I heard Juxtaposed With U by The Super Furry Animals in the supermarket the other day. Great song. A sort of indie micky take of The Lighthouse Family.
Echobeatz - Mas Qué Nada
The title didn't sound familiar at all but the song was, reached number 10 in 1998 and I'm sure it's been in an advert or something.

On October 30, 2001, a group of popular recording artists under the name "Artists Against AIDS Worldwide" released a single containing multiple versions of "What's Going On" to benefit AIDS programs in Africa and other impoverished regions.[82] The single contains "What's Going On" along with eight additional remixes. The song was recorded shortly before the September 11, 2001 attacks, and it was decided afterwards that a portion of the song's proceeds would benefit the American Red Cross' September 11 fund as well.
Jermaine Dupri and Bono produced the radio single version, whose performers included Destiny's Child, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, NSYNC, Darren Hayes of Savage Garden, Jennifer Lopez, Ja Rule, Nas, Lil' Kim, Sean Combs, Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys, Eve, Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, Aaron Lewis of Staind, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., Wyclef Jean and Gaye's own daughter Nona, among other artists.
The collaboration was a success worldwide, peaking within the top 10 on the charts of Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom and the top 20 on the charts of Flanders, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden and Switzerland. In New Zealand, it went Gold for selling over 5,000 units. On the US Billboard Hot 100, the cover peaked at number 27, and it additionally reached number 24 on both the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 and Rhythmic charts. A music video was directed by Jake Scott.
This song was a hit on two other occasions as a charity single....
The remake of "What's Going On" was the first of the Rock Aid Armenia releases in aid of those suffering from the 1988 Armenian earthquake. The version credited to Live Aid Armenia featured Aswad, Errol Brown, Richard Darbyshire, Gail Ann Dorsey, Boy George, David Gilmour, Nick Heyward, Mykaell S. Riley, Labi Siffre, Helen Terry, Ruby Turner, Elizabeth Westwood and the Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra. The B-side was "A Cool Wind Is Blowing", Armenian duduk music played by Djivan Gasparyan. The record was produced by Steve Levine and the executive producers were Fraser Kennedy and Jon Dee. This was released as a single on Island Records.
In 1994, the song was covered in the Music Relief '94. This cover was released as a benefit single released in memory of the Rwandan genocide. The singers who participated in the project were C. J. Lewis, Roachford, Yazz, Aswad, Edwin Starr, Peter Cunnah of D Ream, Kim Appleby, Mick Jones of BAD, Rozalla, Tony Di Bart, Paul Young, Paul Carrack, Angie Brown of Ramona 55, Jimmy Ruffin, Omar, Apache Indian, Worlds Apart, Kaos, the Pasadenas, Gus Isidore, Jools Holland, Mark King of Level 42, Nik Kershaw, Larry Adler, and Dannii Minogue.
Alphabeat's biggest UK hit was "Fascination," which peaked at number 6 in 2008. Other notable UK hits include "10,000 Nights" (peak 16), "Boyfriend" (peak 15), and "Hole in My Heart" (peak 29). Their debut album, This Is Alphabeat, also reached the top 10, peaking at number 10.
I still hear Naive and She Moves In Her Own Way quite a bit, but their actual highest charting single Always Where I Need To Be (got to #3) has been comparatively forgotten.

Funnily enough I just saw the Kooks mentioned in the classic Emmerdale thread! Naive and She Moves In Her Own Way were everywhere around summer 2006

By the same person who mentioned it in this thread. If was probably what inspired them to put in here as it jogged their memory

It's a great track

There's a lot of lesser remembered gems from bigger artists on the recent addition of the Top of The Pops reruns on BBC4 (now nearly at 1999)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002kkmx/top-of-the-pops-24071998
I wouldn’t call July 1998 nearly 1999. We’re still in the 3rd quarter of that year
We're in the second half of 1998 so close to 1999. Time flies!
Also, Everybody, which I preferred to Pure & Simple
Another single of theirs, One Day at a Time, was lovely too

Forgot all about it but it came flooding back when I heard, don't think I've heard it for about 18 years!

I was obsessed with this one at the time, and thought it would be a global no1. Maybe it was a little too much 'iPod advert' in hindsight though.

Which one is your favourite? Which one do you like but had almost forgot?
