![]() ![]() We were like, ‘we’re set for life!’ The UK market is probably the most important and influential in Europe. One day we had a conference call with our management in Holland and they told us we were Number 1 in the UK. “My favourite memory of the song is when we were touring in America, which was amazing as four young people – our first time in America! – and touring radio shows with Christina Aguilera, N*Sync and Ricky Martin. People kept telling us we were the next one-hit wonder. With every song we put out we thought it could be the last, so let’s just enjoy it while we can. When you’re young you tend to believe that. At the start we were labelled as the most loved and the most hated band in pop. Kim: “Entry at Number 1! We had no idea this would be a hit, to be honest with you. UK chart sales: 1.1 million | 51 million streams Our hearts are now filled with warmth looking back on those times.” 1. Looking back to our late teens/early twenties, it was a totally different ballgame. “We have so many memories of the nineties, that’s why we want to bring it back!” Kim explains. In three years, Vengaboys notched up an impressive nine Top 40 hits on the Official Singles Chart, plus two Top 10 albums. To celebrate their return, we’ve gone back to 1999 (and a bit before then) with the group and reminisce over their Official Top 5 biggest singles in the UK. “We’re a bit nervous,” she adds, “but hopefully we’ll make her proud.” At the time of the interview, Charli hadn’t heard their take on the song. “It’s the perfect song for us - and it’s perfect timing,” Kim told us during our chat with the group over Zoom. In their quest to turn back time, they’ve released a cover of Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s throwback smash 1999, and like the hits from their heyday, it’s a love-it-or-loathe-it affair - and comes with a music video that would cause any respected lawyer to break out in a cold sweat. To alleviate our woes, the Dutch Eurodance troupe - Kim, Denise, Robin and Donny - want to take us back to the nineties a time when they were at the very height of their powers as they trotted across the globe on their famous Vengabus. Times are tough, and Vengaboys have had enough. ![]()
