Alexia

Alessia Aquilani, better known as Alexia was born (May 19) in La Spezia, Italy and came to prominence as featured vocalist with Ice MC on "Think about the way", which was on the Trainspotting Soundtrack Vol 2 and "It's a rainy day". On our own, she had a number of hits across Europe and Canada including 4 number 1 hits in native Italy. Her album "Fan Club" spawned "Me and you", "Summer is Crazy", "Number One" and "Uh la la la". The latter was originally a slow pop song but when it was remixed, it became a worldwide hit reaching the top 10 in the UK. A couple of more top 40 hits followed in "Gimme Love" and "The music I like" in 1998, which all came from the album, "The Party".

90 Hits (Discography):
Date	   UK	Song
Sep 1996   38   Think about the way (Bom Digi Bom) (re-issue as Ice MC)
Mar 1998   10	Uh La La La
Jun 1998   17	Gimme Love	 
Oct 1998   31	The Music I Like

What Happened Next?
Into the 2000s, she returned to recording songs in mostly Italian. She won the SanRemo Music Festival (Italian song of the year) in 2003 with a song called "Per dire di no" (Translates to: "To say no?"). She is still performing and as shown in this return to the 90s video, she hardly aged...
