Crazy to think that was #1 in the UK. Pretty much as far from the Bee Gees as they could have gotten!

The UK is weird though, just a little island and all. I think Motorhead had a #1 song or album or something there once.

Edit: they did, the live album No Sleep 'Till Hammersmith

When I was born, A Funk Odyssey by Jamiroquai was the number one album in Australia. The rest of the top 10 included Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park, Toxicity by System of a Down, and the new entry Home From Home by Millencolin.

The singles were better. 'Whenever, Wherever' by Shakira was #1, but highlights included 'Murder on the Dancefloor' by Sophie Ellis-Bextor and 'Not Pretty Enough' by Casey Chambers.
