On this night in 2001 you were listening to... Geri Halliwell

A Friday Flashback to get your weekend started.

LET’S BE HONEST – the Weather Girls’ fantasy song It’s Raining Men is a classic.

But did it need to be covered by flame-haired, husk-voiced and slightly terrifying ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell? No.

Still, that didn’t stop it getting to number one for the entire month of May in 2001.

If you bought this single that year, sit there for a while and think about what you did.
