"Nothing Like the Rain" is a song recorded by Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited.

Release and reception

"Nothing Like The Rain" was released as the fourth and final single from 2 Unlimited's third album Real Things.[1]

In their native Netherlands the single peaked at #6. Otherwise, "Nothing Like The Rain" was the least successful commercial release to date with limited chart notability in Europe, the latter charting at number 68 on the (Eurochart Hot 100). But did not receive a UK release. Probably because it was the only ballad song that 2 Unlimited had ever released.

"Nothing Like The Rain" was released as a double a side single in the US with European hit single "Here I Go".

Ballads

2 Unlimited included ballads at the end of their three first studio albums:

  • "Desire" and "Eternally Yours" on Get Ready!
  • "Where Are You Now" and "Shelter For A Rainy Day" on No Limits
  • "Nothing Like The Rain" on Real Things
  • "Nothing Like The Rain" was the only ballad the band released as a single.
