Celebrating the best One Hit Wonders from 1999, including Sugar Ray, Baz Luhrmann and Lou Bega.

This week’s show is a 1999 Special, celebrating One Hit Wonders, from 22 years ago!

1999 was the year of 'Tarzan', the Playstation 2 and yapping Furby toys.

This episode features a song that stayed at number one for 20 weeks and another that was Canada’s second most successful single of the year.

There’s also a track that was referred to as ‘a line-dancing song, reworked for the techno market’.
