November 7, 201014 yr Spot the joint chart positions in the singles chart - two #71s and two #76s. And four TV related songs in the Top 40 ("Something Outta Nothing" from EastEnders, "To Have and To Hold" from the forgotten ITV drama series of the same name, "The Wizard" from TOTP and "Always There" from Howard's Way). "Ask" is my favourite record in the entire chart.

"Ask" is my favourite record in the entire chart. The last time i heard "To Have and To Hold" was when it was in the chart. Never heard it since, and i've never seen it appear on youtube...i bit like late 70s afternoon serial The Cedar Tree. Bit of a holy grail that one.
November 7, 201014 yr The last time i heard "To Have and To Hold" was when it was in the chart. Never heard it since, and i've never seen it appear on youtube...i bit like late 70s afternoon serial The Cedar Tree. Bit of a holy grail that one. "To Have and To Hold" was performed on TOTP at the time, but as you say, it's not been added to any online video sites. Only the cover versions by Deftones and Depeche Mode.

January 25, 201114 yr 01. (7) Berlin - Take My Breath Away (Love Theme From 'Top Gun') For some reason this sounded immense at the time - but it's really poor 02. (1) Nick Berry - Every Loser Wins Loser 03. (2) Status Quo - In The Army Now I remember hearing this on the radio when I was 9 and loving it - not a fan now. The Quo are all about three chord rockers 04. (4) The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian Just a brilliant pop song 05. (3) Cliff Richard And Sarah Brightman - All I Ask Of You Deary me... 06.(15) Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On A surprisingly good cover I thought! 07.(14) Duran Duran - Notorious Not their best work - didn't realise it was so late 08.(24) Mel And Kim - Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend) Not in the league of Respectable but, er, the respectable faces of S/A/W 09. (8) Midnight Star - Midas Touch Don't know this one 10.(10) The Pretenders - Don't Get Me Wrong Quite like The Pretenders in theory, but never liked this one. I likese these... 13. (6) Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al I probably shouldn't, but it's well catchy 14.(16) The Smiths - Ask 18.

January 25, 201114 yr 13. (6) Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al I probably shouldn't, but it's well catchy I've given in and finally admitted "Yes I do like Graceland." It's a great album but can understand how they would think YCCMA is annoying.
January 25, 201114 yr f***ing hell somebody admits they like Nick Berry! LOL, I was 7... It brings back memories :D
