Bottom Feeders: The Ass End of the ’90s, Vol 4.

Dave Steed January 30, 2012 12

Section 4: Bubbling Under

Artifacts bubbled under at #121 with “The Ultimate”

Assorted Phlavors peaked at #119 in 1997 with “Make Up Your Mind”

Sherrie Austin hit #104 on the bubbling under chart in 1998 with “Put Your Heart Into It”

Awesome 3 hit #105 in 1993 with “Don’t Go!”

AZ bubbled under twice with “Gimme Yours” and “Hey AZ”

Babyface’s duet with Lisa Stansfield called “Dream Away” hit #109 back in 1994. It was featured in a movie called The Pagemaster.

Bad Boys Blue hit #104 in 1993 with “I Totally Miss You.”

Bad Yard Club bubbled under twice. In 1996 they went to #102 with “In De Ghetto” and reissued it a year later to lesser chart success as it then reached #115.

Bahamadia’s “Uknowhowwedu” hit #105 and “I Confess” #109 both in 1996. The B-Side of the former was called “True Honey Buns (Dat Freak Shit)” – now those be some titles.

About the author: Dave Steed View all posts by
Dave Steed is all about music; 80's and metal to be exact. His iPod will shuffle from Culture Club to Slayer and he won't blink an eye. He's never heard Astral Weeks but thinks "Dazzey Duks" by Duice is the bomb. It's an odd little corner of the world he lives in.

    I’d disagree re: Bobby Ross Avila. His songs tend not to be singles (simply because they are not pop-friendly within the parameters of what passes for pop-friendly in the 21st century) but they are usually among the best songs on the album, particularly in the cases of the more recent Usher and Janet albums. Also, he and his brother Isaiah released an album (as the Avila Brothers) called “Soundsational” a few years back (2004? 2005?) which is fucking excellent. I’ve been waiting for a sequel ever since.

    Atheneum’s “What I Didn’t Know” is one of my favorite ’90s tunes, period.

    The GF and I were just talking about the Dancing Baby last week. My day job actually sold the CD single in distribution but I never bothered to pick it up either…and that’s rare whenever I can’t be sucked in by a novelty. I’ll stick with Blue Swede.

    “Save Your Love” (and “I Totally Miss You” to a lesser extent) got healthy airplay in Houston; I remember being disappointed that a CD single was never issued Stateside. My promoter friend who brings Anything Box to town is also a serious Bad Boys Blue fan, and he’s hipped me to some other decent tunes in their catalog (“Queen of Hearts” and “A Train to Nowhere” to name two). Compare the choruses of “Save Your Love” and F.R. David’s “Words” for fun.

    I’ll bet we were also one of the markets to hype Artie the 1 Man Party, given our sizable Latino demographic. I want to add these tracks to my karaoke rig for those times when people would rather dance than sing. Mo’ ritmo!

    I want to say Bobby Ross Avila opened for New Kids on the Block at least for a few Hangin’ Tough dates. We had some promo singles and videos at my first record-store job. No takers.

    Bubbling Under PS: The Kicks Like a Mule remix of the Awesome 3 track was also big down here. Gotta grab that one again.

    Odd, I didn’t even think about Colourhaus when I wrote this (obviously). Yeah, certainly do recognize this.

    I still consider Bahamadia one of the greatest MCs in hip hop ever. Seriously, her own material was not specially great, but many of her collaborations (with, for example, Roni Size or Towa Tei) were top notch.

    No argument here. The whole album was really good, but this is the perfect “alternative” pop song.
