Boyband Ultimate KAOS released this as the second single off their debut album.
Definitely influenced by the earlier Boyz II Men classic, Motownphilly.
Not as catchy, but a decent effort, a top 20 hit around Ireland and the UK, it's definitely one forgotten with time, but a good effort.

An unusual ending to NOW 30, with this non album single, a cover of U2's earlier hit.
It's kinda trip hoppy but not fully all the same, did well on some R&B charts.
It's not bad by any means.
Interestingly, Mica Paris has since ended up acting on the soap Eastenders, the second on this album.

Wet Wet Wet kick off NOW 31, released in July 1995, at this point I'd have just turned a whooping 3 years old...
This was the 3rd single off their 4th album, Picture This, and it's not a bad effort, kind of like Elvis Costello-lite.
A top 20 single in Ireland, Iceland and the UK where it peaked at 7, not a massive belter, but an ok-ish start to NOW 31.

Now this is more like, you could argue it's a one hit wonder, the lead single off hit 3rd solo album, but that would be doing a disservice to his time with Orange Juice in the 80's.
This is Britpop-esque, maybe not quite fully there but it's got similar stylings.
I really like it, I can't think of any of his other solo stuff (and he is still going), but this is excellent.
And of course my first memory of this comes from the hit movie, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, which for some reason I was brought to, what a film.

Different Class, Pulp's 5th album, is one of my favourite albums of all time, regularly fluctuates near the top of my lists, so naturally the lead single off it is going to feature quite highly here.
Pulp took awhile to reach their sound and this was them at their best, just a brilliant bit of pop.
A huge single too, but I need say no more.

It's just the infectious fun, silly side of Britpop.
Very quick this evening as I was out for dinner.

A real one hit wonder here for sure, Ini Kamoze came out with this in 1994, which stormed the charts, as a dancehall/reggae meets pop cross hit.
It was his only real success in mainstream terms, coming off his 5th album.
Really really fun.

A moderately successful dance-pop hit from Dana Dawson, who had an unfortunately short career, spanning some Broadway work and 2 studio albums, before passing from cancer far too young at 36 in 2010.
It's fun, there's potential here and can definitely get you grooving, definitely growing on me stylistically in tune with the late 90s and what was to come in the 2000's.
