We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight - 10/12/01 "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight" was the fourth and seemingly
last single to be released from "A Girl Like Me". Released
on 10th December 2001, the week before the race for Christmas No. 1,
the single was ignored by the public. Even though the single was relatively
well promoted, the single flopped - going to #20 in the charts, selling
just 13,000 copies in its first week, and only about 35,000 copies altogether
- the song only spent 5 weeks in the Top 75, but had a good Top 40 chart
run, spending three weeks hovering around the thirties.CD

Take My Breath Away - 27/08/01 "Take My Breath Away" was the third single to
be released from "A Girl Like Me", success was expected after
a month of intense promotion and trips around the country going on every
TV show imaginable - but competition was heavy, Emma was going to be going
against Blue in the race for #1. It turned out that when released on 27th
August 2001, the single limped into #5, falling out of the Top 40 chart
within 4 weeks. The single sold around 80,000 copies in the UK - and was
the 151st best seller of 2001.CD

A Girl Like Me - 16/04/01 "A Girl Like Me" was Emma Bunton's highly anticipated debut album, released on 16th April 2001. It initally went to #4 and fell down the chart quickly, never to really be seen again - "A Girl Like Me" sold around 100,000 copies in the UK, much like Geri's "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster". Future singles from the album did nothing to increase sales, and resulted in Virgin dropping Emma from their record label. Only the release of "Take My Breath Away" brought the album back into the Top 75 for a few weeks.CD Album £11.99 |

What Took You So Long ? - 02/04/01
"What Took You So Long" was the second single from the then forthcoming album "A Girl Like Me". The song was heavily promoted and had a good video, thus increasing the chances of a good chart position. But nobody expected that the song would stay at #1 for two weeks, beating off competition from big artists such as Janet Jackson. "What Took You So Long" sold around 240,000 copies altogether - gaining the song a Silver award, and the song was the 41st best seller of 2001.CD Single£3.99 |
