2nd JAN 1994
Starting the year with some new years oldies: that’s Frankie Goes To Hollywood 1984 chart-topper back at the top 10 years on, and also a New Years Eve live concert in Bournemouth. Support act were the fab T.Rexstasy doing a great Marc Bolan with tracks like Hot Love and Get It On, and headline act was now-disgraced popstar Gary Glitter. Back in the 80’s and early 90’s he was annual live xmas draw, a great night out, lads singalong, and it was even broadcast live on TV from Bournemouth one year. Great records like Rock & Roll, I Didn’t Know I Loved You and Always Yours were fab to singalong to. Who knew eh… The usual post-Christmas slow-down in my charts was countered here by great cult and occasional minor chart band The The with a big Top 20 new entry, and a high re-entry for US mega-hit chanter Whoomp! There It Is. I think the UK chart version was a lesser remix though, eventually. Mike Oldfield gets Portsmouth and In Dulce Jubilo into the Top for the 2nd time, and Top 20 for the 3rd time. I went to see Portsmouth play Newcastle a few years back and it was great to hear Mike Oldfield still being played somewhere! Other than that, lots of MOR soul, bit of reggae, and some big names back with ballads, like Diana Ross (her great years were behind her by now) and Wet Wet Wet (sporadically good, as here). In my life, my year of playing golf was coming to an end as I couldn’t get the hang of it, so I stuck with darts and snooker, badminton and squash with mates instead.

9th JAN 1994
Janet Jackson gets her 3rd Number One with a lovely gentle ballad, The The shoot into the Top 5 and Wet Wet Wet positively rocket up to 7 with a minor sweet ballad. Lots of remixes and re-entries enter, from D:Ream’s anthem (plus Prof Cox) and Mission’s 80’s gothrocker to REM’s great non-hit. Meanwhile Darlene Love gets a late Christmas hit, one of the 90’s few goodies in that genre, and 30 years after her previous classics with Phil Spector. Apart from those, the lack of good new releases allows more MOR and lesser records to climb, flattering them more than they deserve… 1 ( 3 ) AGAIN Janet Jackson 2 ( 2 ) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS The Bee Gees 3 ( 5 ) STOP LOVING ME STOP LOVING YOU Daryl Hall 4 ( 1 ) THE POWER OF LOVE Frankie Goes To Hollywood 5 ( 18 ) THAT WAS THE DAY The The 6 ( 4 ) I WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO THIS KIND OF THING Pet Shop Boys 7 ( 73 ) COLD COLD HEART Wet Wet Wet 8 ( NEW ) THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER (REMIX) D:Ream 9 ( NEW ) TOWER OF STRENGTH (REMIX) The Mission 10 ( 13 ) BREATHE AGAIN Toni Braxton 11 ( 6 ) LONG TRAIN RUNNIN' 93 The Doobie Brothers 12 ( 21 ) TWIST AND SHOUT Chaka Demus and Pliers 13 ( 10 ) IT'S ALRIGHT East 17 14 ( 40 ) HERO Mariah Carey 15 ( 7 ) RUNAWAY TRAIN Soul Asylum 16 ( 9 ) IN DULCE JUBILO/ PORTSMOUTH Mike Oldfield 17 ( 15 ) NO RAIN Blind Melon 18 ( 22 ) ACTION Def Leppard 19 ( 20 ) A WHOLE NEW WORLD Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle 20 ( 8 ) WALKING ON AIR Bad Boys Inc 21 ( 14 ) BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA David Bowie 22 ( 30 ) FEELIN' ALRIGHT EYC 23 ( 26 ) WHOOMP (THERE IT IS) Tag Team 24 ( 11 ) I WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY Saint Etienne 25 ( 16 ) MOMENTS OF PLEASURE Kate Bush 26 ( 27 ) ALL FOR LOVE Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams and Sting 27 ( 17 ) BAT OUT OF HELL Meatloaf 28 ( 19 ) TRUE LOVE Elton John and Kiki Dee 29 ( 12 ) HUMAN NATURE/GONE TOO SOON Michael Jackson 30 ( NEW ) ALL ALONE ON CHRISTMAS Darlene Love 31 ( 29 ) GO WEST Pet Shop Boys 32 ( 24 ) Y.M.C.A.

16th JAN 1994
Straight in at Number One, by virtue of being a charting album track that had previously never charted, Queen finally get that deserved topper with the B Side of We Are The Champions. Outrageous it wasn’t an A Side, it gives Queen their 7th Number One (and Freddie’s 8th) while D;Ream’s Top 10 1993 hit goes Top 5 in remix form but doesn’t quite top the chart (like Ur The Best Thing did). A Beatles (and others) cover hits 10 reggae stylee, Bitty McLean reggaes into the Top 20 and Aretha’s last great dance single enters at 23. Things get a bit more interesting lower down the chart with new entries for Ace Of Base, Ce Ce Peniston (thank heavens for the last 3 letters, eh?), Terrorvision (one of my fave frantic pop metal acts of the time), and Cher sees the funny side of Beavis & Butt-head. More than I ever did…. This week, outside the charts, I was also loving the (Bob) Newhart (Henry Mancini instrumental) TV theme (should have allowed it to chart!), oldie Tom Tom Turnaround (oh how I wish someone would cover that on The Voice just for a laugh - Sir Tom Jones in the chair? Please yourself!), and Best Of Blue Mink a forgotten greatest hits package filled with perfect pop and soul singles from 4 years of hits. 1 ( NEW ) WE WILL ROCK YOU Queen 2 ( 3 ) STOP LOVING ME STOP LOVING YOU Daryl Hall 3 ( 7 ) COLD COLD HEART Wet Wet Wet 4 ( 8 ) THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER (REMIX) D:Ream 5 ( 2 ) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS The Bee Gees 6 ( 1 ) AGAIN Janet Jackson 7 ( 5 ) THAT WAS THE DAY The The 8 ( 6 ) I WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO THIS KIND OF THING Pet Shop Boys 9 ( 4 ) THE POWER OF LOVE Frankie Goes To Hollywood 10 ( 12 ) TWIST AND SHOUT Chaka Demus and Pliers 11 ( 10 ) BREATHE AGAIN Toni Braxton 12 ( 9 ) TOWER OF STRENGTH (REMIX) The Mission 13 ( 11 ) LONG TRAIN RUNNIN' 93 The Doobie Brothers 14 ( 19 ) A WHOLE NEW WORLD Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle 15 ( 13 ) IT'S ALRIGHT East 17 16 ( 18 ) ACTION Def Leppard 17 ( 17 ) NO RAIN Blind Melon 18 ( 39 ) HERE I STAND Bitty McLean 19 ( 14 ) HERO Mariah Carey 20 ( 23 ) WHOOMP (THERE IT IS) Tag Team 21 ( 15 ) RUNAWAY TRAIN Soul Asylum 22 ( 26 ) ALL FOR LOVE Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams and Sting 23 ( NEW ) A DEEPER LOVE Aretha Franklin and C+C Music Factory 24 ( 16 ) IN DULCE JUBILO/ PORTSMOUTH Mike Oldfield 25 ( 50 ) FAMILY AFFAIR Shabba Ranks 26 ( 22 ) FEELIN' ALRIGHT EYC 27 ( 21 ) BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA David Bowie 28 ( 25 ) MOMENTS OF PLEASURE Kate Bush 29 ( 29 ) HUMAN NATURE/GONE TOO SOON Michael Jackson 30 ( 28 ) TRUE LOVE Elton John and Kiki Dee 31 ( 31 ) GO WEST Pet Shop Boys 32 ( 20 ) WALKING ON AIR Bad Boys Inc 33 ( 68 ) EVERYDAY Phil Collins 34 ( 72 ) ANYTHING Culture Beat 35 ( 33 ) A HARD DAYS NIGHT Peter Sellers 36 ( 40 ) FIND THE RIVER REM 37 ( 61 ) SATURN 5 Inspiral Carpets 38 ( 34 ) DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER M People 39 ( 24 ) I WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY Saint Etienne 40 ( 30 ) ALL ALONE ON CHRISTMAS Darlene Love 41 ( 35 ) BRING ME YOUR CUP UB40 42 ( 27 ) BAT OUT OF HELL Meatloaf 43 ( 36 ) THE PERFECT YEAR Dina Carroll 44 ( 41 ) LIFE Haddaway 45 ( NEW ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 46 ( NEW ) WHY DON'T YOU TAKE ME One Dove 47 ( 46 ) PAYING THE PRICE OF LOVE The Bee Gees 48 ( 56 ) COME BABY COME K7 49 ( 38 ) JUST KEEP ME MOVING k.d.

23rd JAN 1994
Daryl Hall gets his only solo chart-topper with a Marvin Gaye tribute (ish) soul song 12 years after his previous (with John Oates) I Can’t Go For That. Still going strong they appear in Bournemouth this year and Daryl has his own internet show. Def Leppard meanwhile copy The Sweet by going Top 10 with Action, and straight into the Top 10 Enigma’s new sound 3 years on from big Number One Sadeness. Inspiral Carpets rocket (literally) into the 20 with Saturn V. You can stand under one of these in Florida, they are Huge! Thomas Dolby’s still hyperactive 10 years on, an album track that should been a single enters for Elton & kd, and just to frighten the children 2 consecutive Mariah Carey ballads in the Top 40 and Garth Brooks as a new entry. 1 ( 2 ) STOP LOVING ME STOP LOVING YOU Daryl Hall 2 ( 4 ) THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER (REMIX) D:Ream 3 ( 1 ) WE WILL ROCK YOU Queen 4 ( 3 ) COLD COLD HEART Wet Wet Wet 5 ( 5 ) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS The Bee Gees 6 ( 7 ) THAT WAS THE DAY The The 7 ( 16 ) ACTION Def Leppard 8 ( 8 ) I WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO THIS KIND OF THING Pet Shop Boys 9 ( 6 ) AGAIN Janet Jackson 10 ( NEW ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 11 ( 10 ) TWIST AND SHOUT Chaka Demus and Pliers 12 ( 23 ) A DEEPER LOVE Aretha Franklin and C+C Music Factory 13 ( 37 ) SATURN 5 Inspiral Carpets 14 ( 18 ) HERE I STAND Bitty McLean 15 ( 13 ) LONG TRAIN RUNNIN' 93 The Doobie Brothers 16 ( 9 ) THE POWER OF LOVE Frankie Goes To Hollywood 17 ( 11 ) BREATHE AGAIN Toni Braxton 18 ( 12 ) TOWER OF STRENGTH (REMIX) The Mission 19 ( 60 ) I'M IN THE MOOD Ce Ce Peniston 20 ( 14 ) A WHOLE NEW WORLD Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle 21 ( 75 ) CAN'T TAKE YOUR LOVE Pauline Henry 22 ( 15 ) IT'S ALRIGHT East 17 23 ( 21 ) RUNAWAY TRAIN Soul Asylum 24 ( 33 ) EVERYDAY Phil Collins 25 ( 25 ) FAMILY AFFAIR Shabba Ranks 26 ( 73 ) I GOT YOU BABE Cher and Beavis and Butt-Head 27 ( 17 ) NO RAIN Blind Melon 28 ( 34 ) ANYTHING Culture Beat 29 ( NEW ) HYPERACTIVE (REMIX) Thomas Dolby 30 ( 20 ) WHOOMP (THERE IT IS) Tag Team 31 ( 29 ) HUMAN NATURE/GONE TOO SOON Michael Jackson 32 ( 31 ) GO WEST Pet Shop Boys 33 ( NEW ) TEARDROPS Elton John and k.d.Lang 34 ( 28 ) MOMENTS OF PLEASURE Kate Bush 35 ( 48 ) COME BABY COME K7 36 ( NEW ) WITHOUT YOU Mariah Carey 37 ( 19 ) HERO Mariah Carey 38 ( 27 ) BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA David Bowie 39 ( NEW ) I'M IN LUV Joe 40 ( 70 ) SAVE OUR LOVE Eternal 41 ( 24 ) IN DULCE JUBILO/ PORTSMOUTH Mike Oldfield 42 ( NEW ) CORNFLAKE GIRL Tori Amos 43 ( 35 ) A HARD DAYS NIGHT Peter Sellers 44 ( 22 ) ALL FOR LOVE Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams and Sting 45 ( 45 ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 46 ( NEW ) STAY WITH ME BABY Ruby Turner 47 ( 44 ) LIFE Haddaway 48 ( 30 ) TRUE LOVE Elton John and Kiki Dee 49 ( 56 ) WHO LET IN THE RAIN Cyndi Lauper 50 ( 38 ) DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER M People 51 ( 47 ) PAYING THE PRICE OF LOVE The Bee Gees 52 ( 52 ) DANCING QUEEN/ EAGLE Abba 53 ( 32 ) WALKING ON AIR Bad Boys Inc 54 ( 54 ) 20th CENTURY BOY T.Rex 55 ( 39 ) I WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY Saint Etienne 56 ( NEW ) I LOVE MUSIC Rozalla 57 ( 55 ) RELAX Frankie Goes To Hollywood 58 ( 26 ) FEELIN' ALRIGHT EYC 59 ( NEW ) BLACK GOLD Soul Asylum 60 ( 36 ) FIND THE RIVER REM 61 ( 64 ) YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN' The Righteous Brothers 62 ( 63 ) HEY JUDE/ REVOLUTION The Beatles 63 ( 50 ) MY HOUSE Terrorvision 64 ( 40 ) ALL ALONE ON CHRISTMAS Darlene Love 65 ( 49 ) JUST KEEP ME MOVING k.d.

30th JAN 1994
A new number one for the 5th week in a row this month, Enigma getting their 2nd and doing it in 2 weeks. I even bought the album rather than the single, for a change. Aretha gets her first Top 10 in a few years, and a total of 26 years of ‘em (yes even 20 years we were talking decades of my charts!), while Ruby Turner tackles that massive 60’s soul ballad Stay With Me Baby: few can do it successfully and nobody beats the sheer mania of Lorraine Ellison’s original. One of the crimes of pop that it’s never charted while covers of it have, and it’s a vocal performance that needs to be heard to be believed. Highest new entry is that delicious Linger, The Cranberries sadly decided to swap gentleness for shrieking after this single and became one of my pet annoyances of the 90’s. The Orb slide in, Womack and Womack sneak in under an alias that didn’t fool me, and Paul Rodgers was still alright now 23 years after Free debuted. Sadly, as if a Mariah Carey cover of a classic ballad wasn’t punishment enough, Celine Dion does it too, and I wouldn’t bet on the chances of either of them challenging the chart positions of the originals (in my charts, of course, for some reason record buyers loved them). 1 ( 10 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 2 ( 1 ) STOP LOVING ME STOP LOVING YOU Daryl Hall 3 ( 2 ) THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER (REMIX) D:Ream 4 ( 7 ) ACTION Def Leppard 5 ( 5 ) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS The Bee Gees 6 ( 3 ) WE WILL ROCK YOU Queen 7 ( 6 ) THAT WAS THE DAY The The 8 ( 12 ) A DEEPER LOVE Aretha Franklin and C+C Music Factory 9 ( 4 ) COLD COLD HEART Wet Wet Wet 10 ( 19 ) I'M IN THE MOOD Ce Ce Peniston 11 ( 9 ) AGAIN Janet Jackson 12 ( 8 ) I WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO THIS KIND OF THING Pet Shop Boys 13 ( 46 ) STAY WITH ME BABY Ruby Turner 14 ( 13 ) SATURN 5 Inspiral Carpets 15 ( 11 ) TWIST AND SHOUT Chaka Demus and Pliers 16 ( 26 ) I GOT YOU BABE Cher and Beavis and Butt-Head 17 ( 14 ) HERE I STAND Bitty McLean 18 ( 24 ) EVERYDAY Phil Collins 19 ( 74 ) UPTIGHT Shara Nelson 20 ( 21 ) CAN'T TAKE YOUR LOVE Pauline Henry 21 ( 15 ) LONG TRAIN RUNNIN' 93 The Doobie Brothers 22 ( 16 ) THE POWER OF LOVE Frankie Goes To Hollywood 23 ( 20 ) A WHOLE NEW WORLD Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle 24 ( 17 ) BREATHE AGAIN Toni Braxton 25 ( 29 ) HYPERACTIVE (REMIX) Thomas Dolby 26 ( NEW ) LINGER The Cranberries 27 ( 18 ) TOWER OF STRENGTH (REMIX) The Mission 28 ( 42 ) CORNFLAKE GIRL Tori Amos 29 ( NEW ) PERPETUAL DAWN The Orb 30 ( 23 ) RUNAWAY TRAIN Soul Asylum 31 ( 22 ) IT'S ALRIGHT East 17 32 ( NEW ) THE POWER OF LOVE Celine Dion 33 ( 36 ) WITHOUT YOU Mariah Carey 34 ( 27 ) NO RAIN Blind Melon 35 ( 32 ) GO WEST Pet Shop Boys 36 ( 39 ) I'M IN LUV Joe 37 ( NEW ) LOVER Joe Roberts 38 ( 28 ) ANYTHING Culture Beat 39 ( 49 ) WHO LET IN THE RAIN Cyndi Lauper 40 ( 66 ) THE RED STROKES Garth Brooks 41 ( 38 ) BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA David Bowie 42 ( 31 ) HUMAN NATURE/GONE TOO SOON Michael Jackson 43 ( 40 ) SAVE OUR LOVE Eternal 44 ( 34 ) MOMENTS OF PLEASURE Kate Bush 45 ( 41 ) IN DULCE JUBILO/ PORTSMOUTH Mike Oldfield 46 ( 59 ) BLACK GOLD Soul Asylum 47 ( 33 ) TEARDROPS Elton John and k.d.Lang 48 ( NEW ) SECRET STAR Womack and Womack (House Of Zekkarius) 49 ( 72 ) PIN CUSHION ZZ Top 50 ( NEW ) HEY JEALOUSY Gin Blossoms 51 ( 47 ) LIFE Haddaway 52 ( 52 ) DANCING QUEEN/ EAGLE Abba 53 ( 30 ) WHOOMP (THERE IT IS) Tag Team 54 ( 54 ) 20th CENTURY BOY T.Rex 55 ( 56 ) I LOVE MUSIC Rozalla 56 ( 51 ) PAYING THE PRICE OF LOVE The Bee Gees 57 ( 43 ) A HARD DAYS NIGHT Peter Sellers 58 ( NEW ) ASTRAL AMERICA Apollo 440 59 ( 25 ) FAMILY AFFAIR Shabba Ranks 60 ( 35 ) COME BABY COME K7 61 ( 57 ) RELAX Frankie Goes To Hollywood 62 ( 53 ) WALKING ON AIR Bad Boys Inc 63 ( 61 ) YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN' The Righteous Brothers 64 ( 62 ) HEY JUDE/ REVOLUTION The Beatles 65 ( 44 ) ALL FOR LOVE Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams and Sting 66 ( NEW ) NOW AND FOREVER Richard Marx 67 ( 69 ) IN YOUR ROOM Depeche Mode 68 ( 37 ) HERO Mariah Carey 69 ( 45 ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 70 ( 48 ) TRUE LOVE Elton John and Kiki Dee 71 ( 65 ) JUST KEEP ME MOVING k.d.

In from nowhere, knocking a World Music track off the top…another World Music track! Deep Forest was one of those Tree-hugging Sting-promoting type records to help save the Rainforests that were subject to ridicule by powerful vested-interest newspapers and crap comics. Or, as I prefer to think of them, selfish morons who think it’s hilarious that the planets lungs are being systematically decimated and untold species wiped-out. Real belly-laughs there, then. The rate of the Amazon loss might have slowed recently, but it’s still going on and 20 years later it’s frightening how much has been lost. The record? It’s beautiful. A big soul climber for Joe Roberts, to 3, The Cranberries gentle guitar pop to 9, and The Orb’s New Age-ish sounds to 10. Cathy Dennis gets back with D Mob for a final fling at the charts, pretty much before switching to song writing and mega-success. Oh and another New Age record at 23, I think I was getting my Second-Wind as Hippie-by-inclination (too young to be one at the time)… Significant Top 40 entries for Red Hot Chili Peppers and pop-wise Ace Of Base, and while Mariah was warbling her torturous cover up the charts, the Nilsson version was topping my play list along with Nancy Sinatra’s Greatest Hits and It Never Rains In Southern California (Albert Hammond). Happily, Saint Etienne, Kate Bush, The Charlatans and Crowded House shone a bit of minor light lower down from the pompous big international diva chart hits middling it up in my charts for a few weeks, largely due to the songs rather than the quality of the records. 1 ( NEW ) SWEET LULLABY Deep Forest 2 ( 1 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 3 ( 37 ) LOVER Joe Roberts 4 ( 2 ) STOP LOVING ME STOP LOVING YOU Daryl Hall 5 ( 3 ) THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER (REMIX) D:Ream 6 ( 5 ) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS The Bee Gees 7 ( 8 ) A DEEPER LOVE Aretha Franklin and C+C Music Factory 8 ( 4 ) ACTION Def Leppard 9 ( 26 ) LINGER The Cranberries 10 ( 29 ) PERPETUAL DAWN The Orb 11 ( 6 ) WE WILL ROCK YOU Queen 12 ( 19 ) UPTIGHT Shara Nelson 13 ( 13 ) STAY WITH ME BABY Ruby Turner 14 ( 7 ) THAT WAS THE DAY The The 15 ( NEW ) WHY?

13th FEB 1994
Another new entry at the top for the second week in a row - this time it’s 1972 classic Without You in it’s definitive version, the heart-breaking vocal by Nilsson. It had peaked at 2 first time round, and Top 10 again in 1976, this time with the recent death of Harry Nilsson (a great singer) and the comparison of UK chart number 1 (Mariah Carey) justice prevails in my chart-world. In at 7 from nowhere, Texas do a dramatic ballad, and it’s fab. I love Sharleen when she gets all soulful. A big leap for Saint Etienne into the Top 20, ditto Womack and Womack aka House Of Zakkarius. Meanwhile The Proclaimers want to get married and go Top 40, along with a good new entry from Level 42. Occasionally great, they were well out of fashion by 1994, unfairly I thought, as they were pretty good as their career dipped out and away. In the play list world of oldies, I was mad on Talk Of The USA all over again (Middle Of The Road non-hit from 1973), loving the classy gentle instrumental theme by Henry Mancini to gentle classy quirky US sitcom Newhart, and Love Train by the O’Jays (obviously reviewing 1973 charts that week!). 1 ( NEW ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 2 ( 3 ) LOVER Joe Roberts 3 ( 1 ) SWEET LULLABY Deep Forest 4 ( 2 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 5 ( 9 ) LINGER The Cranberries 6 ( 7 ) A DEEPER LOVE Aretha Franklin and C+C Music Factory 7 ( NEW ) SO IN LOVE WITH YOU Texas 8 ( 4 ) STOP LOVING ME STOP LOVING YOU Daryl Hall 9 ( 12 ) UPTIGHT Shara Nelson 10 ( 15 ) WHY?

20th FEB 1994
2 weeks for Nilsson, while other oldies joining the chartparty are Joan Jett (from 1982), and Frankie Goes To Hollywood (via remix and a third in a row from 1984 to chart). New Kids On The Block get all grown up, and release an actual decent pop record under their initials. Sadly, 10-year-old girls didn’t like the change, and more serious fans couldn’t face grudgingly admitting it was OK, so that, more or less, was them done for. Sting returns with another jazz-flavoured ballad. 20 years on, I still have ambitions for Sting to release an actual exciting record again, and I’d already harboured those ambitions for 10 years in 1994. With an actual exciting pop rock record, meanwhile, The Wildhearts Bomb into my Top 40. Always under-rated they were, possibly as they were rather manic and fun for serious musos whom presume dour means meaningful, and intense equals passion, and fun is just bubblegum. Pah! Suede also return, much-loved by their generation of fans, and sometimes loved by me. Several future number ones from the band and ex-members are forecast, but here a minor entry (so far). 1 ( 1 ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 2 ( 4 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 3 ( 3 ) SWEET LULLABY Deep Forest 4 ( 2 ) LOVER Joe Roberts 5 ( 5 ) LINGER The Cranberries 6 ( 7 ) SO IN LOVE WITH YOU Texas 7 ( 10 ) WHY?

3 weeks for Nilsson at 1, 1 week for another Nilsson at 75 - Josefin. Abba's Bjorn and Benny, basically. The charts go mad with new entries, lots of them pretty good: Morrissey with one of his best, Beck grunge-shuffling his way to declare he's a Loser. Know how he feels. Springsteen with the fab movie theme; Whatta Man, En Vogue & Salt n Pepa declaring the start of that modern curse: urban superstar duets. Thanks Gals! Meanwhile Nat & eartha enter with records not necessarily well-known, but plugged via adverts. Also a modern phenomenon, but one I'm more in favour of! Ace Of Base finally get cracking into the Top 10; Cocteau's are cool at 40; Jimmy Cliff, reggae legend, does a film-related of the very under-rated non-reggae legend Johnny Nash, US Sam Cooke soundalike who was the first ever reggae breakthrough act in the UK and the US. He wrote I Can See Clearly Now, and covered Bob Marley 3 years before his breakthrough.

6th March 1994
4 weeks for Nilsson, presiding over a very volatile chart, much like the singles chart, and very indie-looking suddenly, also much like the UK singles chart. Ace Of Base get their second Top 3 single, Level 42 get their first (and last) Top 5. In at 8, 1986 classic ballad Wonderful Life, fabulous song, and then suddenly a host of huge jumpers: Carter with their glam-trib song at 9, Inspiral Carpets (helped by Mark E Smith of The Fall) rocket from 72 to 15, and Morrissey is back on form and shoots from 58 to 17. Some golden oldies enter too, Elvis Costello sulking at 22, Alison Moyet whispers at 24 with her best Lightning-Seed-tastic single, while Boy George swears he misses us blind at 27, a remix of Culture Club’s brilliant 1983 album track. Jimmy Cliff takes Johnny Nash’s Clearly Now up to 20, Smashing Pumpkins enter at 38, Suede go Top 40 just ahead of Beck, for a right ol’ indie rock delight. Guns’ n Roses cover a 50’s classic (album track), joining 50’s acts Eartha Kitt and Nat ‘King’ Cole in the chart, (advert related), while there’s also a delightful dance new entry - no not Doop. Not Cappella. Both are fine, but Jam ‘n’ Spoon was the main one at a lowly 70. 1 ( 1 ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 2 ( 2 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 3 ( 6 ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 4 ( 3 ) LINGER The Cranberries 5 ( 7 ) FOREVER NOW Level 42 6 ( 5 ) LOVER Joe Roberts 7 ( 4 ) SWEET LULLABY Deep Forest 8 ( NEW ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 9 ( 56 ) GLAM ROCK COPS Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine 10 ( 13 ) I CAN'T WAIT TO BE WITH YOU DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince 11 ( 11 ) UPTIGHT Shara Nelson 12 ( 8 ) WHY?

5 weeks for Nilsson, heading for the all-time chart points Top 20 by this stage. Black do what they should have done first-time round and go up to 4. In at 5, from nowhere, though it’s the best Rolling Stones record in 20 years. Err I mean it’s Primal Scream getting their Rocks off. Alison meanwhile gets her first Top 10 in 7 years. The Inspiral Carpets get another Top 10 hit, and it’s only fair they bring Mark E Smith along, as he never had a big hit with The Fall, though lots of minor ones. Just hanging around waiting for a gap, Morrissey and Beck, while it’s a 50-place climb for Cappella with one of their best singles. It’s classic Bruce at 30, and classic urban dance with En Vogue & Salt ‘n’ Pepa battling over Whatta Man at 39. Less classic, but theyve Got 2 got 2 move it, Reel 2 Real in at 37.

20th March 1994
Ace Of Base finally get that number one, an American chart-topper too with their catchy pop grower. I always was partial to Scandipop, as I believe they call it now. Runner-up is Alison Moyet, just leap-frogging Primal Scream. The whole Top 10, though, is a bit of a classic list, and if I may say so myself, incredibly varied musically. Morrissey gets a rare solo Top 10, while a Springsteen classic ballad from Philadelphia starts to pick up speed, and gives him 19 years of Top 20 hits. Add in slacker-rock from Beck, and 40’s retro from Nat for a bit of a Top 10 clear-out. Nearly there, D:Ream’s 1993 Number one gets a remix return at 11, Tori Amos has a Pretty Good Year entering at 14 and Blur rocket up to 19, and Prince up to 39. Keeping up with the 1993 returns, Daryl Hall and Toni Braxton have a second go, while Madonna slides in with a very orthodox ballad for her, at 40. I’ve said it before, but a good gag is worth repeating until someone laughs, in at 68 is Ce Ce Peniston, a lady very thankful for those three letters of the alphabet, T, N and O. 1 ( 2 ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 2 ( 8 ) WHISPERING YOUR NAME Alison Moyet 3 ( 5 ) ROCKS Primal Scream 4 ( 1 ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 5 ( 3 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 6 ( 6 ) LINGER The Cranberries 7 ( 13 ) THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME THE CLOSER I GET Morrissey 8 ( 30 ) STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA Bruce Springsteen 9 ( 15 ) LOSER Beck 10 ( 17 ) LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE Nat 'King' Cole 11 ( NEW ) UR THE BEST THING (REMIX) D:Ream 12 ( 14 ) I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW Jimmy Cliff 13 ( 4 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 14 ( NEW ) PRETTY GOOD YEAR Tori Amos 15 ( 7 ) GLAM ROCK COPS Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine 16 ( 11 ) SWEET LULLABY Deep Forest 17 ( 12 ) LOVER Joe Roberts 18 ( 9 ) I WANT YOU The Inspiral Carpets and Mark E.

27th March 1994
Alison Moyet gets her only solo chart-topper, and her first since Yazoo did it in 1982 with Only You. Lightning Seeds-like melody-heavy, it’s an insistent dance grower and should have done better than UK 18. D:Ream get to 2, the remix not as good as the original mix, but again, what a melody, and fresh even 12 months on. High new entries, both following-up Number Ones, and both from great albums, and both (sticking with the melody theme) having subtle killer toons, two of their best in both cases (in a very long list of greats). So, which will get to the top....?! Dance suddenly makes inroads with Culture Beat shooting to 10, Cappella to 12, and another version of the Detroit Spinners classic from World’s Apart (aka Brother Beyond’s Nathan) at 22. The Wonder Stuff at 26, James at 63 for indie newies, reggae from UB40, 14 years of hits and counting at 38, and Bitty Mclean’s version of the 50’s oldie (and Mama’s & Papa’s 1967 classic version) at 55. a-ha 51, Bjork 75, among others to finish off the name-checks. 1 ( 2 ) WHISPERING YOUR NAME Alison Moyet 2 ( 11 ) UR THE BEST THING (REMIX) D:Ream 3 ( 1 ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 4 ( NEW ) HOW TO FALL IN LOVE The Bee Gees 5 ( 3 ) ROCKS Primal Scream 6 ( 4 ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 7 ( 6 ) LINGER The Cranberries 8 ( 5 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 9 ( NEW ) LIBERATION Pet Shop Boys 10 ( 52 ) WORLD IN YOUR HANDS Culture Beat 11 ( 7 ) THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME THE CLOSER I GET Morrissey 12 ( 23 ) MOVE ON BABY Cappella 13 ( 8 ) STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA Bruce Springsteen 14 ( 14 ) PRETTY GOOD YEAR Tori Amos 15 ( 12 ) I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW Jimmy Cliff 16 ( 9 ) LOSER Beck 17 ( 10 ) LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE Nat 'King' Cole 18 ( 19 ) GIRLS AND BOYS Blur 19 ( 22 ) DOOP Doop 20 ( 24 ) RENAISSANCE M People 21 ( 44 ) ANOTHER SAD LOVE SONG (REMIX) Toni Braxton 22 ( 64 ) COULD IT BE I'M FALLING IN LOVE World's Apart 23 ( 13 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 24 ( 16 ) SWEET LULLABY Deep Forest 25 ( 17 ) LOVER Joe Roberts 26 ( NEW ) HOT LOVE NOW The Wonder Stuff 27 ( RE ) SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU Guns 'n' Roses 28 ( 28 ) WHATTA MAN Salt 'n' Pepa and En Vogue 29 ( 21 ) FOREVER NOW Level 42 30 ( 15 ) GLAM ROCK COPS Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine 31 ( 25 ) I BELIEVE Marcella Detroit 32 ( 27 ) GOOD AS GOLD (STUPID AS MUD) The Beautiful South 33 ( 36 ) I LIKE 2 MOVE IT Reel 2 Real 34 ( 40 ) I'LL REMEMBER Madonna 35 ( 34 ) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS The Bee Gees 36 ( 37 ) THE WAY YOU WORK IT EYC 37 ( 18 ) I WANT YOU The Inspiral Carpets and Mark E.

3rd April 1994
2 weeks on top for Alison Moyet, keeping off the Bee Gees from the top, with Pet Shop Boys up to 5, both with gorgeous ballads, two of the loveliest releases in their careers in both cases. Meanwhile, Springsteen pops back in the Top 10 with one of his greatest ballads, and Tori Amos does the same with her best, and Jimmy Cliff takes Johnny Nash’s I Can See Clearly back into the top 10 22 years on (and 5 years on from the last time it was in there). Highest new entry, The Proclaimers know What Makes You Cry at 15, and Madonna remembers at 16, presumably not the Coasters 1950’s re-issue at 26 though, as she’s the same age as me, and FAR too young to recall the fifties. At 33? Mmmmm. Or 4 times that, as the impressively deep-voiced Crash Test Dummies get a welcome quirky ballad into the charts. It’s sort of more folk than rock, whereas Pink Floyd at 35 is more Prog than rock, and Pulp at 65 more Britpop than rock trying to remember the first time. A low-key arrival for one of the great 90’s bands there. 1 ( 1 ) WHISPERING YOUR NAME Alison Moyet 2 ( 4 ) HOW TO FALL IN LOVE The Bee Gees 3 ( 2 ) UR THE BEST THING (REMIX) D:Ream 4 ( 3 ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 5 ( 9 ) LIBERATION Pet Shop Boys 6 ( 5 ) ROCKS Primal Scream 7 ( 13 ) STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA Bruce Springsteen 8 ( 14 ) PRETTY GOOD YEAR Tori Amos 9 ( 8 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 10 ( 15 ) I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW Jimmy Cliff 11 ( 6 ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 12 ( 10 ) WORLD IN YOUR HANDS Culture Beat 13 ( 20 ) RENAISSANCE M People 14 ( 7 ) LINGER The Cranberries 15 ( NEW ) WHAT MAKES YOU CRY The Proclaimers 16 ( 34 ) I'LL REMEMBER Madonna 17 ( 22 ) COULD IT BE I'M FALLING IN LOVE World's Apart 18 ( 18 ) GIRLS AND BOYS Blur 19 ( 11 ) THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME THE CLOSER I GET Morrissey 20 ( 31 ) I BELIEVE Marcella Detroit 21 ( 33 ) I LIKE 2 MOVE IT Reel 2 Real 22 ( 12 ) MOVE ON BABY Cappella 23 ( 26 ) HOT LOVE NOW The Wonder Stuff 24 ( 23 ) WONDERFUL LIFE Black 25 ( 21 ) ANOTHER SAD LOVE SONG (REMIX) Toni Braxton 26 ( NEW ) SORRY BUT I'M GONNA HAVE TO PASS The Coasters 27 ( 25 ) LOVER Joe Roberts 28 ( 40 ) KEEP GIVIN' ME LOVE Ce Ce Peniston 29 ( 38 ) C'EST LA VIE UB40 30 ( 16 ) LOSER Beck 31 ( 19 ) DOOP Doop 32 ( 17 ) LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE Nat 'King' Cole 33 ( NEW ) MMM MMM MMM MMM Crash Test Dummies 34 ( 29 ) FOREVER NOW Level 42 35 ( NEW ) TAKE IT BACK Pink Floyd 36 ( 46 ) MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD Prince 37 ( 27 ) SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU Guns 'n' Roses 38 ( NEW ) I WAS RIGHT AND YOU WERE WRONG Deacon Blue 39 ( 60 ) SOMEBODY TO SHOVE Soul Asylum 40 ( 57 ) I BELIEVE Sounds Of Blackness 41 ( 35 ) FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS The Bee Gees 42 ( 41 ) STOP LOVING ME STOP LOVING YOU Daryl Hall 43 ( 24 ) SWEET LULLABY Deep Forest 44 ( 32 ) GOOD AS GOLD (STUPID AS MUD) The Beautiful South 45 ( 42 ) WE WILL ROCK YOU Queen 46 ( 39 ) WHY?

10th April 1994
The Bee Gees get 3 in a row chart-toppers, consistency they never had at any chart period in their career previously, though apart from 7 number ones to date they also had 2 written for Yvonne Elliman, and at least 6 number 2’s including the very first John Chart in 1968. Madonna gets another Top 10, though during a period for her when she failed to go top 10 as often as she went top 10. Blur return to the top 10 with the fab Girls And Boys, kick-starting their classic period. Top 20 for Prince, after crawling up slowly, to join the many ballads in the upper echelons, while Tony Di Bart brings his huge dance hit in at 17, the highest new entry. A sudden leap from a-ha to 20, 9 years on and still going strong, and 60’s goodie Sweets For My Sweet gets the reggae treatment from CJ Lewis at 24, while Bitty McLean is at 27 with 50’s classic Dedicated To The One I Love, also reggae-fied. Fun enough, though neither are as good as previous hit versions. Hung Up and Always go Top 40. Madonna is 7, Bon Jovi 37 - but these songs aren’t their famous hits, they are new entries from Paul Weller and Erasure. I need youtube reminders, though I recall Erasure being a goodie. Other than that there’s a major classic entering in the 70’s. Not Take That’s huge hit, no, it’s The Pretenders brilliant I’ll Stand By You. So good even a pedestrian version by Girls Aloud went to number one over a decade later. 1 ( 2 ) HOW TO FALL IN LOVE The Bee Gees 2 ( 5 ) LIBERATION Pet Shop Boys 3 ( 4 ) THE SIGN Ace Of Base 4 ( 1 ) WHISPERING YOUR NAME Alison Moyet 5 ( 3 ) UR THE BEST THING (REMIX) D:Ream 6 ( 7 ) STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA Bruce Springsteen 7 ( 16 ) I'LL REMEMBER Madonna 8 ( 6 ) ROCKS Primal Scream 9 ( 9 ) RETURN TO INNOCENCE Enigma 10 ( 18 ) GIRLS AND BOYS Blur 11 ( 15 ) WHAT MAKES YOU CRY The Proclaimers 12 ( 11 ) WITHOUT YOU Nilsson 13 ( 12 ) WORLD IN YOUR HANDS Culture Beat 14 ( 17 ) COULD IT BE I'M FALLING IN LOVE World's Apart 15 ( 36 ) MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD Prince 16 ( 8 ) PRETTY GOOD YEAR Tori Amos 17 ( NEW ) THE REAL THING Tony Di Bart 18 ( 33 ) MMM MMM MMM MMM Crash Test Dummies 19 ( 21 ) I LIKE 2 MOVE IT Reel 2 Real 20 ( 51 ) SHAPES THAT GO TOGETHER a-ha 21 ( 26 ) SORRY BUT I'M GONNA HAVE TO PASS The Coasters 22 ( 10 ) I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW Jimmy Cliff 23 ( 13 ) RENAISSANCE M People 24 ( NEW ) SWEETS FOR MY SWEET C.J.

17th April 1994
2 weeks for the Bee Gees holding off Pet Shop Boys from the top, and Brooce hits 4, his highest chart position to date. Crash Test Dummies bring their quirky Canadian folkrock up to 7. Mmmmmmm folkalicious! Erasure’s sweet Always shoots to 12, and Terrorvision are the highest new entry at 25 - Oblivion! Good name for a rollercoaster that... Kate’s up to 27, keeping her Top 40 run going with one of her less commercial singles, Taylor Dayne’s back 7 years on from her debut Top 40 hit at 34, and The Pretenders extend their run of new hits in the 40 to 15 years. Others: Bob Geldof is Crazy at 52, 17 years on from the Boomtown Rats debut; Frank Sinatra’s My Way just won’t go away 25 years on from starting it’s looooong run. I don’t see it charting again though; Celine Dion has been misled. When I was 12 I was sure it was a verb, not a noun. I misle, you misle, we misle and I have been misled (pronounced My-Zelled).

24th April 1994
3 weeks on top for the Bee Gees, and 3 in an uncharacteristically subordinate role for Pet Shop Boys. At 3 The Proclaimers hitting their highest chart placing with a minor hit, and after 3 previous Top 10 hits. Erasure get yet another Top 10 hit, 8 years of Will-they-won’t-they make the Top 10 - 2 number ones and many big hits, but just as many minor hits too. I liked this one a lot though. The Pretenders shoot up to 11, and quite right too! Terrorvision go top 20, not for the last time, and Marvin Gaye’s back. Well, sort of - it’s an unreleased track which was pepped up and sounded great, in at 19 for 25 years of “new” hits. Richard Marx is back at 36, one of those variable artists, sometimes classic number one quality (Hazard), sometimes not... 1 ( 1 ) HOW TO FALL IN LOVE The Bee Gees 2 ( 2 ) LIBERATION Pet Shop Boys 3 ( 11 ) WHAT MAKES YOU CRY The Proclaimers 4 ( 8 ) SWEETS FOR MY SWEET C.J.

1st May 1994
After 3 weeks at 2, Pet Shop Boys finally overhaul the Bee Gees with the gorgeous Liberation, 4th Number One in a row from Very. I saw a 3D version of the video at the much-hated IMAX building in Bournemouth (years later), which was pretty amazing - if you've never seen it check it out, awesome. Up to 4, The Pretenders most-touching ballad, a truly great record and sentiment. Prince getting to 6, and then it’s all about a deluge of new entries headed by 2 world music follow-ups, Deep Forest at 12 and Enigma at 13, sounding much like the previous ones, but still good. Other genres? Dance at 17 from Gloworm, slacker-rock from Red Hot Chili Peppers at 25 (the revered Under The Bridge), jazz funk from Level 42 at 24, big ballad from the always-there Wet Wet Wet cover of the Troggs great original at 35. As opposed to grate. MOR from la Streisand at 59 (Lloyd-webber, I think), Blur kick-starting Britpop proper with album track Parklife popping in at 61, and what a classic it is, still fresh. Eternal, as opposed to the group who somehow slide in at 65. 1 ( 2 ) LIBERATION Pet Shop Boys 2 ( 1 ) HOW TO FALL IN LOVE The Bee Gees 3 ( 3 ) WHAT MAKES YOU CRY The Proclaimers 4 ( 11 ) I'LL STAND BY YOU The Pretenders 5 ( 4 ) SWEETS FOR MY SWEET C.J.

8th May 1994
Back up at 1 for a 4th and final week, the Bee Gees, with Enigma getting to 2 trying for a 3rd Number One. Straight in is classic 80‘s oldie, Grace Jones Slave To The Rhythm going Top 10 for the second time (1985 being the first). New act Nick Green never got any further in any chart other than Top 10 in my chart, which is basically James Blunt/Nick Drake vocally and it’s sweeping strings-tastic. Writes music for TV shows now I think. Highest new entry proper is Judy Cheeks at 12, a bit of gospel diva dance. Great singer. Phil Collins suddenly jumps to 13 with a pleasant ballad, Crystal Waters gets a second Top 20 hit, and TV advert theme tune Inside from grunge-rock act Stiltskin shoot in at 23. Those riffs were fantastic. Eurovision time? That’ll be Frances Ruffelle at 28 then, one of the UK’s best 90’s entries. Classic oldie Listen To The Music is back 20 years on, remixed of course at 29 as per recent Doobies hits. Baby I Love Your way is back for the third time - reggae this time, and probably the best cover of it since Peter Frampton’s original 1976 hit. Jah Wobble, of Public Image Limited fame, is at 22 with indie-reaggae and featuring vocalist Anneli Drecker, who charted last year with a great oldie in my charts from a few years back. Jon Secada’s back, The Lemonheads are back with a big gay (country) heart at 39 and some lyrics not radio-friendly, and Elvis Costello is never far away from my charts, here at 49 steppin up. 1 ( 2 ) HOW TO FALL IN LOVE The Bee Gees 2 ( 13 ) THE EYES OF TRUTH Enigma 3 ( 1 ) LIBERATION Pet Shop Boys 4 ( 4 ) I'LL STAND BY YOU The Pretenders 5 ( 3 ) WHAT MAKES YOU CRY The Proclaimers 6 ( 5 ) SWEETS FOR MY SWEET C.J.

15th May 1994
Third number one for Enigma, and second in a row from the same album, keeping off The Pretenders from the top spot - in retrospect they are the wrong way round, I much prefer I’ll Stand By You these days! The Doobie Brothers finally go top 10 with Listen To The Music after almost doing it in 1974 (but the original version is the best, regardless). Grunge and passionate gospeldance meanwhile go top 10, courtesy of Stiltskin and Gloworm, both terrific tracks. Jon Secada gets another Top 20 2 years after his debut number 2 hit, and Phyllis Nelson’s 1985 smooth soul oldie comes back at 21. More surprisingly Red Hot Chili Peppers go top 20 and Wet Wet Wet don’t. I’ll take that as right... Sudden spurts after ottering about a bit for veterans Pink Floyd and Elton John (with Marcella Detroit), both into the 40, and Parklife re-enters at 36 now out as a single. Nilsson’s classic Without You is joined by his classic Everybody’s Talking, albeit courtesy The Beautiful South who do a lovely version. Let’s be clear though, the Nilsson versions of songs are always the definitive versions, the man was a great. Outside the 40, and a great reggae big hit for Dawn Penn pops in at 49, a cover of Summer n Streisand hits 52 by 2 current dance divas, and Neneh Cherry is back 5 years on with Youssou N’Dour, also 5 years since his debut, and the absolutely classic and haunting Seven Seconds.
