Not a fan of 'Think Twice' at all but its chart run is really quite one of a kind.

No More I Love You's is brilliant, possibly my favourite thing Annie Lennox has ever done, so atmospheric production wise and I remember it a lot from when I was younger.
The Alex Party track is fun and the Nightcrawlers track is obviously ahead of its time and very influential for 2010s-20s dance music.

Its chart run is a bit like the song Celine previously covered: Jennifer Rush's Power of Love from the 1985 thread. This post has been edited by TheSnake: 30th September 2023, 03:41 PM |

Its chart run is much like Jennifer Rush's Power of Love from the 1985 thread. The difference I suppose is that TPOL exploded once it was top 40, 36-15-2-1, TT lingered even when top 40 30-28-22-20-9-8-5-6-4-2-2-2-1 |

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 4th, 11th and 18th February 1995
Scarlet - Independent Love Song Chart entry this week: 27 Peak: 12 Fantastic euphoric ballad that really hit its peak in 1995 - similar ballads are on the way! This was on TOP 3 times and it really should have been a huge top 10 hit. Suede - New Generation Chart entry this week: 21 Peak: 21 The last Suede song before the massive 1996 Coming Up era. Decent, but not a classic imo. Gloria Estefan - Everlasting Love Chart entry this week: 19 Peak: 19 Decent cover - I much prefer the single version than the one performed on TOTP! I will lump these together from now on when I get slim pickings! |

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 25th February and 4th March 1995
Elastica - Waking Up Chart entry this week: 13 Peak: 13 The last single and last hit from Elastica. Personally my favourite (even if it ripped off The Stranglers!).Damon Alban 'performed' on keyboards on TOTP! A wonderful slice of Britpop. Blur - Jubilee Chart entry this week: Album track Peak: Album track One of the best album tracks from Parklife. Featured due to Blur hoovering up at the 1995 Brit Awards. Mike and the Mechanics - Over My Shoulder Chart entry this week: 21 Peak: 12 Really under-rated song and their first top 40 hit in four years. |

Is this the end of the R1 presenters on TOTP with big west presenters every week?
Like the studio change - looks like the real britpop era now! |

Re the Radio 1 presenters Mark Goodier - 6 shows to go until March 96 Simon Mayo - 6 shows to go until August 96 Bruno Brookes - 1 show to go in April 95 Nicky Campbell - 8 episodes to go up to Jan 97 John Peel will present an episode in December 1995 as an excuse to show show him the This Is Your Life big red book. Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley will present their first show together in September 1995 We have Lisa iAnson still to start her 5 episodes plus Chris Evans presents one show at the end of April. Talking of Chris Evans and as you mention Britpop , the first song next Friday is a Britpop anthem and was turned into a jingle on Chris Evans Radio 1 Breakfast Show. |

I know we lost out 3 years with the R1 presenters but Brookes. Campbell and Mayo did it for ages!

Actually surprised Mark didn’t present after 1996 as he was on the official chart until 2002! |

Over My Shoulder and Independent Love Song both sound like big top five long-runners, it's weird to me that such brilliant tracks with such huge airplay at the time (I certainly heard them a lot) couldn't crack the top ten.

I'm not sure how accurate this is but it has Over My Shoulder as the 7th most played song of 1995 and Independant Lovesong the 23rd. https://chartsaroundtheworld.com/1995/12/31...op-200-of-1995/ |

TOTP broke their own rule on that last episode by having Scarlet on even though their single was dropping down the chart. I wonder why that was? I don't remember it happening at all before up to 1995.

was obsessed with Independent Love Song, such a lost classic, definitely deserved higher chart placing
Over my Shoulder is great and their 3rd single from the era, Another cup of coffee is even better even if it flopped |

Another Cup of Coffee is seriously good. It did have quite a bizarre video style - more like Placebo, Garbage or Skunk Anansie videos

yes, I actually think it's my fav song from them
I was checking their discography now and they're such an under-rated band, only 1 top 10 (The Living Years) + 2 other top 10s at least The Living Years was a US #1 Silent running(on Dangerous Ground)/21 All I need is a Miracle/53 Nobody's perfect/80 The living years/2 Nobody knows/81 Word of mouth/13 A time and place/58 Everybody gets a second chance/56 Over my shoulder/12 A beggar on a beach of gold/33 Another cup of coffee/55 All I need is a Miracle/27 (re-issue) Silent running/61 (re-issue) Now that you’ve gone/35 Whenever I Stop/73 |

And of course the promo features a very young Tom Fletcher in it before he went on to be in McFly.
