more.

Re: Mis-Teeq with a BUMP 'n' FLEX!

could've been lower singles sales generally at that point tho. they're probably roughly the same.

i think 'Scandalous' is just fresher in people's minds as it was more recent.

Scandalous was the 40th best selling single of 2003 (according to wikipedia), whereas All I want wasn't in the top 40 of its year, so Scandalous was a bigger relative hit. But single sales were much lower in 2003 so you could well be right. They are still both great songs though

Surely not! Third most well known I always thought - that brilliant line about "All I need to know is that the world is mine"!
