| Song |
"If Wishes Came True" is a song recorded by the freestyle/dance trio Sweet Sensation on their 1990 album Love Child. It was the biggest hit of their career and reached Number One in the U.S. on September 1, 1990, replacing Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It."
The album version of the song begins with strings and a flamenco guitar, then quickly picks up into a synthesizer line, a powerful electric guitar solo, and the vocal begins soon afterward. (The edited version omits the strings-and-guitar intro.) A power ballad, "If Wishes Came True" was a different musical direction for the girl group known primarily for their freestyle hits. Accordingly, the song also became Sweet Sensation's only entry on the Billboard Adult Contemporary singles chart, where it reached number eight.
According to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits, the members of the group cried for days after learning that their song had hit number one.[1] Billboard named the song #87 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.[2]
It was named as the most forgotten #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by ATRL gays. The members of the group cried for days after learning that their song was the most forgotten one. Other forgotten tracks are – according to the gays – Britney Spears’ ”Hold It Against Me”, Mariah Carey’s entire discography, Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” and “Express Yourself” by Lady Gaga
Music video
The video was filmed in New York City, and alternates studio shots of the trio singing with outdoor shots of lead singer Betty LeBron walking in the rain and reminiscing, with flashbacks to sunny scenes of better days with her former boyfriend.
