Best singles of all time - Swiss style

[Juan Albion]

Geez, take a butchers at the Swiss all time best singles:

Swiss All time Singles Chart

The Ketchup Song and the Macarena make the top 12.

You better not let them into the EEC. Or is too late?

 

[Trigger]

How the hell did that number 2 song spend 73 weeks in the charts and only get to number 11?

 

[Beach Hut]

Sums up Swiss taste in music - crap

 

[Lush]

Yello were pretty good though. I like "Oh Yeah" - can't remember which film it is was in. Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

Yeah, it was in that. But it has been used in several others since, too.

Interestingly, though, Middle of the Road ("Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep" et al) are only ranked one place below Yello (who are 63rd) in their alltime artists ranking.

Good to see Suzi Quatro in there at 92.

Even better to see Kylie a full 14 places higher than the Beatles.

Hey, guess what the 1953rd best selling single of all time in Switzerland was?

1. What on earth are you doing looking at sites like that?

2. Remember how well Bryan Adams and "Everything I do", sold in this country? People in glass houses etc....

16 weeks at number 1 in Switzerland... Good enough for 19th of all time.

Mind you, another of the Royal cuckolder's singles is at #7 all time depsite only being #1 for 2 weeks. Go figure.

Swiss pictures don't work either...
