May 4, 201015 yr Author 08/08/92 Snap 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' 19/09/92 The Shamen 'Ebeneezer Goode' 17/10/92 Tasmin Archer 'Sleeping Satellite' At the time I liked Ebeneezer Goode. It quickly lost its charm.
May 5, 201015 yr Strangers In The Night ain't bad, one of Frank's best IMO... i agree its one of his best, but its still pretty poor imho and in the heart of the inovative swinging 60's it really sticks out like a sore thumb!
May 5, 201015 yr I also quite like: 08/08/92 Snap 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' 19/09/92 The Shamen 'Ebeneezer Goode' 17/10/92 Tasmin Archer 'Sleeping Satellite' 18/01/97 Tori Amos 'Professional Widow (It's Got To Be Big)' 25/01/97 White Town 'Your Woman' 01/02/97 Blur 'Beetlebum' 29/02/98 Cornershop 'Brimful Of Asha' 07/03/98 Madonna 'Frozen' 21/03/98 Run DMC vs Jason Nevins 'It's Like That' (I'm dubiously ignoring Celine for this one as she was a return to #1) Ignoring Celine Dion is always a good thing.

May 7, 201015 yr I'll go for... 6/2/82 - Kraftwerk - The Model / Computer Love 13/2/82 - The Jam - Town Called Malice / Precious 6/3/82 - Tight Fit - The Lion Sleeps Tonight (!!!! - What, what?) 26/3/88 - Aswad - Don't Turn Around 9/4/88 - Pet Shop Boys - Heart 30/4/88 - S'Express - Theme from S'Express 8/4/90 - Madonna - Vogue 6/5/90 - Adamski - Killer 3/6/90 - England New Order - World in Motion 27/1/91 - KLF - 3AM Eternal 10/2/91 - The Simpsons - Do The Bartman (ahem, well we all loved the video) 3/3/91 - The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go? youve just lost all credibility :lol:
May 8, 201015 yr This would be my favourite run: 03/02/90 Sinead O'Connor 'Nothing Compares 2 U' 03/03/90 Beats International 'Dub Be Good To Me' 31/03/90 Snap 'The Power' 14/04/90 Madonna 'Vogue' 12/05/90 Adamski 'Killer' 09/06/90 Englandneworder 'World In Motion' Beats International to Madonna is a great run, 1990 is actually a vintage year for number one hits. Not that I like all of them, but you do still hear them on radio and TV on a regular basis thus proving their longevity.
May 17, 201015 yr 29/02/98 Cornershop 'Brimful Of Asha' 07/03/98 Madonna 'Frozen' 21/03/98 Run DMC vs Jason Nevins 'It's Like That' (I'm dubiously ignoring Celine for this one as she was a return to #1) There was a better run a few weeks before this Various Artists - Perfect Day All Saints - Never Ever Oasis - All Around the World End of 87/beginning of 88 wasn't bad T'Pau - China In Your Hand Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth (Which was then followed by Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now which is one of my guilty pleasures, in fact most of her back catalogue is!) but then was Kylie Minogue - I Should Be So Lucky which again good at the time hasn't aged well at all. but it is quite difficult to find three in a row which both sounded good at the time and have aged well - e.g. Summer 85 "There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart)" and "Into The Groove" tick all the boxes, but then the UB40/Chrissie Hynde cover of "I Got You Babe" which I bought at the time now sounds cringeworthy. -- Richard
