I'd be happy to never hear that MN8 song ever again after it came up at the weekly #2 hits sessions on here and then was performed on both of the TOTP episodes shown on the same day
 not a fan of the Celine Dion song at #1 either oops, a bit of a slog. On a more positive note I do like 'Basket Case'!'Protection' was my biggest highlight of last week's TOTP episodes  my cat came over and sat on my lap during that one song before getting up and leaving again, the taste.

Not sure if you were aware but the top 40 announced on the 2nd March show is incorrect - positions 9 and 10 are the wrong way round in the top 10 - there were another 20 errors between 11 and 40 due to the chart having to be re-run but TOTP still used the wrong chart.

poor MN8, for some reason I really liked the song back in the day, at least it was a good antidote to Take That and Boyzone
I always liked Think Twice but partially it's cos it's long run to the top, crazy it flopped in the US, only went to #95! also crazy that Riverdance was #1 for 18 weeks in Ireland, that's like 4 months+ Protection is an amazing sing <3 @Jade your cat sure has good taste the whole Protection album is a masterpiece, especially Karmakoma and the other song with Tracey, Better Things If I remember correctly, at the time there was also this band Jade charting, you a fan @Jade?

I noticed yesterday that the original Riverdance album has been taken off streaming/download sites etc.
I love listening to the title track and now there's only a 2019 re-record on there. Obviously its chart run here was fairly impressive, coming over six months after it was the Eurovision interval. I don't know why they didn't just capitalise on that and release it a few weeks after Eurovision. Not saying it would have got 18 weeks at No.1 here but top five I suspect might have been possible. |

I quite liked the MN8 song aged 10 but in retrospect it wasn’t exactly a sophisticated masterpiece haha. I’d still take it over a lot of the boyband stuff.

Oh yes I do like ‘Don’t Walk Away’ by them! Kisstory used to play it a lot and I assumed they were a solo female singer for a while with that name

RTE probably weren't ready for it to be a hit and wouldn't have had enough copies pressed for the UK. I believe it spent months in the top 200 in import and that should have been a signal that there was a market in the UK for it. According to Music Week, total sales of Riverdance were approaching 200,000 by the week it was number 10. This post has been edited by Colm: 29th September 2023, 05:23 PM |

Loved the last few episodes a lot, the hits of 1995 and the studio/production makeover have finally dragged the show into the kind of 90s style that I remember well.
Also been a timely reminder of why Don’t Give Me Your Life remains an all-time favourite of mine. Absolute banger <3 And while I’ve never been huge on it, Push The Feeling On is still heard everywhere now, and sampled so often. Some really classic dance hits coming through here in recent weeks. Think Twice is a great ballad but not my favourite Celine song by any stretch, mad that it spent seven weeks at the top after selling so much on the way up there. Oh and Independent Love Song is such a brilliant track - if I didn’t already know its chart run, I could easily be convinced that it was No.1 for weeks. I’m not quite sure how it didn’t even go top ten, it’s not like it lacked exposure. |

Loving 1995 as I expected to so far. Not a fan of MN8 at all though.
Celine Dion was superb in the studio singing live - what a song! |

18TH FEBRUARY
 With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching Celine Dion’s “Think Twice” holds for a third week at the top of the charts and grabs herself the double again. For all of that the single is not exactly expanding at retail with another 5% increase to 85,000 though of course it is STILL increasing which is a feat in itself given it is now 18 weeks into its chart life, an incredible display of sticking power.  Whether or not it can stay for another week is highly doubtful thanks to the new entry at No 2 from Annie Lennox. Her last album “Diva” was a million seller providing her with three top 10 hits the last of which “Little Bird/ Love Song For A Vampire” debuted at No 3 exactly two years ago this week. That remained her biggest solo hit until now, her cover of The Lover Speaks 1986 single “No More “I Love You”’s” which made No 58, sold 70,000 copies to debut at No 2 behind Dion, it should give the chart topper a run for its money next week with a TOTP performance and no album available until next month.  Onto a song which is now having a third release, kind of, up and coming Italian dance outfit Alex Party originally released “Saturday Night Party (Read My Lips)” in late 93 after the song became an Ibiza anthem that summer but it flopped at No 49. A second bash saw the song carried to No 29 last summer but it has now been refashioned, remixed and given new lyrics which transform it into “Don’t Give Me Your Life” and debuts at No 10 (20,000) this week. Clubland it seems cannot get enough of it. The arrival of Lennox finally breaks up the top 5, N-Trance increase sales to 58,000 but drop 2-3, the reverse of last week, Rednex fall 3-4 (54,000) and MN8 continue their painfully slow climb 6-5 (42,000). Ini Kamoze drops 4-6 (33,000), Nicki French is out 5-8 (24,000) and Perfecto Allstarz drift 8-9 (23,000), at least Mc Sar & The Real McCoy hold steady at No 7 (25,000) 1- THINK TWICE- Celine Dion (85,000) 2- NO MORE “I LOVE YOU”’S- Annie Lennox (70,000) 3- SET YOU FREE- N- Trance (58,000) 4- COTTON EYE JOE- Rednex (54,000) 5- I’VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU- MN8 (42,000) 6- HERE COMES THE HOTSTPPER- Ini Kamoze (33,000) 7- RUN AWAY- (MC Sar &) The Real McCoy (25,000) 8- TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART- Nicki French (24,000) 9- REACH UP (PAPA’S GOT A BRAND NEW PIGBAG)- Perfecto Allstarz (23,000) 10- DON’T GIVE ME YOUR LIFE- Alex Party (20,000)

25TH FEBRUARY
 With Valentine’s day comes the spoils for Dion at least, sales of “Think Twice” shot up by 46% to an incredible 124,000 last week in its 19th week on the chart! The single has now sold 846,000 and could become the 5th million seller of the decade and 4th ever by a woman soloist, naturally she also keeps the No 1 on the album front. The anticipated take over by Annie Lennox failed to emerge and though the song languishes far away at No 2 it actually lost sales to 62,000 and won’t become her first chart topper failing a miracle, MN8 nominally rise 5-3 (48,000) but are equally unlikely chart toppers.  She’s got a performance at the BRITS this week to help her but she may rue waiting a week! Yes Madonna is back after the chart blip that was “Take A Bow” which broke a string of 35 consecutive top 10 singles on the trot- (a record) when it only made No 16 at Christmas. Her new single “Bedtime Story” comes courtesy of the penmanship of both Nellee Hooper and Bjork and with a promo rumoured to have cost $5 million, it arrives at No 4 (48,000) a few hundred behind MN8. The album has already sold over 350,000 and remains in the top 40 and though the era has undoubtedly been a slight disappointment by her normal standards, her USA career continues unabashed with “Take A Bow” hitting No 1 this week, her 11th US chart topper sending her clear of the competition in her homeland.  Meanwhile Bon Jovi continue their strong performance, you may recall that their Greatest Hits collection “Cross-Road” became 1994’s biggest selling album and their single “Always” their new biggest seller and now they can celebrate with a 7th top 10 single in “Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night”. It smashes in at No 9 (24,000) to help promote the album which hardly needs it- it hasn’t been out of the top 20 since its release last October and sold 1.1 million so far. Elsewhere good news for Alex Party and Perfecto Allstarz who are both on the climb 10-6 (38,000) and 9-7 (26,000) respectively, but former favourites N-Trance, Rednex, and Ini Kamoze who languish with drops of 3-5 (42,000), 4-8 (24,000) and 6-10 (23,000). 1- THINK TWICE- Celine Dion (124,000) 2- NO MORE “I LOVE YOU”’S- Annie Lennox (62,000) 3- I’VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU- MN8 (48,000) 4- BEDTIME STORY- Madonna (48,000) 5- SET YOU FREE- N-Trance (42,000) 6- DON’T GIVE ME YOUR LIFE- Alex Party (38,000) 7- REACH UP (PAP’S GOT A BRAND NEW PIGBAG)- Perfecto Allstarz (26,000) 8- COTTON EYE JOE- Rednex (24,000) 9- SOMEDAY I’LL BE SATURDAY NIGHT- Bon Jovi (24,000) 10- HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER- Ini Kamoze (23,000)

4TH MARCH
 Less than three months after the last “error” gave us a nonsense chart Millward Brown have once again gone and messed it up this time allowing corrupt data through which led to a much more distorted chart on Sunday, a new one was issued on Monday morning but even the top 10 were altered, albeit slightly. The problem was once again with Woolworths whose systems duplicated data again and the check that Millward Brown put in place after the last time were bypassed as the data arrived so late. The BPI are none too impressed and have advised MB (apparently) that this must be the last time! Celine Dion completes the double for a fifth week on the trot a feat not managed by anyone since The Beatles in 1964/65 and though sales reverse “Think Twice” is still selling at a phenomenal rate after 20 weeks around. It sold 111,000 last week to bring its total to 957,000 copies, the album meanwhile sold its 600,000th copy to go double platinum- she can’t be stopped at the moment. Annie Lennox tumbles 2-4 (43,000) as her chance now passes and in her stead MN8 are the now the nearest challengers to Dion as they inch 3-2 (64,000) though they were nearly caught at the death by Alex Party who fly 5-3 (63,000) themselves.  Announced as a new entry at No 10 on Sunday actually ends up at No 9 (24,000) in the revised version for the Nightcrawlers who are, more or less vocalist John Reid. Debut release “Living Inside A Dream” failed to chart and “Push The Feeling On” fared little better first time around in 1993. It was subsequently remixed by Marc Kinchen becoming an underground hit in early 94 and a No 22 hit when released commercially late last year, it now gets another push and is finally a top 10 single. Reid it should be noted is capable of generating hits for others including Bad Boys Inc. Good news this week for N-Trance who grab another week in the top 5 as they cling to the bottom rung on 34,000, Perfecto Allstarz continue to defy gravity 7-6 (30,000) and Bon Jovi lift 9-7 (28,000). Madonna’s BRITS awards help her get a second week in the top 10 though the single slides 4-8 (28,000) and Ini Kamozi is stuck propping them all up at No 10 (19,000). 1- THINK TWICE- Celine Dion (111,000) 2- I’VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU- MN8 (64,000) 3- DON’T GIVE ME YOUR LIFE- Alex Party (63,000) 4- NO MORE “I LOVE YOU”’S- Annie Lennox (43,000) 5- SET YOU FREE- N-Trance (34,000) 6- REACH UP (PAPA’S GOT A BRAND NEW PIGBAG)- Perfecto Allstarz (30,000) 7- SOMEDAY I’LL BE SATURDAY NIGHT- Bon Jovi (28,000) 8- BEDTIME STORY- Madonna (28,000) 9- PUSH THE FEELING ON- The Nightcrawlers (24,000) 10- HERE COMES THE HOTSTEPPER- Ini Kamoze (19,000)

Some great dance in the top 10 at the moment with Alex Party and Nightcrawlers! There was another fab electronic new entry sitting outside the top 10 as well. I had no idea that Alex Party and Livin' Joy shared group members until Dan mentioned it on SyncTube the other week but now I totally hear it.
I've only listened to the Bedtime Stories album once so I'm not super familiar with that era. 'Bedtime Story' was sounding fantastic on TOTP yesterday so I clearly need to revisit it more. I may not be the biggest fan of that Celine song but of course admire how impressive its chart run and sales are so far. |

I had no idea that Celine's weekly sales went to 124,000. Phenomenal, so far into the chart life of a single.

had mixed feelings about no more I love yous, it's a great song and a great cover
but I wanted another album of original songs after Diva not an album of covers personally it's a very very lazy thing to do as album 2 |

On the face of it, but she was 15 years or more into her career so maybe she had this project in mind for a long time.
