best run of 3 or more Hot 100 #1 singles from one album

yeah haha at first i was like 'man forever yr girl isn't even as good as the xina nevermind janet and madonna' but by the time i finished remembering the non-#1s i'd ended up selling myself on it. that in living color thing is really crazy mean, the sort of piling on that makes me think there is something behind the scenes, like maybe she jilted a wayans or something. by the time this came out (only 3 years later!) she felt like ancient history, there was this implied 'is PAULA ABDUL really gonna make a comeback?' in the air -

i'll take it over 'pumps and a bump'. probably the closest anyone associated w/ american idol has come to making a massive attack track.

I think Spellbound made the New Jersey list.

I'm sure I've splattered my love for Spellbound over Forever Your Girl on a few threads already. If it had been on the New Jersey poll, I would've voted for it.

I had dumbfounded that Wilson Phillips had 3 #1s, I guess history has boiled their career down to "Hold On". I did recognize "You're in Love", but not "Release Me".

otm on "Knocked Out" sounding like Pebbles.

I'm surprised the third Wilson Phillips #1 is "You're In Love" and not "Impulsive"

not that I like either song mind you

Alfred otm about Impulsive being their best single

that is super OffTM

that is their drippiest song with the worst singer in the group on lead

The guitars and chorus bring it.

I admit to being irrationally angry with this song because I always thought Wendy was the most attractive member and it really pissed me off that she was the worst singer

I also thought that Wendy was the most attractive until I saw Chyna in the Invisible Kid and then promptly changed my mind

The one who sounds and looks like Graham Nash was the cutest.

wendy was totally the hottest one. i remember some dude in english class doing this thing on how 'release me' was about a woman whose boyfriend was trying to pressure her into having an abortion, some real 'actually evangelicals are the REAL feminists' stuff, to which my rebuttal was 'you are an idiot'.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Milli Vanilli (1989) Girl You Know It's True 4

Nobody had anything to say about this album itt, surprised to see 4 votes for it.

Bad should have been higher.

tbh the Milli Vanilli trio is pretty strong, at least in the sense that they're all pretty equally catchy and if you like one you prob like them all

Not saying they weren't, though like I mentioned upthread "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" was actually #1 and not "Girl You Know It's True" and that's a weak link IMO. I wonder if they would've had the same votes, but nobody talked about them.

ahhh wow yeah you're right! my fault for not doublechecking the info before i posted it i guess. pretty weird that some song i've never heard hit #1 and not arguably their most famous song.

'girl you know it's true' is obv the best milli vanilli single but i actually love 'girl i'm gonna miss you', total end of summer camp 'I PROMISE I'LL WRITE' melodrama (um, i would guess). never cared for by-buh-by-by by-buh-by-by baby don't forget my number.

all the girls I knew then loved "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You." I can't separate it and Madonna's "Cherish."

madonna apparently hates 'cherish' now, regards it as stupid and corny. explains alot.

dag

Madonna in inaccurate quality control shocker

she also hates "Material Girl"

i could never tell how much that was about her hating the song or if it was mainly that she hated being called 'the material girl'

Madonna reasonably OTM in both cases. I wonder how she feels about Erotica these days.

I love "Cherish" I don't care what she says. "Baby Don't Forget My Number" is a pretty forgettable (no pun!) carbon copy of "Girl You Know It's True".

KATY PERRY SHUTOUT

I love "Material Girl"!

ditto. the bling bling sounds!

Madonna OTM re: "Cherish", I have despised that song since the day it was released

are you evil DJP?

there's a good DJP?

haha I was gonna say

i like cherish a lot. it's easier when i ignore the lyrics.

'cherish' + 'dear jessie' into 'oh father' is some sublime shit. fuck it i'm putting like a prayer on right now.

wish "Love Song" got more affection

man i'm listening to the whole thing again for the first time in a very long time and 'love song' really is MUCH better than i remembered. always thought it was fine but a throwaway, but it sounded great this time. 'til death do us part' such a great deep cut, elvis costello tried to write this song three or four times on imperial bedroom. plus that dinky steel guitar solo!

She's really at the top of her vocal and lyrical game on "Til Death..." -- those switches from spoken word to sung lyrics.

Vanilli got 4 and Katy got 0 lololol

oh man I'd forgotten how much I love the original "Express Yourself"

WTF apparently I have never listened to this album before because I had NO IDEA about "Love Song"!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with you on the original "Express Yourself". "Love Song" OTOH sounds like a Prince song on a Madonna album.

My favorite moment on the album is on "Love Song":

"Embrasse-moi"
"What?"

hahahaha Madonna's old foghorn voice on "Oh Father", man I missed that braying instrument

which version of "Keep It Together" do you prefer, dan – the single remix or album version?
