Forgotten Dance Music (One Hit Wonder)

This post is about those bands that had those 1 time hits (which were very very popular) but never got to establish as a long-time career band, only had like 2 albums and puff... dead.

A.T.C. - Planet Pop (2001)

Famous song: "Around the World". Does anyone remember them? It was player over the radio again and again, and the video of the song kept on being played in the TV. Also, they released another famous song called "My Heart Beats Like a Drum".

Vengaboys - The Platinum Album (2001)

Famous song: "Kiss (When The Sun Don't Shine)". A failed attempt to get back on the Mainstream scene. After their BIG success with the first album, they released this one but didn't go that well in the charts.


Vengaboys - The Party Album! (1999)

Famous song: "We Like to Party". Ahhhhh how can anyone forget that song, I bet you sing it or ask someone today about it and everyone will remember it and they even WILL KNOW THE LYRICS! That song was a total ICON in the society. Then, they released the "Boom Boom Boom Boom" song, which also got very famous.

Aqua - Aquarium (1997)

Famous song: "Barbie Girl". The Legendry Aqua! Young adults that don't have this CD in their houses, simply DIDN'T LIVE their youth in School! One of the famous 1-hit bands of all time! There are several good songs in this album. They also released a second album in 2000 (looking forward to get it too) which was a hit also, but they split due to artistic differences and well... the end.

Singles:
Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On (2004)

This song was a hit in the Mainstream U.S. Chart, I don't remember where I heard it first time, but I liked it very much, specially the extended mix that featured a girl. I bought this Single in Orlando back in 2005, I was kinda disappointed but blah...

Vengaboys - Boom Boom Boom Boom (1999)

In the cover it says "the XXL version", but I suppose it's because this single has a lot of remixes of that song. Don't know WHY really I got this single...

Girls Aloud

The famous British girl band that has been hitting the music business very hard since 2000. I was introduced to them by a Canadian friend of mine, and after a few listenings, with their catchy songs, I began to like them very much. People say that they are the new Spice Girls but I doubt it.
Others, say that they are the UK version of "The Pussycat Dolls" which I DO NOT AGREE! Pussycat Dolls SUCK!!!!!!!!

The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits (2006)

15-Track Import Edition. First, I wanted to get the Limited 2-CD Edition but it's so hard to find it now :( Instead, I ended buying the regular edition.

Tarja Turunen

She is the former vocalist of "Nightwish". Since I'm a big fan of them, I also fell in love with Tarja's powerful and dark operatic voice! She's brilliant, she was the Heart of Nightwish, but well... Life's gotta move on! I have to get her new solo album as soon as possible!

Henkäys Ikuisuudesta (2006)

A Christmas CD that includes some famous folk songs for this season plus some brand new songs. This doesn't count as her first "solo" album since it's just a X-mas project.

Depeche Mode

Got to know them with their "Dream On" video and liked very much their music style. After trying several times to get their Best Of CD, finally I got it. I saw that compilation here and it's so damn expensive!

The Best Of, Volume 1 (2006)

CD+DVD Edition. The cover is also different than the regular "Best Of" edition (blue cover), the only thing that changes is the color.

'Nsync + JC Chasez

Never been into these boy band stuff, although they were cool. I like JC's solo album, it's very very great! So much better than the stupid fuckin' Justin (I hate him a lot). New JC's album will be released later this year!

Schizophrenic (2004)

First JC's solo album. With 2 Bonus Tracks: "Blowing Me Up" & "Some Girls (feat. McDirt)"



Greatest Hits (2005)

Their hits plus some new songs. Includes a Bonus DVD with their videos.

Gwen Stefani + No Doubt

No Doubt rocks, it's such a shame that I didn't go to the concert here :'( But well... other day. After Gwen went solo, she changed drastically her style but I liked it.

Love Angel Music Baby (2004)

Gwen's first solo album.




Rock Steady (2001)






Return of Saturn (2000)

Celine Dion

I suppose most of you got to know Celine for her song from "Titanic", so did I! I know most of people hate or dislike her for unknown rare reasons, but I Love her! Her silky smooth and versatile voice is so charming! I'm not a die-hard fan but I enjoy very much listening to her.

A New Day Has Come (2002)

Bought recently for a cheap price.




All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999)

Latin American edition, includes a Spanish version of the song "All By Myself" called "Sola Otra Vez" and misses the song "Love Can Move Mountains" and "If You Asked Me To". Half of the disc are her greatest hits, and the other half are brand new songs which among them is the lead single "That's the Way It Is".
