1998 UK Official Charts Number One Hits SURVIVOR (Round 1)

[Haiku Rewrites]

Following (what I consider to be) the success of the 1999 UK Number One Hits Survivor, I present to you the sequel (prequel?).

This time we are paying tribute to the year of the Tiger, with some elegant ballads and ferocious bangers alike.

Cher, Celine Dion and Run DMC were the big successes of the year, can they replicate this success here? Who will never ever get Moopy's love, thus be shown the exit first? And who will ascend to another level?

In this round you are voting to SAVE UP TO 20 ACTS/TRACKS you want to move on to the next round.

If any B*Witched shit outlives Viva Forever I will burn Moopy down to the ground.

I think I like Three Lions most out of that lot

#boobs #beer #footie #ladsladslads

And Frozen obviously

I think the Three Lions that was No #1 in ‘98 was the second version as opposed to the original and best

Obviously hoping Atomic Kitten’s “Southgate You’re The One” is this year‘s Christmas #1 after England win the World Cup

I fear this may be a round where All Saints songs sail into the final while I try in vain to see the appeal.

If Simply Red were a girl group...

@Soldi Oh actually yes. The original is better. Of course the greatest thing about it is the undercurrent of FALSE HOPE

The totally unrelated This Time I Know It’s For Real works along similar lines. Poor Donna might have been convinced but the key suggests otherwise and we all know it ends in a torrent of torment and tears

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

TRIPLE POST HORROR

 

[Pipo]

The Spice Girls & Spice Girls?

As if Chris Evans wasn't bad enough for Billie Piper, but both her 1998 #1s being flushed like this is hard to take. BWWT is so much better than some of the populist lowest common denominator dregs on offer here.
