9. Seagulls S.K.A.

Showaddywaddy! They haven't had a top 20 hit in 26 years! Bit more than a "few" years innit?

Anyway I wouldn't rule them out. There'll probably be a pro-hunting protest record which'll get to #17, same as Attila the Stockbroker.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

oh I said I missed that bit.

Oh go on then,

20. The Libertines.

"Ooh Wee" got to #15. It was inescapable as soundtrack music on sports highlight packages for about four months.

40. Ashley Simpson. MWAHAHAHAH!!!

The two-disc promo mix for the Ronson album is even better- understandable since he made his fame as a DJ, not a producer. Though IIRC he's doing production for the upcoming Rhymefest album (the guy who raps on his Air remix- great flow, horrible name).

Didn't the Fall have a top 20 hit, or was it top 40?

― Telephone Thing, Thursday, 3 February 2005 03:46 (twenty years ago)

Dom, I'm guessing we're talking the top 20 in the US. I don't remember it being on sports show over here in the UK. They normally stick to "Beautiful Day" by U2. *yawns loudly*

mark ronson - 2 disc promo .. what was extra ? never seen that appear in my ebay trawls ?

― mark e (mark e), Thursday, 3 February 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

No Nick, top 20 UK. The Premiership used it something like four shows running to sum up, I dunno, Peter Crouch's contribution to sporting excellence.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 3 February 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

Oh OK. My memory's obviously going in in my old age (22).

41. One True Voice

The unknown factor of the I'm A Sleb... appearance is not being considered here.

xpost you really should though. Even Bez isn't going to go Top 40, even now. Right?
