CEJ is a song that is similar in sound to that "country" version of "Pump Up the Volume", that's all.
(and I think CEJ is from 1995?)

I much prefer Kylie post Stock/Aitken/Waterman, though like everyone else at my primary school, I did enjoy having a bop to "Locomotion".
"Confide In Me" was an excelent single. 8)

Looking through the complete American Charts of the 80's, I could give you atleast 50 songs that really are questionable as to how they ever charted.  .  If I get a chance, I'll post some clips of them.  You won't believe the kinds of songs that were minor hits in the U.S. :o

Hey, I liked Tiffany! I Think We're Alone Now and Could've Been were great. Okay, I didn't like her remake of The Beatles I Saw Her Standing There. Not because I didn't like Tiffany, but, and I know I'm in a very small minority, because I didn't and still don't like The Beatles. I'll never understand their popularity, I just don't care for most of their stuff. I just don't get it. There I said it. There are a few songs of theirs I like, Act Naturally and When I'm 64 come to mind. I think there's a few more but that's it. The rest of their songs I can pretty much just do without.

Bobby Mcfarin's "Don't worry be happy" Listening to that was more annoying than hearing your favorite song done in elevator music.

Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" Mediocre song, overplayed way too much

Milli Vanelli's "Blame it on the rain"

Living Colours "Cult of personality" Another boring song that got way too much airtime simply because it was considered novel at the time that it was a rock group comprised of African Americans, parallels were made to Jimi Hendrix. They just were not that good, sorry.
