šŸ† WORLD CUP: One Hit Wonders šŸ† THE FINAL: POST 265

I canā€™t believe the New Radicals got out of that group. Such a distant 4th for me.

Yeah that songā€™s popularity baffles me to this day tbh. And thereā€™s no way itā€™s better than Whatā€™s Up? and Save Tonight. Astonishing.

You disagreeing with me is just confirmation that Iā€™m right.

New Radicals vs 4 Non Blondes would be a good tie in the World Cup Of Artists Where The Singer Wears A Shit Hat tbf

Didnā€™t realise Corgan was the singer in the New Radicals

Buggles bloke has proper weird kids tv presenter vibe.

Plastic Bertrand vs Nena is a heartbreaker - have to be a coin flip

I think heā€™s in prog band Yes now. Such a bizarre career. Which is good I guess, no pigeonholing him.

Just the glasses and clothes in the Buggles video being a bit Timmy Mallet I guess.

This feels like a good time to unleash my annual post pointing out that the New Radicalsā€™ one and only album Maybe Youā€™ve Been Brainwashed Too is completely brilliant.

His career high-point being producing Kiss From A Rose, obviously.

Didnā€™t know that. He could really do bombast couldnā€™t he.

I went with Save Tonight grudgingly from that group. Canā€™t stand that New Radicals song - like the bastard child of Hothouse Flowers and Ronan Keating.
