Do you remember any ?
More 00s tunes from 90s Britpop bands. I think Supergrass were actually the longest-surviving major Britpop band at the time of their initial disbandment in 2010! They called it a day the year after Oasis did, and by the mid-00s only Oasis and Supergrass were left, with Blur, Elastica, Pulp and Suede all having broken up or gone on hiatus.
They never did have another top 10 single in their homeland after "Moving" in 1999, but this one, "Grace", reached #13. I remember it from watching MTV as a youngster, and even though they were past the peak of their commercial success at that point, they still had it.
J-Kwon "Tipsy"
Sampled by Shaboozey, of course.
Since U Been Gone was her big hit, this one also got some airplay.
Solo Mikey Graham. Released on the same week as Stephen Gateley's debut solo single - and was compared to Van Morrison (whom by the way I saw with Neil Young last week)!
………….
One of Gabrielle's less-known ones, this one reminds me of "It Ain't Over Till It's Over" a bit.
00s Ozzy! In celebration of his monumental rock career, which drew to a close at Birmingham's Villa Park last night, here's "Dreamer" from 2002.
Would you swap the rock and roll dream for a job in Starbucks? Suffolk rockers A (yes that is their name) wouldn't.
Here's their bigger hit, "Nothing". A surprise UK top 10!
Fun fact: they're the reason a certain boy band of the time had to add "1" to their name.
Only if you're not counting The Charlatans as non Britpop. They have outlived them all.
Saw them last year live. Still got it.
Charlatans emerged before Britpop, during the baggy/Madchester area. They're all from the West Midlands except for Tim Burgess who is from Northwich, Cheshire.
Before One Direction, there was One True Voice…
This is their take on The Bee Gees' "Sacred Trust".
Bought the album on the strength of that song.......utter shite it was
Didn't know the video was filmed in Tijuana!
The second (and final) single was co-written by Rick Astley.
Rage Against the Machine "Renegades of Funk"
From 2001's "Renegades", their last album. It consisted pretty much entirely of cover versions.
Moby - "Lift Me Up" from 2005. Not as well remembered as "Natural Blues", "Go", "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?", "Porcelain" or even "Extreme Ways", but still got a decent amount of airplay! Even used on Reeling in the Years for the 2005 episode.
It's a new one for me, but I like it.
I remember it, think it’s still in my iTunes library.
Early 2001
big moby fan.. funny never really liked that track…. But the again nothing tops In My Heart, Move or Memory Gospel.
Cornershop - "Lessons Learned from Rocky I to Rocky III" (2002 I think)
It peaked at #37. This made it the band's third and final UK top 40 single.
could be fake memory but seem to remember this getting a ton of play on Spin1038 in its very early days.
More Kelly Clarkson, this is "A Moment like This", her debut single after she won the very first American Idol. Never released in Ireland or Britain.
Leona Lewis covered it and that's the version we're more familiar with I'd say.
Even before then, I knew from the Guinness Book of Records that it was a Kelly Clarkson song.
A mid/late 00s emo band that never quite matched the same success as Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco or Paramore, it's Taking Back Sunday with "MakeDamnSure".
To be precise, this song only peaked at #36 in the UK, while the "Big Four" of the time all had top 20 hits during the 2005-2009 period.
Around 2005
It was late 2004.
There was also this one, "Borderline" (with Shelley Poole), from 2006. Michael Gray is one-half of Full Intention.
Alex Gaudino with "Watch Out", which was the follow-up to "Destination Calabria". Like "The Weekend", this track features Shéna on vocals.
It peaked at #16 in what was a fairly competitive week in the UK charts. In Ireland, it got to #23 (Destination Calabria reached #2 here but only #4 in the UK, surprisingly "What a Feeling" didn't reach the Irish top 30, peaking at #38).
