June 7, 201015 yr Oh dear for Josh. How even that useless Binman Andy finished above him I'll never know. I still love the cheese that is the Scooch song. Pure unadultaerated cheese and I love it!! Other personal favourites are Kat/Waves, Gina G, Daz Sampson :o and Jessica Garlick.
June 7, 201015 yr Can you put headings as to what each column represents - took me a while to work out that the first column in the year, the second the artist, the third the peak position, and the fourth (if applicable) the number of weeks spent @ #1.
June 9, 201015 yr Precious had the best song Maybe of the 90s, but ever? No way. My vote is for Sweet Dreams :wub: Interesting reading, thanks.
