Posted April 8, 201015 yr Ok, this may be controversial but I think I've just found my favourite chart of all time. It's got a mixture of songs I absolutely adored as a ten year old, plus some great dance tracks including possibly my favourite trance song ever at number 14! Yeah there's a lot of cheese, but I still like it. Week-ending 3rd April 1999, somehow all of this was over eleven years ago... 1. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat 2. The Cartoons - Witch Doctor 3. Billie Piper - Honey To The Bee 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give 6. Boyzone - When The Going Gets Tough 7. TLC - No Scrubs 8. The Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (The Vengabus) 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman 10. Des'ree - You Gotta Be 11. Steps - Better Best Forgotten 12. Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay 13. Robbie Williams - Strong 14. System F - Out Of The Blue 15. Sash! - Colour The World 16. The Aphex Twin - Windowlicker 17. Kele Le Roc - My Love 18. Andy Williams - Music To Watch Girls By 19. Cher - Strong Enough 20. Blur - Tender 21. George Michael And Mary J Blige - As 22. 2Pac - Changes 23. The Corrs - Runaway 24. Steps - Heartbeat/Tragedy 25. Manic Street Preachers - You Stole The Sun From My Heart 26. Tina Cousins - Killin' Time 27. Underworld - Push Upstairs 28. Roxette - Wish I Could Fly 29. Shawn Mullins - Lullaby 30. Blondie - Maria 31. Feeder - Day In Day Out 32. Travis - Writing To Reach You 33. The Beautiful South - How Long's A Tear Take To Dry? 34. The Brian Setzer Orchestra - Jump Jive An' Wail 35. Madonna - Nothing Really Matters 36. Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind 38. Stereophonics - Just Looking 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me 40. DJ Sakin And Friends - Protect Your Mind (For The Love Of A Princess)
April 8, 201015 yr Apart from 3 songs, i wouldn't wish to hear any of the others. Not much there, very poor indeed, shows the difference in someone being 10 and someone being just a tad older :D
April 8, 201015 yr Author Totally understood - in ten years time someone could post a chart from 2010 in here and call it the best one ever, but I'd struggle to find much. I looked at a chart from this time in 1980 and I only know six of the songs in the top 40. In the above chart I know twenty nine at least. And w/e 10/7/1999 is just as good to me - replace Blur's 'Tender' with 'Coffee & TV' and System F with Gouryella, etc. I can understand though how the above chart would be a nightmare to some :D
April 9, 201015 yr Far from being the best chart of 1999, an amazing year. These I still like or enjoy: 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give 7. TLC - No Scrubs 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman 12. Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay 13. Robbie Williams - Strong 14. System F - Out Of The Blue 15. Sash! - Colour The World 17. Kele Le Roc - My Love 19. Cher - Strong Enough 23. The Corrs - Runaway 26. Tina Cousins - Killin' Time 28. Roxette - Wish I Could Fly 30. Blondie - Maria 35. Madonna - Nothing Really Matters 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me 40. DJ Sakin And Friends - Protect Your Mind (For The Love Of A Princess)
April 9, 201015 yr i reckon its a pretty mixed chart, not as mixed as c1980 though. the bad tracks are utterly awful but there are some good uns in there. 1. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat ..................... complete $h!te 2. The Cartoons - Witch Doctor ........ and this 3. Billie Piper - Honey To The Bee .... an ok pop song, possibly her best 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time .... another good pop song 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give .... ok but tbh its abit 'wet' 6. Boyzone - When The Going Gets Tough .......... utter cack 7. TLC - No Scrubs ....................... never liked these, dont like this 8. The Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (The Vengabus) .... more $h!te 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman ...... and again 10. Des'ree - You Gotta Be .............. ok and the pick of the rest 11. Steps - Better Best Forgotten ....... i wish i could forget you. 13. Robbie Williams - Strong ......... cant help but like robbie, the showman 14. System F - Out Of The Blue ..... brilliant! 18. Andy Williams - Music To Watch Girls By .... good track 20. Blur - Tender ...... not big on blur but i like this 21. George Michael And Mary J Blige - As ...ok cover 24. Steps - Heartbeat/Tragedy ..... vile :puke2: 30. Blondie - Maria .......... great comeback track :) 35. Madonna - Nothing Really Matters 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me .. americas greatest dance track??
April 9, 201015 yr 1. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat - ok-ish. Can't imagine I'll ever rush to hear it again though. Still, a worthy #1 if only for the fact that it beat... 2. The Cartoons - Witch Doctor - H.I.D.E.O.U.S. 3. Billie Piper - Honey To The Bee - vaguely remember it, surprised it did this well 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time - classic track but I don't like it much, always found the video a bit creepy 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give - Not that great really I guess but stood out at the time 6. Boyzone - When The Going Gets Tough - Rubbish 7. TLC - No Scrubs - Liked this and them 8. The Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (The Vengabus) - Trash 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman - The best of a bad bunch from them 10. Des'ree - You Gotta Be - This seemed to be re-released all the time, think this was it's most successful one Notable others: 12. Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay - one of her best 14. System F - Out Of The Blue - great trance tune, still love it now 16. The Aphex Twin - Windowlicker - Amazing track, best in the chart by a mile :wub: 18. Andy Williams - Music To Watch Girls By - advert driven re-release, not too bad 20. Blur - Tender - Actually, maybe Aphex Twin isn't the best by a mile, this was brilliant also 27. Underworld - Push Upstairs - Liked this a lot, they were getting towards the end of a great run of singles 30. Blondie - Maria - liked this, great band and was good to see them back 35. Madonna - Nothing Really Matters - 5th and final great single from Ray Of Light 36. Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away - Bet he never thought he'd get a #1! Again, advert related success but I did like the music on this one, even if the lyrics were a bit basic 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind - rare top 10 hit for them, propelled by the success of previous (and better) single My Favourite Game 38. Stereophonics - Just Looking - really crap. They really are one of the worst ever bands with some of their singles. 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me - great dance track, surprise #1 for me
April 9, 201015 yr might as well do this too; 1. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat - Never liked it, really annoying 2. The Cartoons - Witch Doctor - terrible band with terrible songs - insanely catchy though :drama: 3. Billie Piper - Honey To The Bee - one of her better songs, certainly out of the first few it was the best, nice to see it return to the charts in 2007 too! 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time - a classic, still sounds great now 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give - One of the best songs of the 90's for me, absolute classic - still listen to this loads now! 6. Boyzone - When The Going Gets Tough - haha, not exactly their best but it's good for a singalong - surprised how many of the 'celebs' in the video are still relevant now too (Jo Brand, Harry Hill, Davina McCall, Chris Moyles etc...) 7. TLC - No Scrubs - classic song, one of the best R&B singles of the 90's 8. The Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (The Vengabus) - catchy and a good party song but I was never a massive Vengaboys fan 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman - I loved all of their #1's (and nothing else they ever did after those) so yep, I'm a fan! Big fall from #1 though 10. Des'ree - You Gotta Be - This was released a few times wasn't it? decent enough pop song, one of a few 'classics' in the top ten 15. Sash! - Colour The World - Dire, his worst single for me by quite some margin - hated Dr Alban's vocals on it 17. Kele Le Roc - My Love - had this on the other day, more pleasant than I remembered 23. The Corrs - Runaway - one of my favourite songs of all time still, fantastic 29. Shawn Mullins - Lullaby - one of many 35. Madonna - Nothing Really Matters - underrated, a great song from Ray Of Light 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind - brilliant, I remember being proud of buying it at the time, I was only 11 and I felt 'indie' :heehee: Disagreeing with Dandy, despite My Favourite Game being great, I love this so much more. 40. DJ Sakin And Friends - Protect Your Mind (For The Love Of A Princess) - pretty great, worked well considering the odd concept
April 9, 201015 yr I like these 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give 13. Robbie Williams - Strong 20. Blur - Tender 25. Manic Street Preachers - You Stole The Sun From My Heart 29. Shawn Mullins - Lullaby 30. Blondie - Maria 32. Travis - Writing To Reach You 36. Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind 38. Stereophonics - Just Looking 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me
April 9, 201015 yr This is a good chart! A handful of late 90s classics IMO, and I think you could find much cheesier charts from this period really. :lol: 1. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat - Liked the bass on this, though I suppose it did grate looped over. I had a soft toy of Flat Eric too before I threw it out [/random] 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time - An iconic track. Excellent. 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give - Decent enough one-hit wonder, I suppose. 7. TLC - No Scrubs - Good track, with the Left Eye rap being the highlight. 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman - Nice song, but loved it more then than I do now. 12. Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay - Brilliant. Loved the attitude on this one. 16. The Aphex Twin - Windowlicker - Good song, but I'm not crazy about it. 17. Kele Le Roc - My Love - Pretty forgettable. Preffered the garage mix, which took a boring song and made it interesting. 19. Cher - Strong Enough - Decent enough disco-pop. 20. Blur - Tender - Gorgeous track. One of their best. 22. 2Pac - Changes - Not crazy about 2Pac, but this was very good. 23. The Corrs - Runaway 27. Underworld - Push Upstairs - Decent, but pretty average by their standards. 28. Roxette - Wish I Could Fly 30. Blondie - Maria - Coming back with a bang and a career highlight. 33. The Beautiful South - How Long's A Tear Take To Dry? - Nice and inoffensive enough, like pretty much all their songs. 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me - Good house track. 40. DJ Sakin And Friends - Protect Your Mind (For The Love Of A Princess) - I think I liked this. Might be thinking of something else.
April 10, 201015 yr i agree re the cardigans.... i hated 'my favourite game', due mainly to that annoying schoolboy riff... if it qualifies as a riff, 'erase rewind' though has a superbly sombre feel to it, great track.
April 10, 201015 yr Ah well, both of them pale in comparison to the wonderful 'For What It's Worth' and 'You're The Storm' anyhow...
April 10, 201015 yr 1. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat I still think this is great, very minimal and fitted very nicely with the recent eletro house sound. 2. The Cartoons - Witch Doctor Let me think about this... No! 3. Billie Piper - Honey To The Bee Utter tosh, no wonder Billie wishes to forget about her pop star days. 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time Why is this always cited as a great pop song? A talentless pop star who is so undeserving of her success. Utter tosh. 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give Very, very, very annoying! 6. Boyzone - When The Going Gets Tough No! 7. TLC - No Scrubs Sod the Spice Girls, acts like this and En Vogue wrote the Girl Power bible years before. This is a great track! 8. The Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (The Vengabus) It's alarming how big these were. Dance music for nippers. 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman Truly awful girl band. 10. Des'ree - You Gotta Be How many times has this been released? Too many... Of the rest, I like... 12. Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay 14. System F - Out Of The Blue 16. The Aphex Twin - Windowlicker 17. Kele Le Roc - My Love 21. George Michael And Mary J Blige - As 27. Underworld - Push Upstairs 35. Madonna - Nothing Really Matters 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me Some great tracks, but an awful lot of rubbish manufactured pop. I can find better charts IMO. Edited April 10, 201015 yr by ScottyEm
April 10, 201015 yr Ah well, both of them pale in comparison to the wonderful 'For What It's Worth' and 'You're The Storm' anyhow... Not for me, Erase/Rewind is my favourite Cardigans track by quite some margin :wub: second would be Don't Blame Your Daughter - that should have been HUGE
April 10, 201015 yr Fave tracks from this top 40: Highlights :cheer: 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give 7. TLC - No Scrubs 8. The Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (The Vengabus) :ph34r: 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman 10. Des'ree - You Gotta Be 12. Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay 16. The Aphex Twin - Windowlicker 18. Andy Williams - Music To Watch Girls By 20. Blur - Tender 21. George Michael And Mary J Blige - As 22. 2Pac - Changes 23. The Corrs - Runaway 25.

Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind 40. DJ Sakin And Friends - Protect Your Mind (For The Love Of A Princess) Lowlights :nocheer: 2. The Cartoons - Witch Doctor 11. Steps - Better Best Forgotten The others are just there. In fact I don't think I've ever heard The Brian Setzer Orchestra 'Jump Jive An' Wail'. :blink:
April 10, 201015 yr Comments on Top 10: 1. Mr Oizo - Flat Beat - Dreadful novelty dance tat. The 1990s equivalent of Steve Silk Hurley's Jack Your Body from 1986. 2. The Cartoons - Witch Doctor - Just the thought of this horrendous revival of an old awful 1950s US hit single is enough to make me puke. Vile. 3. Billie Piper - Honey To The Bee - Her least worst best ever single. I'm glad Swindon's finest is doing what she does best though - acting. 4. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time - The Birth of a pop icon and legend until Lady GaGa came along and made her seem old hat. 5. The New Radicals - You Get What You Give - My favourite record of 1999. Power Pop genius. 6. Boyzone - When The Going Gets Tough - Not a huge fan of the Billy Ocean UK#1 hit. But this cover was a distinct turn for the worse. Still better than Westlife's massacre of Billy Joel's Uptown Girl though. 7. TLC - No Scrubs - The greatest girlgroup ever IMHO, with their greatest ever single. 8. The Vengaboys - We Like To Party! (The Vengabus) - Awful. Saving it's use in a repetative weekly skit on Sky Sports' Soccer:AM 9. B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman - In a top ten full of either brilliant pop records or utter dross, this song was OK. 10. Des'ree - You Gotta Be - Keep it quiet, but I really liked this song. Of the remainder I liked: 12. Whitney Houston - It's Not Right But It's Okay 16. The Aphex Twin - Windowlicker 17. Kele Le Roc - My Love 18. Andy Williams - Music To Watch Girls By 20. Blur - Tender 21. George Michael And Mary J Blige - As 23. The Corrs - Runaway 25. Manic Street Preachers - You Stole The Sun From My Heart 28. Roxette - Wish I Could Fly 29. Shawn Mullins - Lullaby 30. Blondie - Maria 32. Travis - Writing To Reach You 35. Madonna - Nothing Really Matters 36. Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away 37. The Cardigans - Erase/Rewind 38. Stereophonics - Just Looking 39. Armand Van Helden Featuring Duane Harden - U Don't Know Me
April 10, 201015 yr The following week was played today on Radio 2's Pick Of The Pops and has led to a furious row over them missing out Eminem at No.2.
