Aqua – Good Morning Sunshine
‘Good Morning Sunshine’ earned Aqua a fifth – and final – top 20 hit from their debut album in the UK, even if it felt like a curiously off-brand denouement.

Aqua made their breakthrough in 1997 when ‘Barbie Girl’ earned them a place on the all-time best-sellers list in the UK…as well as a hefty lawsuit from Mattel.
‘My Oh My’ was another brilliantly absurd effort from Aqua. But for the first time, it didn’t feel as if all the ideas quite came together.
With the muted response to their second album, ‘Around The World’ felt like a deliberate attempt to distance Aqua from themselves.
Long before Robert Downey Jr. donned his Iron Man suit, Aqua released ‘Cartoon Heroes’ and brought several comic book icons to the mainstream.
Aqua were never going to be remembered for their ballads, but ‘Turn Back Time’ is among the best songs the group ever recorded.
‘Doctor Jones’ was important in elongating Aqua’s success beyond ‘Barbie Girl’ and proving there was more to them than a cartoon pop gimmick.
