The Demise Of Girl Groups

Girl groups were becoming a dying breed and 1999 emphasised on this with solo acts and boybands dominating the charts. The only girl group to make number one were B*Witched with a fourth and final release from their debut self titled album, "Blame It On The Weatherman". Despite just failing to make the Christmas number one last year, they took with them a chart record - they became the first act in UK chart history to have their first four singles enter the charts at number one. They never made number one again, with their second album Awake And Breathe failing to be as successful as their debut, which eventually led to their splitting in 2002. As for other girl groups, Cleopatra scored one Top 30 hit with "A Touch Of Love", peaking at number 24, Their T.V sitcom was a smash hit and was No1 in its time slot.

The Rise Of Boybands

Boybands were very popular during 1999 and probably bigger than they had been compared to any other year during the 1990s. Boyzone scored two further chart toppers, one with a remake of a Billy Ocean song "When The Going Gets Tough", made for Comic Relief and the other with a remake of Canadian singer Anne Murray's hit "You Needed Me". Their album "By Request" containing both chart toppers along with the million selling "No Matter What" from 1998, topped the albums chart for nine weeks and becoming the most successful album in their career. With six chart topping singles to their name, they unofficially disbanded with both Ronan Keating and Stephen Gately going on to experience solo success. Ronan Keating even scored a solo chart topper with his debut single "When You Say Nothing At All" later on in the year.

Movie Soundtracks

Film music remained popular throughout the year; other than Ronan Keating reaching number one with his song from Notting Hill, Madonna and Will Smith both reached number two with their soundtrack singles. From Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me was Madonna with her new single "Beautiful Stranger". The single was one of two hits during the year, the other being a final release from her massively successful 1998 album Ray Of Light, so compared to the previous year the events of 1999 were much quieter for her.

Latin & Europop

Two main crazes began in the UK during the year – the summer Latino craze and high demand for Europop & Eurodance. As a result, many acts in these styles of music received great success. Ricky Martin became an international star after the release of his massively successful single "Livin' La Vida Loca". Heading up the summer Latino craze in the UK and the US, he hit number one in several countries and topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. He became a phenomenon in the US; his debut self-titled album even went on to appear in the Top 100 best selling albums of all time in the US.

Topping the UK charts for three weeks, the song managed to sell a million copies and remained in the charts until 2000. It had also managed to make #39 on import sales. Their follow up single "Move Your Body" made number three, saving them from one hit wonder status though some still consider them candidates.

B*Witched, Steps, Tina Cousins, Cleopatra & Billie joined forces to create "Thank ABBA For The Music", which reached number four in the charts, ending B*Witched's run of consecutive entries at the top.

By far the British artist whose success grew more than any other during the year (who was not a debuting act) was Robbie Williams. His second album, I've Been Expecting You returned to the top of the charts for one week and he also scored a second chart topping single with "She's The One". The single became strongly associated with the video in which Williams is a skating instructor of a man and woman, and has to replace the man in the competition after an injury.

The Man Who by Travis first tops the charts in August – it returned there the following year

The albums to top the chart during the year were from a balance of genres. Although usually it is a domination of pop acts, rock and other acts were starting to top the charts more which were the first signs of a change towards wider appeal of other genres of albums to the public which continued to grow in the new millennium – 2004's album charts for example being dominated by rock bands.

Steps' new album, Steptacular containing the million selling single "Tragedy", which hit #1 for one week in January topped the albums chart for 3 weeks and sold very well.

Christmas Number One

This particular Christmas number one was seen of great importance because it would be the one which would span into the new millennium. Many acts fought to claim this position including the likes of S-Club, Artful Dodger, Vengaboys & Steps, however only one act could claim it. Even John Lennon's 1981 #1 hit "Imagine" was re-issued, upon which it made #3. With strong desire to claim the Christmas number one that would span into the new millennium due to his longstanding association with Christmas chart toppers and Christmas releases, Cliff Richard shot straight to the top of the charts in early December with his special millennium release "The Millennium Prayer". It topped the UK charts for 3 weeks and everyone expected him to make the Christmas number one, however in Christmas week, the position he strongly desired to maintain was stolen from him by new phenomenon boyband, Westlife. Their covers of ABBA's #2 hit from 1979, "I Have A Dream" and Terry Jacks' #1 hit from 1974 "Seasons In The Sun", saw them steal the Christmas #1 spot and have their longest stay at the top of the charts - a 4 week stay.
