[Sir Creep 7,070]

Ok so like I did for the previous list, I took a look-see at America’s number 1 songs.  In general they all ALL suck.  Interestingly we only had about 9 songs all year 1996 (seeing as we have over 30 to vote on).  But before I look at 1997, I’d like to ask just where the HELL this song is — it topped the charts here for an astounding FOURTEEN weeks — but it isn’t in the U.K. list.  Explain what the hell you were listening to August, September, and October 1996…

We were listening to real music, not that tat.

This round had 2 Bee Gees covers. I wonder if any other band has achieved this?

[lilham 757]

Did the UK even have any Spanish #1s prior to Despacito?
Maybe that's why they missed out on Macarena: that was when the US was about to enter its Latin Explosion.

Oh me too. But I've been good and voted for what I prefer as a song. I like a lot of Bowies stuff but not really the things made #1 so that's one I can think of.

 

However I've definitely downvoted things that weren't my least favourite though, either because I knew damn well something I detested more than what I actually chose was going to go anyway, or in order to facilitate a faster finish by joining with others on the last circling the drain whether I liked it or not.

But I haven't voted up anything I don't much like because of an artist I did. Shrug.

 

Not as squeaky clean as I'd like maybe, but I can live with myself.

 

In most cases even though the No.1 singles have not been the best songs by that artist they are still usually above the common fare. Three Lions is the only song on The Lightning Seeds GH album that I would skip. However I am a Tori Amos fan but will not be upvoting Professional Widow

Hadn't heard either of the Gary Barlow offerings before, and frankly don't wish to ever again.

[TQR 14,402]

Quite a frustrating round, this.

 

Beetlebum is one of Blur’s best and should be way higher up than it is.

Good though Firestarter is, Breathe is the (much) better Prodigy offering.

Babylon Zoo being forgotten about? Like it or don’t, that’s mad.

Oasis, as normal, doing well representing the emotionally stunted van driver who plays keepy-uppy with their beer belly.

No Doubt is very good but it’s not head and shoulders above the rest.

Lots of time being wasted on Baddiel & Skinner when it should’ve been binned by now.

Olive getting attacked by a few people, one of whom an ignorant cretin.

Did the UK even have any Spanish #1s prior to Despacito?
Maybe that's why they missed out on Macarena: that was when the US was about to enter its Latin Explosion.

 

 

La Bamba was a #1 Hit in the 80s.

Begin the Beguine (Volver a empezar) in 1981 comes to my mind.

And The Ketchup Song (Asereje) in 2002.

School disco banger for people my age. Shuddersome.
