I Love #1's - 1998

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Oooooo-oo-ooooo-oo! 'Baby Love' was the top of the ticks for 1964, Diana & co just beating the Kinks and Sandie Shaw. The Bachelors didn't get a single vote, and will slomp off home infront of the telly with a microwave meal for one. Between all of them! This week we bid adieu to Girl Power, welcome back Madge and ponder the ultimate question: what would one resemble with a 'chimney' bestowed upon one in the near future? It's 1998!

Divergence between Briton and America

[justfanoe.livejournal.com]

Only two of these were also number ones in America, "My Heart Will Go On" and "Believe". Actually, very few of these were hits in America as well. I can't be bothered to check for sure, but the only other ones that strike me as having been hits in the USA are "You Make Me Wanna", "Frozen", "Goodbye", and "C'est La Vie". B*Witched are one hit wonders in the USA, Spice Girls were huge, many of these were 0 hit wonders (All Saints, Billie, etc.)

Did All Saints really not chart at all in the US? Somehow I thought both Under the Bridge and Pure Shores were definitely transatlantic hits

Egad, acc. to Wikipedia, "Never Again" did hit in the States, which I have no recollection at all. No, "Pure Shores" and "Under the Bridge" didn't hit here at all.

Pure Shores = worst video ever. Like srsly girls, sort it out. Film tie-in videos are never great, but DUDES we can't even SEE you without nightvision goggles!
