Invariably, one of the catchiest songs of the nineties, Tubthumping by Chumbawamba was and still is so much more than just a raucous drinking song that epitomised the nineties.
At almost 28 years old, it remains ubiquitous as ever and is a mainstay played at parties, sporting events and to gee up concert goers awaiting their musical heroes at gigs.
Released in 1997, Tubthumping went to number two in the UK singles chart and peaked at number six in the US. It was also a top 10 hit in New Zealand, Australia, Italy and Canada.
Tubthumping is a song of perseverance that belongs to everyone; from supporters at football matches to athletes, mothers, teenagers and more. The band and song were an overnight success after the release of the track in August 1997, however, Chumawamba had existed for almost 20 years prior to delivering their biggest hit, which was widely regarded as a one-hit wonder.
