I Love #1s - 2001

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week Brian and his Beach Boys nabbed the most votes for 1966 with Good Vibrations (edging out Nancy and Mick'n'Keef) whilst Tom Jones was consigned to the Bin Of Oblivion!

2001 was PACKED with number ones! We've got a Sclub Children In Need song, debut singles from Bunton and Bedders, and a plasticene builder doing the Mambo. Tick away!

I agree... Play and Jenny From The Block were cracking tunes.

Madonna Syndrome i suppose i.e. her label don't like to license her tracks to UK compilations much - or NOW! people are just skinflints.

Play, Get Right and Control Myself are the only ones I can hack. 'Jenny From The Block' has a great intro tho. I recently tracked down the sample from that.

What, the 20th Century Steel Band one or the Enoch Light one? Kudos if you mean the latter.

I love my job sometimes

Indeed, J-Lo & Madge are both signed to the same publisher.
