If we tell you what was number 1 this week FIFTEEN YEARS ago, will you promise not to freak out and cause a scene in your workplace?
Here is what was top of the charts on this day throughout the last 15 years… Ah! We can’t believe it’s been that long…
*Cue – the old school (bad) dance moves.
15 Years ago…

2001 – Knocking Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Pink, Mya & Missy Elliot from the top spot, U2 charted numero uno with Elevation.
