Do you remember any ?
Around early 2007
I don’t remember that one, but one of their others was used on an Irish Rail ad in the early 2000s.
Rome Wasn’t Built In a Day
Pardon my ignorance but wouldn't a good chunk of these oos songs not still be played on the "old school Sunday" shows on the regional youth stations and the classic 9@11 on Saturday on Today FM if it's still going?
Here's another of theirs, "World Looking In".
Just remembered this one, complete scutter, but it counts.
A poor man's MGMT. I was 14 when it came out; I remember it like it was yesterday. I was very into MGMT at the time.
Remember Ash? I don't hear that much of their music now. This was great from 2001:
This would have been a Phantom-type song, I'm not sure if it got played on the mainstream stations. But, a song about toxic masculinity before "toxic masculinity" was a thing? These guys were ahead of their time.
From around the same time as the Iglu & Hartly song, I thought this was "Weird Al" Yankovic when I first heard it.
He was actually the producer behind the inescapable Kabin Crew/Lisdoonvarna Crew track "The Spark" this year!
2005
Nope, not a Divine Comedy cover. Stumbled across this one randomly, a while back, liked what I heard! Reached the top 40, in 2000.
Pop Unlimited is a great channel. The guy Ben really knows his stuff.
Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, was on the radio non-stop around the same time as You're Beautiful by James Blunt, pure sh1te but seeing Blunt on the Late Late reminded me of it.
Daniel Powter’s Bad Day was a huge hit! He never came anywhere close to following it up. Strange thing about him / the song is that he sounded very different when he sang it live, at least a couple of octaves lower. He can’t hit the high notes at all. So the song was clearly heavily “engineered” for the recorded version. Another interesting thing, he recently turned up on “Canada’s got talent”. None of the judges recognised him until he started signing his signature song…

Here's their version...
From the very start of the 00s - the follow-up to "I'm Blue". Who remembers this one? I do - from a young age!
Fun fact: the group's mascot was named "Zorotl".
I just played it over the weekend! I have a playlist of EDM and Eurodance from the 90s (give or take a few years) so it came on there.
The first few years of the 00s are really the 90s in all but name.
yes
I have it on Dance Hits 2000, the 41st instalment in the Hits series (rival to Now That’s What I Call Music).
Blurry photo but in this box between Hits 2000 & New Hits 2000
I don't recall hearing this much on the radio, but it's a great song.
atlantic 252 played it at the time but it was a dance remix they played of it which was quite good.
This was also getting a lot of airplay at the same time as The Fray song, how f*cking morose were the charts back then.
Fontella Bass remix from early 2000. Big beat was the sound of the turn of the millennium, along with 2-step garage.
Silly novelty song that got airplay around late 2001
Just remembered this one from late 2006, Marty Whelan was a fan.
Springsteen track that got a lot of airplay around late 2007, haven't heard it in a long time.
Always thought Radio nowhere was ones of Bruce's underrated songs.
Im sure its not intertional but have a listen to this,it's the same.

Early 2002, Googled to see if they did anything else, the singer is Moony who sang the Dove song posted earlier in the thread, always thought there was a bit of similarity didn't know it was the same person.
I remember Tony Fenton playing that every single day for way too long.
