Just however many, a handful, we're just doing the songs spent the most number of weeks at no1. 2000-2009

Ah right.

I feel I have a sketchy knowledge of the mid-noughties.

Anything from 2006 on and I'm stuffed.

 

[Shell]

Yeah honestly I just went blank.

FWIW there's not as many "huge" songs, like Houstons I Will Always Love you, that spent 10+ weeks at no1.

The no1s. are more 6-7 week deals max, as far as i can tell

 

[Shell]

*one exception. 12 weeks. Rap song.

And a 10 weeker pop song. That is truly awful imo.

 

[Fabab]

what about me shannon noll?

 

[Shell]

what about me shannon noll?

Yep. Spent 4 weeks at no1 in 2004.


Omg.

 

[Shell]

I'm literally looking at the list of songs at no1 of 2004.

She will be loved by Maroon 5 also spent 4 weeks at no1.

GUESS WHAT JUST CAME ON THE RADIO.

 

[Shell]

I'm sorry but that is 10/10 ****ing freaky. The exact time I'm telling you..

 

[HeathySure]

I'm sorry but that is 10/10 ******* freaky. The exact time I'm telling you..

and you didn't dive to change the station straight away? Thats the freaky part!

 

[Shell]

Idm Maroon 5.

Harder to Breathe is an awesome song

Idm Maroon 5.

Harder to Breathe is an awesome song

After Harder to Breathe and This Love, it went downhill from there.

C'mon get the biggest hits- one is easy. Rap. White dude.

Another one... well lets say she "wished" she was alot of stuff. With certain things on her head..

The rap song = Eminem - Lose Yourself.

There's also Scooter - The Logical Song.
Las Ketchup - Asereje.
Delta Goodrem - Born to Try.
50 Cent - In Da Club.
Black Eyed Peas - Where is the Love?

Generally found these sorts on the SO FRESH albums.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Was Christina Aguilera - Beautiful one of them?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Hey Shell.

Some of these songs are almost 20 years old now.

That is all.

Carry on.

Eminem had his time at No. 1.

Then, after 12 weeks, that song plummeted and plummeted more.

FWIW the other top no1 hits were:

Smooth Criminal, Alien Ant Farm: 8 weeks
SOS, Rihanna 8 weeks
Hips dont lie, Shakira
Big Girls Dont Cry 9 weeks

I wish I was a Punk Rocker: 10 weeks

Black Eyed peas held 13 weeks in a row with Boom Boom Pow + I gotta feeling

What a generally abysmal list of songs that is ('I got a feeling' being the best of them)...!

Guess which movie from the list below is NOT a remake?

The Departed - 2006
True Grit - 2010
The Nutty Professor - 1996
No Country for Old Men - 2007
Ocean's Eleven - 2006
The Ring - 2002
Bangkok Dangerous - 2008

 

[troybe]

It’s between No Country or Bangkok Dangerous


Sent from my Louis Vuitton Jaffle Maker

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I think it's No Country.

The Departed is based off the Hong Kong Infernal Affairs.
True Grit is (the original had John Wayne)
The Nutty Professor is
Ocean's Eleven is (Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin were in the original)
The Ring obviously is
I'm not familiar with Bangkok Dangerous but I don't recall No Country being a remake of anything.
