#soon! Part Un - The 60s-00s Girl Band Debut Breakthrough Rate

[berserkboi]

Things are very different to what I expected up on the leaderboard with one week of voting gone! I wonder what the next wave will bring us!

We have a *very* unexpected top 5 at the moment, with only one song I thought would be there turning out there so far! Love a plot twist!!

Honestly my favourite songs are in the 80s/90s so I should really give my 11 to one of those but then at least five of the 60s songs are 10/10 and I feel like my 11 should go there. I mean when else are The Shirelles gonna get an 11/10 in a rate (or even feature in a rate?).

The irony of my scores once revealed will not be lost on any of you.

Listening to the girlbands of the 60s and the 70s and it's been a great discovery process for me!

UPDATE

Added the Alternate Links for Girls Aloud and The Saturdays as per @Zar-Unity's links and his advice that the original links did not work in his region.

The first week of voting has gone (as per the thread title edit also) and so far things are still up for quite drastic play on that leaderboard! The eras are spread out quite nicely along the spreasheet so none is suffering an unfair 'trolling' fate as of yet. Many things are currently tied and with a few more voters, I am sure a clearer picture will emerge.

In the meantime - anyone interested in the origin of girl bands and what not can check this very comprehensive wikipedia page!

I think that's The Promise by Girls Aloud?

 

[Zar-Unity]

...Wait, what? Atomic Kitten had a good song? This rate's proving educational for me already!

In the interest of keeping the thread alive even while everyone's just mulling over their scores, let us continue celebrating some of the other girl band debuts that couldn't make the contest itself, ok?

Howzabout The Runaways, whose debut single did go to number one -- in Japan:

I also recommend the Dakota Fanning / Kristen Stewart movie, which I enjoyed a lot...

Very interesting! I thought The Runaway's would have charted higher in America.
Gotta love a hot blonde and spunky attitude as the lead singer.

I don't know how high this next all girl band charted, in their respective country "Germany", and in the rest of the world, but I really like them, and the pretty blonde, lead singer Bernadette La Hengst, who later went on to have a pretty decent solo career, as a alternative electropop and indie artist, writing and producing all of her own songs..

Die Braut Haut Ins Auge (The brides skin in eye)

Die Braut Haut Ins Auge (The brides skin in eye)

Ah but which one's the debut/breakthrough single then?

 

[Zar-Unity]

Ah but which one's the debut/breakthrough single then?

I think their 1991 single, self-titled "Die Braut haut ins Auge", but it is not on youtube.

Edit: Oh no, wait, you said "breakthrough single", probably their 1994 album single "Alles was mir fehlt".
