QUOTE(Popchartfreak @ Jun 6 2020, 11:16 AM)  ooh, 1998 down to a mere 2 chart-toppers from me there - Madonna's Power of Goodbye, Cher. Though lots of goodies, more madonna, Ramirez, Stardust, Ace Of base, Tin Tin Out (stood next to Shelly Nelson and her mum backstage at Radio 1 roadshow that year. Didn't say anything, too shy), Garbage, Green Day. T'others I loved: Millennium/Let Me Entertain You, If You Tolerate This..., To The Moon & Back, Push It, Stay (Bernard Butler), Human beings (Seal), Uninvited, Carnaval De Paris, Last Stop: This Town (Eels), Alane, When You're Gone, Robyn's Show Me Love and many more My mum sorted the whole smoking issue with me when I was 10 - she and dad both smoked, and gave me one to try. Totally hated it and never touched one again in my life, also got fed up breathing in second-hand smoke for the first 30 years of my life. I'm sure that's why I'm so short (compared to 21st Century generations that is, I was quite tall for the Middle Ages)  My mum also had me do the fag running from a young age, Liverpool 1966, 8 years old and earlier, she gave me a fiver to go and buy some from the local Newsagents (and that was like half the week's rent on the flat in those days, a huge amount of money) and I lost it (or was diddled by the shop-owner, hard to remember now, I was so upset and worried about it). Still, she gets her own back these days, refusing to do what I need her to do when she needs showering. Mothers eh? Only 2 chart toppers this year?  Of the ones you mentioned I also really like If You Tolerate This, Stay, Carnival De Paris, Stay (although my fave Bernard Butler track was A Change Of Heart which criminally missed the Top 40) and Alane. Cheers John

Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar 4. Radiohead - No Surprises 5. Faithless - God Is A DJ 6. Massive Attack - Angel 7. Madonna - Frozen 8. Faithless - Take The Long Way Home 9. Pulp - This Is Hardcore 10.

Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade I like every single track here! Thrilled Lucid are here too. And agree with the Café Del Mar/1998 mixes. For Meet Her At The Love Parade, it's the Nalin & Kane mix for me. Cheers Rollo

QUOTE(The Snake @ Jun 8 2020, 07:29 PM) The Karen Rameirez track is very nice and makes a good #1. Mysterious Times is so relevant lyrically at the moment and easily my favourite of Sash's songs. Ace of Base - Life Is A Flower I already mentioned but brings back good memories of hearing it on the radio when I was younger, likewise the Tin Tin Out and Shelley Nelson song I remember a lot from when I was younger, liked it back then and its still a good chilled dance track. Remember It's Like That too from the time, it still sounds like a fierce dancefloor track. I also really like Jason Nevins follow up featuring Holly James I'm In Heaven in 2003, which is a really nice chilled dance track. The Corrs and Nalin and Kale tracks are good, Green Day's brief experiment with folk music turned out to be one of their best songs in my opinion. Aqua's Turn Back Time is a really nice song, its like a completely different group to their other songs! Would add Flaming June, Meet Her At The Love Parade (although I think I prefer the 2001 version), Frozen and God Is A DJ from King Rollo's list to my 1998 favourites and When You're Gone by Mel C and Bryan Adams and the excellent To The Moon And Back by Savage Garden (which is like their sort of version of Wet Wet Wet - Wishing I Was Lucky in being more interesting than most of their other hits imo - the production also reminds me of it a bit in style too come to think of it) to my favourites from popchartfreak's list. Would also add Camisra - Let Me Show You (it reminds me of the Cha Cha Slide for some reason too ), Encore - Le Disc Jockey and also Touch and Go - Would You because I remember that great brass instrumental from when I was younger.Also remember Horny by Mousse T at the time and hated it because I was only 6 at the time and embarrassed me as I knew it was a rude song. Same with Sex On the Beach by T-Spoon. I've completely forgotten the 2001 mix of Meet Her At The Love Parade I love the Nalin & Kane mix from '98. Will have to youtube the '01 version to rejog my memory.I bought the Camisra and Encore singles at the time. Like Horny, not too fussed on Sex On The Beach. To The Moon And Back is the best Savage Garden track imo. Cheers for the comments

Coincidentally, I'm posting the 1999 list on a special anniversary. 10/06/1999 was the day I met my first boyfriend, and was the first time I ventured out, alone, to a gay bar. Queer As Folk had just been shown on C4 and had a huge impact on me, which gave me the bottle to hop on the train to Charing Cross. It took over an hour of pacing up and down the road before I finally stepped in. My first thought when everyone inside turned around and stared at my visibly terrified and shaky self was "oh, how friendly they all seem." Of course, now I realise I was just "fresh meat", but I had a ball regardless. There is a funny story about how I got with my first boyfriend that night, but it's not exactly family friendly, so let's move on.
A couple of months prior to this I was on holiday in Cyprus with my best mate from primary school and our families. One night, we had a stupid row over something and I stormed off (or minced off, whichever way you look at it) to our apartment. Having finished chatting up every available female that night, he came back and caught me...erm...having fun....alone, if you know what I mean. And that's how he found out I was gay. I remember it well. I was crying "please don't hate me" whilst he kept going "f**king hell!" After 20 minutes of this, he said "right, dry your eyes. We're going Bubbles (a bar)". Britney Spears' Baby One More Time was playing when we got there. He took my hand and led me to the dancefloor and danced with me. "You're still my best mate and always will be." Bless him, he was right. And I've not been able to get shot of him ever since. Many things happened to me this year. Some good, some bad. This thread would be much longer if I listed them all. I left school and somehow passed my A Levels (only just). I came out to my Dad, who took it very badly. I thought that was it for our relationship. Happily, he eventually accepted me and we have a close and fantastic relationship now. Otherwise in this year, I went from geeky shy simpleton to a total slag. Honestly, I was easier than the alphabet in those days. Oh youth, how I miss thee. 64 tracks to whittle down this time including Madonna, Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, Mariah Carey, S Club 7, New Radicals, Bran Van 3000, A1, Chemical Brothers and Britney (despite the sentiments attached to BOMT, I've heard it way too much). My Favourite Top 40 Hits Of 1999 1. Chicane Feat. Maire Brennan Of Clannad - Saltwater 2. ATB - 9pm...Till I Come 3. Babybird - Back Together 4. Humate - Love Stimulation 5. DJ Jurgen Presents Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone 6. Manic Street Preachers - Tsunami 7. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman 8. Semisonic - Secret Smile 9. Three 'N' One Presents Johnny Shaker Feat. Serial Diva - Pearl River 10. Placebo - Every You Every Me 11. William Orbit – Barber’s Adagio For Strings 12. Mr Oizo – Flat Beat 13. Groove Armada – At The River 14. Alena – Turn It Around 15. Beth Orton – Central Reservation 16. Greece 2000 – Three Drives 17. Pet Shop Boys – I Don’t Know What You Want But I Can’t Give It Anymore 18. All Seeing I Feat. Phil Oakey – 1st Man In Space 19. Lucid – Stay With Me Till Dawn 20. Cuban Boys – Cognoscenti Vs Intelligentsia 21. Cher – All Or Nothing 22. Len – Steal My Sunshine 23. Phats & Small – Turn Around 24. Pete Heller – Big Love 25. Tin Tin Out Feat. Wendy Page – Eleven To Fly 26. Eminem – My Name Is 27. Doolally – Straight From The Heart 28. Yomanda – Synth & Strings 29. Supergrass – Moving 30. Tina Cousins – Killin’ Time 31. Cassius – Cassius 1999 32. Shanks & Bigfoot – Sweet Like Chocolate 33. Semisonic – Closing Time 34. Catatonia – Karaoke Queen 35. Lucid – Crazy 36. All Seeing I Feat. Tony Christie – Walk Like A Panther 37. Jennifer Lopez – Waiting For Tonight 38. Blondie – Maria 39. Blur – Tender 40. Catatonia – Dead From The Waist Down This post has been edited by AH Gold: 10th June 2020, 08:50 PM |

from your list my fav is ATB-9pm, I loved that song and was totally obsessed with it. From your list I also loved the Chicane song,
Blur - Tender, the Manics - Tsunami and the Placebo song. When I think 99, first thing that comes to mind is Britney - Baby one more time and Christina - Genie in a bottle, surprised they're not on your list. Pop perfection debut singles and both classic and iconic. Pop divas were doing very well cos 99 was also Shania Twain's year, That Don't Impress Me Much is still a crazy fantastic song... and we also had the return of Whitney, with My Love is your Love, possibly her best single ever. Best Indie music in 99 for me was Travis, The Man Who is a classic album and my fav song of theirs is Why Does it Always Rain On Me. Best indie dance was The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl, also possibly their best single ever. Other songs I really liked were Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor, Drinkin in LA, Better off alone, Cranberries - Promises, Robbie - Strong Skunk Ananasie - Secretly, anything by Beverly Knight, and EBTG - Temperamental (even if it flopped) but 99 also had lots of acts I hated at the top of the charts, Westlife, Geri Haliwell, 5ive, Vengaboyz, Eiffel 69, Steps, B'witched, that kind of pop was not really my thing... |

1999, oops just one chart-topper for me on your list! (Pet Shop Boys natch).
My biggies, 4 Texas tracks, You Get What You Give, That Don't Impress Me Much, Larger Than Life, Unpretty, You Don't Know Me, Give It To You, Baby One More Time, Drinking In LA, She's In Fashion, Beautiful Stranger and many more  I did see Semisonic in concert around that time, and Blondie. Your journey was a bit similar to my 2001 journey, that was the start of my clubbing and bars days, only I was more matured (but just as shy) fresh meat Not nearly as in demand as fresh chicken  The big shock to me was how not-in-demand being nice is, but how very-much-in-demand physical attributes are. Who knew men were so shallow!? Who knew gratuitous behaviour was so easy!? Who knew everyone on local gay scenes knew everyone else's business and slagged them off behind their backs!? Many illusions shattered....

Saltwater is great, remember it from when I was younger. ATB's song is a great summery dance tune. Oh I do I wish trance would return as a chart trend soon....with other great trance tracks from Three Drives and William Orbit there in your top 40. For trance tracks I would also add DJ Sakin and Friends - Protect Your Mind and System F - Out Of The Blue.
I also like Flat Beat, the first ever electro house song making making the UK chart before the excellent Azzido da Bass - Dooms Night in 2001. At The River by Groove Armada is a great chillout track, likewise Moby - Why Does My Heart... from King Rollo's list. Doolally Straight From The Heart is a good funky garage tune and for garage I would also add Shanks and Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate which I remember from the time. Yomanda Synth and Strings is a very different sounding dance track, I also like his track Sunshine from 2000 and his cover of Ultra Nate's You're Free from 2003. Jennifer Lopez - Waiting For Tonight I remember liking when I was younger, it, Vanessa Amorosi - Absolutely Everybody and Kylie's On A Night Like This from 2000 really is dance-pop at its best. I notice Bryan Adams Cloud Number Nine from King Rollo's list too, nice song from him, Ultrabeat's song Feelin' Fine from 2004 really reminded me of that whenever it came out and still does, like a dance version of it almost. That will make my 2004 list as it is a nice track too. I always used to think Blondie - Maria sounded like a Christmas song as it has bells in it! Was surprised to learn recently it wasn't released at Christmas after all. One of their best songs though, I think. Would add The Offspring - Pretty Fly (I really liked that one when I was younger), New Radicals - Get What You Give which I also remember from the time, and the euphoric You Don't Know Me by Armand van Helden and Duane Harden. Would also add Two Times by Ann Lee and Bus Stop - Jump and from King Rollo's list - Chemical Brothers - hey Boy Hey Girl. This post has been edited by The Snake: 12th June 2020, 12:28 PM |

QUOTE(AH Gold @ May 9 2020, 02:15 AM) 1986 will always be a hugely special year for me. Firstly, I bought my very first single this year at Cruisin' Records in Welling. It was Farley Jackmaster Funk's Love Can't Turn Around, which I'm sure you'll agree is very credible for a 5 year old. The next single was Sinitta's So Macho. Make of that what you will. Both feature here, in Sinitta's case, mainly for Cruising, which is the superior track in my opinion. Secondly, 1986 saw the arrival of my little sister. Mum suffered a miscarriage the previous year, so was obviously overjoyed I now had a sibling. She was born to the sounds of Europe's The Final Countdown blaring from the hospital radio. I always felt Ave Santini from The Omen would have been far more appropriate. As happy as Mum was, she had no inkling her daughter would go on to cause her just as much headaches and agony as me! And little did I know, that in our 30s we'd end up living together (No one else would tolerate living with her I'm afraid, so she was dumped on me....I'm only joking. Ish. I love her really. Ish.) I also started primary school this year. All throughout my childhood, I had adults constantly tell me whenever I moaned (was, shockingly, was often) that "you'll look back on your school days as the best years of your life." Even then I knew they were lying. See, I was clever and observant, despite what all my school reports said. As this was such a special year for me as a first time record buyer and as more memories begin to form, this was the hardest Top 40 to compile. My initial longlist was 67 tracks! I won't list all of them, but the ones I had to cut out include Communards, Steve Winwood, Falco, Jim Diamond, Bangles, Alexander O’Neal, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, Grace Jones, Janet Jackson, Smiths, Simply Red, Billy Ocean, Kate Bush, Jaki Graham, Erasure & Madonna’s True Blue. My Favourite Top 40 Hits Of 1986 1. Kim Wilde – You Keep Me Hangin’ On 2. Dead Or Alive – Brand New Lover 3. A-ha – The Sun Always Shines On TV 4. Nu Shooz – I Can’t Wait 5. Pet Shop Boys – Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) 6. Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk – Love Can’t Turn Around 7. Mel & Kim – Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend) 8. Pete Wylie – Sinful 9. Pet Shop Boys – Love Comes Quickly 10. Gwen Guthrie – Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent 11. Status Quo – In The Army Now 12. Nick Kamen – Each Time You Break My Heart 13. Bananarama – Venus 14. Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls 15. Human League – Human 16. Madonna – Borderline 17. Queen – Who Wants To Live Forever 18. Madonna – Live To Tell 19. Sinitta – So Macho/Cruising 20. Debbie Harry – French Kissin’ In The USA 21. Princess – I’ll Keep On Loving You 22. Wham! – The Edge Of Heaven 23. Madonna – Papa Don’t Preach 24. Madonna – Open Your Heart 25. Depeche Mode – A Question Of Time 26. Sly Fox – Let’s Go All The Way 27. Doctor & The Medics – Spirit In The Sky 28. Prince & The Revolution – Kiss 29. Pet Shop Boys – Suburbia 30. Madness – (Waiting For) The Ghost Train 31. Bucks Fizz – New Beginning (Mamba Seyra) 32. Cameo – Candy 33. Amazulu – Too Good To Be Forgotten 34. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – (Forever) Live And Die 35. Paul Hardcastle – The Wizard 36. Red Box – For America 37. Five Star – Rain Or Shine 38. Housemartins – Think For A Minute 39. Berlin – Take My Breath Away 40. Swing Out Sister – Breakout 1986 was the first year i was into the chart in a big way i taped the top 10 of the countdown on casette tape most weeks and wrote the top 10 down every week in a little book. As the weeks and months went on i got known at school as something of a chart expert. That christmas naturally i asked for the guinness book of british hit singles. I only knew such a book existed after seeing it mentioned on the Little and Large show. On christmas day one year i hid in my bedroom listening to the top selling album chart of the year on radio 2 rather than sitting with my family watching the OFAH christmas special (1987 or 1988?). This carried on for about four or five years until the chart became dominated by acid house music. |

QUOTE(Bjork @ Jun 1 2020, 09:52 AM) funnily, despite Tori Amos being my #1 singer, I do hate Professional Widow, in its original form the song is already bad, but that remix made it even worst, a 0/10 for me :/ I grew to like it. I hated the original. I was quite neutral when I heard the remix in mid-1996 but when it was re-released I started to enjoy that it was a proper hit and it brings me back to that time. |

Runway by Del Shannon and Ronettes - Be My Baby are great. Probably my favourite songs you have posted of the 60s ones so far (of the ones I know that is).
Cryin by Roy Orbison is good (I knew the song but I didn't know it was by Roy Orbison) but my favourite from him is his cover of I Drove all Night, which I prefer to the Cyndi Lauper version that was recently in the TOTP catchups. Two entries for the Everly Brothers. I am hoping a song by another set of brothers make your list for 1967. Cilla Black Anyone Who Got A Heart I only discovered through Sheridan's Smiths version of it on the ITV Cilla drama that was on a few years ago. Its a very good song. Walk On By is a great jazz pop song, her voice in the song actually is quite similar in style I think to Sade's quite a bit later. This post has been edited by Flopiday: 20th August 2020, 06:10 PM |

Fab 60's choices, many of them huge when I was a kid, many of them huge faves still.
Records that have topped my personal charts since 1968 (as reissues or oldies): Summer Place (lined up to be a BJSC entry at one time )Nut Rocker Be My Baby Apache You'll Never walk Alone I Just Dont Know What To Do Walk On By Anyone Who Had A Heart Downtown Move Over Darling Your number one choices for 1960, 1963, 1964 are probably the same as mine - though I'd need to check on that  Many of the rest have hit my number one spot in a "My Number Ones Of The 60's" feature I'll run shortly. These are the tracks I liked during the 60's when I was a kid, songs I remember being mad on - so it will have some really bizarre and unexpected and unknown tracks to anyone who wasn't around at the time - and also some classics. |

There's a few songs I like there and some big sellers that will feature on my own chart. Will say that these get better as the year progress for sure. My two favourite tracks here are in 1962 and 1964 respectively
