Well it did something in the UK chart-wise.
Debuted at #52 on the iTunes chart on the 2nd of September and lasted two whole days before disappearing. http://www.itunescharts.net/uk/artis...e-feat-akelle/ Compare that to the superior "Living Without You" which spent 11 days on the chart and at least faded naturally rather than just vanishing. http://www.itunescharts.net/uk/artis...g-without-you/ |

Sweet like Chocolate is defo a classic. Its the song what triggered the garage wave to the mainstream. Craig David certainly has a lot to thank the song for.

No it didn't. There are several examples of UK Garage crossover hits that pre-date it.

Such as? I can't think of any garage track prior to Sweet Like Chocolate which crossed over to the mainstream in way that song did. It was number 1 and kick started the whole garage wave which lasted well into 2001 before starting to fade out again.
The only other song I can think of is Closer than Close by Rosie Gaines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKaXcQiwIL4 From UK artists you had smaller top 40 hits from the Dreem Teem ('The Theme' in 1997) and MJ Cole ('Sincere' in 1998). And the Shanks and Bigfoot producers themselves even had a top 20 hit in 1998 as Doolally with 'Straight From The Heart', which they then re-released after 'Sweet Like Chocolate' was a success. And then we also had the speed garage style popular around 1996-1998 which yielded various crossover hits. |

A poster on the Official Chart Company website message section said her song didn't reach the top 200 singles chart.
I didn't even know singles had a top 200 chart! I thought it stopped after 100! You learn something new every day.

Great to see the musical genius that is Tulisa whatsherface back.
I can now put away my Grimes, Chvrches and 1975 records and listen to this pop gem. I think she should do a duet with Foals. Perhaps the Yeah Yeah Yeahs can reform, sack Karen O, and replace her with Tulisa. A guy can dream... |
