Great start, first 20 done.

Both The Prodigy songs still to come :D I suspect Breathe will be up fairly soon though, probably within the next 10. Hopefully Firestarter can get top 10.

Iirc, 'Ebeneezer Goode' was deleted by the record company. I haven't a clue if there was controversy surrounding the song at the time on the news.

Ebeneezer Goode because of the various drug references IIRC, 'salmon', 'veras', and listen to the chorus of the song :P

 

anyway, my three favourites (Queen, Manics and Eiffel) still to come! excellent! :D

Yes it was deleted to make way for "Boss Drum" single which the group wanted out before they launched the album in Nov 92. As for controversy yes it was to do with drugs- they got complaints when they were on TOTP and i believe Radio 1 didn't play it during the daytime schedule (yet oddly i believe they still did on the chart countdown- which i suppose was MORE listened to by the "youff's")

Continuing on...

 

40 - Whigfield "Saturday Night" (1994) (+19)

 

The 90s equivalent to Rebecca Black "Friday" lands in at 40. The follow up "Another Day" peaked at 7.

 

Behave - Saturday Night is a pop masterpiece.

I can't see anything wrong with this song

 

E's are good E's are good

 

It didn't get banned as such though..

Baby D was actually a group, although vocalist Dee Fearon also went by with the same name.

I hope Bohemian Rhapsody is not top 20. -_-

 

Dont make me laugh Daniel GaGa. Whigfield's Saturday Night" 'The 90s equivalent to Rebecca Black "Friday"'? :lol:

Continuing on... the next 3 are all on the same points but the position is decided by individual points scored in the yearly rounds

 

30 - The Prodigy "Breathe" (1996) (+42)

The second number one for this dance group in the UK, and their seventh top ten hit out of eleven.

 

29 - Enigma "Sadness Part 1" (1991) (+42)

 

Enigma's only number one and first out of two top three hits with a song that would never even go top 40 in today's charts. How times have changed!

 

 

28 - Oasis "Some Might Say" (1995) (+42)

 

And the winner of the three way tie is brit-pop group Oasis with their first number one. Another popular song by them is still yet to chart.

 

 

27 - All Saints "Never Ever" (1998) (+43)

 

The first number one for All Saints, the song spent fifteen weeks in the top ten, something not even LTWYL can do.

 

 

26 - Eiffel 65 "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" (1999) (+45)

 

The novelty song which inspired Avatar ten years later lands at 26. They only ever had one follow up which peaked at 3.

 

 

25 - Meat Loaf "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" (1993) (+45)

 

The big comeback for Meat Loaf was a half-sucess on BJ, landing straight in the middle of the countdown.

 

 

24 - Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are The Days Of Our Lives" (1991) (+48)

 

Only on Buzzjack would the "greatest song of all time" completely miss the top 20.

 

 

23 - Livin' Joy "Dreamer" (1995) (+49)

 

Their debut single that reached number one back in September 1995. Not much else I can say for this song

 

 

22 - No Doubt "Don't Speak" (1997) (+53)

 

Their first number one and first out of three top ten hits. The follow up was a re-release of "Just A Girl" which previously peaked at 38.
