I Love #1's - 2000

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Last week Marvellous Marvin and his Gayers topped the ticks of '69 with 29 smackers for Heard It Through The Grapevine. Marmalade trailed in last with just 3. That's what you get for covering the rubbishest Beatles song! This week it's a new millennium and we have an ENORMOUS amount of songs for you to choose from, largely thanks to the major labels cottoning on to the fact that they could buy up a bunch of 99p singles themselves and propel their latest act straight to the top. But corporate spending power is no match for the legion of Manics fans...

"The Trouble With Me"- how perfect?

VERY. Though so far only 39.4% people think it is any good at all, which is an injustice.

What was the Barry White impersonator they had to use for the proper release called - Elroy 'Spoonface' Powell or something like that?

Barry White's original 1974 version was a No. 2 hit in the United Kingdon. The 2000 version, credited to Black Legend, originally sampled Barry White; however, White had not given permission for this, so the vocals were re-recorded by Black Legend member Elroy "Spoonface" Powell. The 2000 version, falling under the genre tribal house, was a hit across Europe, including No. 1 in the United Kingdom. It also reached No. 25 on the Australian ARIA singles chart.


TRIBAL HOUSE had a very short day in the sun.

Oh crap of COURSE. I love that tune but I'd forgotten what it was called.
