Unbelievable

I can't do a blog about EMF without mentioning the fantastic British band of the same name, who had numerous hits in the 1990's.

"Unbelievable" was their biggest hit, a song originally appearing on their debut album Schubert Dip. It was released as a single in the UK in 1990, peaking in the UK Singles Chart at number three on 1 December 1990. It was the 32nd best-selling single of 1990 in the UK. In the United States, it hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on 20 July 1991; if one counts a #1 twice if it had two runs at the top (analogous to the official system of numbering U.S. presidents), it was the 1,000th #1 in Billboard history.  The song contains samples of US comedian Andrew Dice Clay throughout the track, including the loud exclamation of "oh!" at the start of each chorus along with the words "it's unbelievable" spoken during the bridge. The track was produced by Ralph Jezzard.
