You should ask for that money right after you take all your Ricky Martin and Chumbawumba CDs back to your local record store (which I'm sure is still standing) and ask them to refund you the $15.99 each you paid.
Hey, Rich, Chumbawamba was the greatest anarchist collective pro-alcoholism non-binary gendered one-hit-wonder Brit Pop band to emerge in all of 1997-98...!

No argument there. As someone who was in the music industry forever, it amuses me to no end that an artist in 2017 who had sales like the "one-hit wonder joke" bands (Chumbawumba, Lou Bega, etc) did in the 90s... would be one of the biggest-sellers of the year. Like, basically: 1) Adele 2) Chumbawumba 3) Drake
Hell, Shaggy had TWO hits... and his album sold more in the U.S. than the last Taylor Swift album sold WORLDWIDE.
wamajama said: Yes, sadly though,Shaggy got paid in scooby-snacks (rooby-racks)...sorry, couldn't resist...you think Adele is a one-hit-wonder...? Damn, you're harsh!
Nah, you misread. Adele and Drake are arguably the two most successful artists of this decade... in terms of sales, streaming, airplay, etc. Multiple monster albums and so on.
Chumbawumba.... had one hit.... in an era where you had to buy the CD to get said hit. So 2 million people bought it. Their 2 million sales, in 2016, would put them AHEAD of both Adele (1.6M) and Drake (1.5M) for that year. So actually it was: 1) Chumbawumba 2) Adele 3) Drake
Love you, too
