1999 was the year for Britney, Steps and Christina for me!

After the Spice Girls split I tried to keep up with the solo singles purchases, but then I couldn't be bothered and gave up after Mel B brought out her awful album

[meister]

Steps were great - well they were hit and miss for me... I either absolutely loved a song or completely hated it. There was never any middle ground. I did buy their first two albums though.

I think it's Britney's voice I hate more than anything. I also bought "Sometimes" that year - so she had two finest hours for me.

I liked Shaft - Sway too but didn't list it as I got sidetracked by the awful versions by PussyCatDolls etc. Now I've listened to it again I'll add it to my "likes".

[Jan]

10 (NE) Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You
12 (8) Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)
14 (NE) Alena - Turn It Around
20 (9) Diana Ross - Not Over Yet The Metro single mix is my favourate Diana Ross song of all time! Pure class.
21 (11) ATB - Don't Stop

26 (17) Phil Collins - You'll Be In My Heart
27 (16) Steps - After The Love Has Gone
29 (20) Britney Spears - (You Drive Me) Crazy

LOVED JUmp n Shout!!! Basement Jaxx have always remained consistent for a dance act. Pure quality.

Shouldn't this read "Not Over YOU Yet"? I liked this too - so many songs I forgot over the years. The mixes were great. I also remember thinking the song lyrics were "It's not a reunion".

[PurpleCareBear]

What a faaaaabulous chart !

1 (NE) Geri Halliwell - Lift Me Up ( the BEST song topped the chart . Yay !)
8 (4) Westlife - Flying Without Wings (heard it too many times on radio and got a bit sick of it,but I loved it when it was new).
5 (NE) Jennifer Lopez - Waiting For Tonight ( I bought her album after this.The first two singles were amazing but the album was so boring).
10 (NE) Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You ( Just GORGEOUS - the song AND Darren).
19 (18) Shania Twain - Man I Feel Like A Woman
20 (9) Diana Ross - Not Over Yet
23 (19) Tina Turner - When The Heartache Is Over

66 (69) Thunderbugs - Friends Forever (we'll be ...like Thelma And Louise.lol)

Oh, I loved B*Witched as well. They were FUN! I would have quite happily bought a third album!

From Wiki:

"In May 2007, Keavy Lynch suggested that the group are to fully reform after the former members were approached to join reforming Steps, Nsync, S Club 7, Atomic Kitten and the Vengaboys for a one off gig named The Battle of the Pop Bands."

How fabulous would THAT be?? However, the quote is from Wikipedia, so no doubt it is unconfirmed rubbish.

[PurpleCareBear]

Oh I'd LOVE that to be true.Sounds TOO good to be true though

Atomic Kitten are still performing together (YAY !!) and have recorded a cover of 'Anyone Who Had A Heart' for a compilation album of covers by Liverpudlians ,of songs that were number one for Liverpudlians.Or something.Sonia has done a track too.I forget who else as they were the only ones that interest me.

B*witched - I'd love them to reuinite but I can't see it happening.
The twins have been performing as a duo (as 'Keavy & Edel') - singing their new stuff as well as B*witched old hits.They've been pictured with Lindsay (i think she was at their gig ?)
There was a newspaper interview witht he twins about a month ago and one of them (I don't know which is which) said that Sinead won't speak to her.It was all a bit vague ,but word had gotten back to Sinead that a twin had said something bitchy about her (which she denies having said,or that the quote was twisted another way) and there's been frostiness between them ever since.

Oh well.

(L-R) Courtney and Cox :


Wot no denim ?!

[Smurfie]

Your pic didn't work.

How about this:



"Hoiya, we're B*witched, and we're out shopping!"

My love for them may warrant it's own thread!
