I Love #1s - 2001

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!

[Poll #766638]

This turns out to be a good year - lots of 6s and 7s in Popular terms.

I ticked "Queen Of My Heart" by the 'Loife, not because it's a particularly good song, but because it's the best Westlife No.1 that wasn't a cover of something already good and famous. And I have them all, so I know whereof I speak.

wait, isn't Queen Of My Heart' the one that completely 'rips off' 'Mull Of Kintyre'??!

That's why it's good! Their style turns out to be well suited to "Mull Of Kintyre"!

Actually "Fool Again" is alright too.
