I'd have thought that there'd have been a new-wave band from France, but I guess they were all British and German. And Technotronic was Belgian.

Don't forget Daft Punk. Both "Around the World" and "One More Time" reached #61 on the Hot 100. Although, I'm not sure those really qualify as hits. I'm actually surprised they got that high.
― matt2, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 18:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Wait, really? I didn't even look them up because I assumed they wouldn't have placed at all. Wow.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
dude "Around The World" was pretty big

That was during my dark period, admittedly.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 18:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, it really was, but to me it seemed like it was something I would've expect to be number one on the Club chart but maybe not on the Billboard 100.
― matt2, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 18:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay, whenever I heard the "it's too late to apologize" line I immediately want to sing "and I can't beeeeee without you babe".

...and "Music Sounds Better With You" reached #62. Daft Punk be placin' in the low 60s.

warning track power
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 February 2008 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Crazy. I seriously thought for a long time that "Music Sounds Better With You" was like blog-house or something; I didn't hear it until 2004 (probably via an ILX poll) and had no idea it was from the '90s, much less a semi-popular song.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow, I really can't believe that about "Music Sound Better With You." I don't ever recall seeing that anywhere on MTV or even late night radio mix shows (the only place you really heard dance music in NC). I mean I saw the video to "Around the World" many times and would hear it around occasionally, but never "Music Sound Better With You." This reminds me that I had "Around the World" on a Virgin label sampler record store cassette freebie thing. On of my roomie's hated it, but two of us loved it so it saw many rewinds. As a college student, I collected those free in store cassette/cd things like crazy. Okay, I'll stop now.
― matt2, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah I never heard it until well after the fact, either.

you guys are weird as fuck!!!
― deej, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:18 (sixteen years ago) link
the song got played the hell out from the time it dropped for like the next three years
― deej, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Rev isnt weird he's just young but the rest of you ...!

xp Well, let's be honest, Rodney was like 5 years old at the time, and I was only listening to records on Matador and Thrill Jockey.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:21 (sixteen years ago) link
this felt kind of ubiquitous at parties i was going to tho
― deej, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:21 (sixteen years ago) link
I was about 12 at the time, and that didn't stop me from hearing "Around the World" when it came out.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Deej, I have always had a feeling that your parties have been v. different from mine. Most of the parties I went to in college involved putting on Moby's Play at midnight and Pinkerton at 2 AM.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:24 (sixteen years ago) link
oof Moby!! i mean they played the strokes at every indie kid party i went to my fresh. year but msbwy still seemed pretty ubiquitous
― deej, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:33 (sixteen years ago) link
i couldn't imagine hearing one more time or around the world on the radio but i assumed they were both pretty ubiquitous
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:51 (sixteen years ago) link
i heard "one more time" quite frequently..."around the world" not so much
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 22:52 (sixteen years ago) link
werent you like 7 years old when 'around the world' came out
― deej, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Recently I heard "One More Time" followed by "I Believe I Can Fly" on the radio. That was pretty wtf.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 23:06 (sixteen years ago) link
yes, but i grew up watching MTV.

Janet's Discipline is kicking my ass! There are really only 2 duds as I see it--"Never Letchu Go" and "Greatest X". Otherwise I've been listening to this straight through over and over. Even the skits are hilarious, especially "Good Morning Janet" where she sounds like she's emerging from some sort of embryonic cocoon before some counseling from Keoko. The Missy track is maybe a bit lacking (with Missy insisting that "This is crazy!"), but I think it's growing on me.
Overall I had very low expectations for this so I'm pleasantly surprised. I hope it's received well. I feel like if this had come out before her last two relative duds, it would be welcomed with open arms.

WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT THE BUCKCHERRY SINGLE?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 February 2008 22:05 (sixteen years ago) link
i really like it
alex how do you feel about it?
sub-"Delilah"
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 22:57 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, "Sorry" does nothing for me. "Everything" was about as wussy a song as I'm interested in hearing from Buckcherry, and I didn't even like that one that much. can't believe they're working the 5th single from a 2-year-old album.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 23:02 (sixteen years ago) link
^^plain white t's strategy
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 27 February 2008 23:06 (sixteen years ago) link
not really -- PWT have one hit song, which they kept re-releasing over and over (on an album, then an EP, then on another album) until it finally became a smash, where Buckcherry released a bunch of singles off one album and two were very gradual sleeper hits, and they finally took that momentum and knocked it out of the park with a big instant ballad hit.
― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 23:11 (sixteen years ago) link
so we should see some big movers next week with 'no air' (hear this all the time now, jumped 11 spots), 'love in club' and 'elevator' (which jumped 70+ spots this week) all in the itunes top 5

Leona Lewis, Simon Cowell's pet project over in the UK, is making dents on the charts here already with Bleeding Love. She's going to get the Idol bump (maybe performing on elimination night after the Beatles ep?) so look out for her.
― musically, Friday, 29 February 2008 06:35 (sixteen years ago) link
btw i meant big movers into the top 10, hopefully we can finally say good riddance to apologize and no one
