ASFM: Forgotten Hits 2: First Listening Party Night 1

[OutSynk]

Jesus Christ STOP SCREAMING

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Can’t wait to get to 2000 so I can switch off and head to bed

 

[RS]

Nil points

 

[RJN]

14. Sam Fox gets lost in a cape on Channel 5

Sophie B Hawkins - Right Beside You

Uk #13, US #56

1994

 

[Alla]

It wasn’t on an actual ASFM. It was in the second choice gala that I did after the last forgotten hits round.

Oh I forgot that! Anyway, a fantastic song that deserves to be here again. x

14. Sam Fox gets lost in a cape on Channel 5

Sophie B Hawkins - Right Beside You

Uk #13, US #56

1994

I mean. Forgotten, much in the same way 9/11 is forgotten

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh my god, there are instruments that I can get behind on this

 

[OutSynk]

Oh I forgot that! Anyway, a fantastic song that deserves to be here again. x

You mean after this?

 

[Alla]

Right besides you is extremely well know for me. Same with Love U right How am I gonna vote? No idea

 

[RJN]

If you like this, try the entire album

 

[Marina Salty]

Seriously whoever are you, how could you insinuate this is forgotten!

 

[dmlaw]

I don’t think I have too much of a problem with this. The last one had ‘Independent Love Song’.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

(I don't think I've ever heard this before)

 

[Alla]

You mean after this?

Hopefully in semi 2.

 

[RS]

The eastern sounding music is nice.

I don’t think I’ve heard this before

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Good news is that it seems there is a song the wrong side of 2000 that is getting points from me

 

[OutSynk]

There's only one song here that's REALLY known to me and it's still coming.

 

[Alla]

At least is not one of her 2 massive hits, but Right besides you is hardly forgotten In Alla's ipod.

 

[Raining on Me]

This feels like a pretty perfect IN THE RULES entry to be fair. Though arguably not forgotten by moopy, so...

But fuck who cares it's GLORIOUS

 

[Marina Salty]

This was on the most heavy of rotations on MTV

 

[RS]

Ok it can end now

 

[RJN]

15. Diana Ross’ penalty miss

Youssou N’Dour feat. Neneh Cherry - 7 Seconds

UK #3, Number 1 in France, Finland, Iceland and Switzerland

1994

 

[Alla]

OMG the next one This has to be our Rita

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Good lord, even I know this...

 

[RS]

OMG not forgotten but certainly the smooth comfort I need after listening to all the previous shit before it

 

[AGinAg (37)]

7 Seconds, what a forgotten multi million selling hit.

 

[Alla]

7 seconds has to be the most well known one so far, with High Energy.

 

[Tisch]

I feel a bit like the charts one is a chance for a known-ish hit to win ASFM. Not Day Or Night levels of known but it's a fine line. I'd rather that than a totally new (to me) song or Automatic by Ultra Naté.

 

[OutSynk]

I don't know it.

 

[Raining on Me]

What on earth

But it's 20/10

But how does one VOTE? The trauma!

 

[RJN]

The biggest song of the year in 1994 in France

 

[Alla]

I have the physical single of the last 2 forgotten hits.

 

[Marina Salty]

And still it's so nice that I couldn't bring myself to downvote it

 

[RS]

This is the soundtrack of that hot summer of 94

 

[Alla]

The biggest song of the year in 1994 in France

It has to be one of the biggest hits in Europe that year for sure.

 

[Tisch]

Everyone complained about Secret Love Song last time and then that did really well

I was 5.

16. Dawn the Apprentice Jockey

2 Eivissa - Oh La La La

UK #13, US Dance #10 (this is a unprecedented flop for this chart), Spain #1

1997

 

[dmlaw]

Would it be remembered by someone who isn’t that into their music, though?
