"Fu-Gee-La" - The Fugees (Refugee Camp)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   For a little deeper research, the "Fu-Gee-La" CD single came out at the very end of 1995 and sold well enough to enter the top 10 on the rap chart in January 1996.  Urban radio started spinning it lightly at the end of January, and BET was also playing the video in heavy rotation (no regular MTV rotation).  By the end of February, it peaked on urban radio in the mid-20s, so it never became huge on that format, but that's probably largely because the last week of February "Killing Me Softly" debuted on the urban chart at #39, shooting up to #13 the following week.  That song was all the buzz at the time, and there was no stopping it.
