I fixed Sir Creep's math on Prodigy as well.

Boyzone and Mmbop had wrong placement too so I fixed that.

Just fixed Gina G and 2 Spice Girls too.

And Various Artists Perfect Day.

[lilham 752]

I think multiple people were going through the list at the same time, so the math was screwed up, but I have checked all and the above should be correct!

 

I have time right now to math as I've been on hold with the pharmacy for 1 hour, 15 minutes, as they haven't filled my meds for pneumonia in the 40 hours they received my 3 scripts and even deleted 1 of my meds.

[Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,282]

Charity singles, boyband rubbish, Robson and Jerome. About a dozen to get rid of before I even contemplate downvoting the teletubbies...

Thanks for beating me in the posting of this. @Book

[ladyfiona 2,585]

Fun fact - Aqua's Barbie Girl was first single/album bought for me as a child. I may have a lot of dance routines to a lot of Spice Girls songs and I have no regrets. Also if I get tickets to Busted tour in September i'll be also seeing Hanson, lol.

 

It took me until I was early 20's to realise how sexual that song is and I was bought that song when I was 7....

Not sure anyone who champions Three Lions should be taking any artistic high ground.

 That's not really due to its artistic qualities, but I'm a big football fan and it did a great job of helping to unite English fans around Euro 96. Was a toss-up between that and The Drugs Don't Work.

If I had to pick the six to go through right now, it would be Firestarter, Your Woman, Don't Look Back In Anger, Beetlebum, Three Lions and Breathe. But going by the awful taste seen in previous rounds, I don't expect more than two of those to make it while you send some shite like Olive through!

In order: No, fuck yes, fuck no, fuck yes, fuck no, maybe.

 

As for Olive…fuck yes.

Does 48 number 1s in two-years imply that there was lots of good stuff around or that most of them were pretty shit bought by people with limited attention spans? FWIW, I know 26 out of the 48. Of those 26 10 are immediate candidates for downvoting (though one has mercifully gone already)

I gave Spice up your life +1 (stop smirking at the back) but somewhere in the correcting that was going on it has gone back to 20 while 2 become 1 (which is rubbish) has gone up to 21 instead. Maybe next poster could rectify this. Thanks.
