‘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 – Barbie Girl
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.
Girls Aloud – No Good Advice
Despite some fleeting doubts over the song, ‘No Good Advice’ cemented Girls Aloud and Xenomania’s status as a dream partnership.
Aqua – My Oh My
‘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.
Aqua – Around The World
With the muted response to their second album, ‘Around The World’ felt like a deliberate attempt to distance Aqua from themselves.
Aqua – Cartoon Heroes
Long before Robert Downey Jr. donned his Iron Man suit, Aqua released ‘Cartoon Heroes’ and brought several comic book icons to the mainstream.
Aqua – Turn Back Time
Aqua were never going to be remembered for their ballads, but ‘Turn Back Time’ is among the best songs the group ever recorded.
Aqua – Doctor Jones
‘Doctor Jones’ was important in elongating Aqua’s success beyond ‘Barbie Girl’ and proving there was more to them than a cartoon pop gimmick.
