"Blame It on the Weatherman" is a song by Irish girl group B*Witched, written by Ray "Madman" Hedges, Martin Brannigan, Tracy Ackerman, and Andy Caine. It was released as the fourth single from their self-titled debut studio album on 15 March 1999.
Like the other three singles from the album, "Blame It on the Weatherman" reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. With this, B*Witched became the first act ever to have their first four singles all debut at number one in the UK[citation needed] (a record since beaten by fellow Irish band Westlife)[1] and today remain the only girl group to do so.[2] In Ireland, it reached number eight, while in New Zealand, it became the group's first single to miss the top 10, stalling at number 29. The song was certified silver in the UK with sales of 200,000.
