"Barbie girl" - Aqua
Half-term means they sold 239,000 copies last week, over 100k ahead of "Torn".
I've never quite understood the appeal of this song, especially compared to the rest of Aqua's work but that's my problem.
"Barbie girl" - Aqua
Selling 190,000 copies - compared to the Spices' 162,000 - the brighter-than-cartoons band rise to the top.
Take the world's most popular toy and turn it into - well, whatever the lyric is.
And sell it with all the commitment of No Doubt (and more than a bit of the look).
More Top of the Pops after this intermission!
I spent a good part of my afternoon just *using* this beautiful device, running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). There is not much you can do with these anymore except write — but write you can.
I am in awe of the level of attention to detail and how carefully designed it was. And how fast this thing is on a shitty Intel Core 2 Duo with 2Gb RAM.
This is what they took from us… I wish you could use devices like this for real today.

(Looked surprisingly good in dark mode as well, I have to say.)

@samhenrigold I'm curious to know if this is the case for modern macOS today or is #Aqua the core UI interface?
