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

[berserkboi]

I've never ever heard it before. I had heard other singles but never sought out thier music, that will change now.

Please hunt down Rock Steady, Pure Shores & Black Coffee if you don't know them!

 

[londonrain]

The four albums are all quite different but I think Red Flag is actually my favourite. One of the best comeback albums I’ve heard.

Your Top 10!!!

'60s
The Shirelles – Will You Love Me Tomorrow
The Ronettes - Be My Baby
'70s
Baccara - Yes Sir, I Can Boogie
The Emotions – Best Of My Love

'80s
The Bangles - Manic Monday
Salt-N-Pepa - Push It
'90s
Spice Girls - Wannabe
'00s
Sugababes - Overload
Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground
t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said

Hmm, five of those are in my top ten (and both my 11 and my only 10 are still in), so I guess the results are slightly better than expected...

t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said

I didn't even vote but the top 5 in no particular order should be Be My Baby, Overload, Wannabe, Yes Sir, I Can Boogie and Sound of the Underground based off of what made the top 10.

Some general/specific Tea for you!

- There is one song in this top 10 with no 11s but it did incredibly well regardless....

- Next elimination made me almost as angry as Heatwave's result....

#soon!

Still not wannabe then. Bloomin' 'ell.

The four albums are all quite different but I think Red Flag is actually my favourite. One of the best comeback albums I’ve heard.

Despite having all their albums, I'm even more of the impression now that a greatest hits is all you'd really need from All Saints. There really is a lot of filler on those albums.

And finally Pure Shores is bloody perfection.

Less so on the later 2 albums. Studio 1 has some great songs on it and of course Red Flag is really strong throughout.

Red Flag is a glorious album. Black Coffee is their best song for me personally but I know Pure Shores is very popular here too.

 

[soratami]

I've never actually listened to Res Flag even though I'm a big fan of theirs. I should probably fix that.

@ohnoitisnathan - How did Wilson Phillips' 10 million debut album fare on our shores? Who would be the best selling from the girl bands we have on the list in Australia would you say?

'Wilson Phillips' peaked at #7 and spent 29 weeks in the top 100 in Oz, becoming the 63rd highest-selling album of 1990 here.

As for which girl band sold the most in Australia from this list... I wouldn't know. I think the later groups have a sales advantage in that the population of the country is bigger.

Uh yeah, another fan of theirs here to tell you it's their best overall album for sure. Pure Shores is still my all-time favorite song from them though, when we had to pick our Ultimate 20 pop songs, Pure Shores was somewhere in the #21 to #25 range and just missed my list.

 

[iheartpoptarts]

I'll just have my own little 90s party while all of y'all fall asleep on the beach.

 

[DJHazey]

I will be okay with The Emotions, Salt n Pepa, Sugababes, or Girls Aloud going at this point but would prefer the first two.

See, I just want Tatu and Spice Girls out of here then I'm at peace with the Top 8

(not a Baccara WIN necessarily but it's my favourite "novelty song" in the rate by some distance)

 

[Deleted member 29256]

All Saints is one of my all time favorite girl groups, together with CocoRosie, the Spice Girls and the Sugababes.
Red Flag is definitely my favorite All Saints album. One Woman Man is pop perfection.

 

[saviodxl]

I'm shocked to see All Saints leaving before t.a.t.u and the remaining girlbands of the 60s...
One Strike is still my jam these days. What an anthem!

 

[2014]

That's actually a pretty great top 10! I would've had I Know Where It's At make it instead of All The Things She Said and Manic Monday is easily the other weakest track left, but the other 8 are all 9s/10s!

 

[2014]

My top 10 now would look something like;

1 Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground
2 Sugababes - Overload
3 The Shirelles – Will You Love Me Tomorrow
4 Spice Girls - Wannabe
5 Baccara - Yes Sir, I Can Boogie
6 The Emotions – Best Of My Love
7 The Ronettes - Be My Baby
8 Salt-N-Pepa - Push It
9 t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said
10 The Bangles - Manic Monday

Be My Baby in 7th? Gurl.
