Well, things took a massive downturn here - how on earth can Deee-Lite be below Sash, DJ Jurgen and Haddaway?

 

My thoughts exactly, but I think it's all down to age. Alice Deejay still remains one of the most vacuous dance tracks of the 90s, it was catchy, but little else in my opinion.

I think it's more to do with... personal taste obviously. I like the Deee-Lite track, but much prefer the eurotrance from the late 90s, or even the eurodance from the early to mid 90s. I think all 4 of them should be higher though. Just as long as "Common People" doesn't win, I'll be pleased. Loathe the song and the whole britpop thing, "Song 2" is probably the only exception.

I don't really like Groove is in the Heart.

Indeed it is, I hate eurodance but I have my fingers crossed that Common People will win. Funnily enough there isn't really that much difference between Common People and the basic principles of Eurodance but there we go.

I never owned a Pulp album, but I think they were very different to the 'Britpop' bands of the mid 90s (Cast, Shed Seven etc). I do think it was a step towards the eurodance of the time, there was certainly a synth undercurrent going on, which it was prevented from being an otherwise dull, ordinary mid 90s indie track (for the record, I don't care much for indie either). I think Euphorique is missing my point; your age does in turn help define your tastes! A 90s child is far more likely to prefer music of the 90s compared to the 70s, for example.

Well I think that is obvious, most people will prefer the music they grew up with. A 25 year old will probably prefer the 90s as his musical reference. Whether he prefer the dance, pop, rock, or urban from that decade, well that'll be down to his personal taste.

Makes sense, I'm 34 and my pop era is '86 to '91 really - after that I 'grew out of it'.

I'm 35 and my pop era was from 1987 to 1993 but I never grew out of it.

15 - Brandy & Monica "The Boy Is Mine" (1998) (+44)

 

The first of five T10 hits for Brandy, and the first of two T10 hits for Monica is this collaboration about fighting over a boy. The song missed out thanks to being released the same week as B*Witched's debut single "C'est La Vie". TBIM did much better in the USA, spending thirteen consecutive weeks at number one.

 

14 - Kylie Minogue "Confide In Me" (1994) (+45)

 

Kylie was very unlucky to miss out number one with this entering at 2 on Wet Wet Wet "Love Is All Around"'s fifteenth and final week at the top spot. This song is Kylie's 16th out of 32 T10 hits [if I've counted correctly] It was also her last T10 hit of the 1990s before making a comeback with "Spinning Around"

 

For the type of song it is I like 'The Boy is Mine' quite a lot.

13 - The Prodigy "Everybody In The Place" (1992) (+46)

 

This song is the only number 2 single for The Prodigy ever, and it was their second single. It missed number one on the fifth and final week at number one for "Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are The Days Of Our Lives" and fourteenth week for BR if you include it's original number one run. The Prodigy have had 11 hits in the T10. Random fact: This would have finished 22nd if Bray forgot to vote and give it +10

 

Was hoping Confide in me would have got top 10. Amazing song.

12 - Blur "Tender" (1999) (+50)

 

Blur smashed in at number 2 behind the second and final week at number one for Britney Spears "... Baby One More Time", and they didn't drop down like a stone and kept a good T40 run by their standards (2-6-9-10-20-28-33-40), eight weeks top 40 which is more than double the time "Beetlebum" and "Song 2" spent in the top 40 (3 weeks each).

 

A shame 'Tender' isn't top 10. It was also a shame it was released when it was. It's comfortably their second biggest selling song and it's a fantastic song too. Certainly one of their very best.

11 - Natalie Imbruglia "Torn" (1997) (+50)

 

Natalie missed out number one for three weeks, Aqua was number one on all three times. It was still a massive hit, spending 11 weeks T10 and being a big seller. This was the first of five T10 singles for Nat. She is now forgotten by the general public (refer to the girls on X Factor "who are you anyway?" if you don't know what I mean)

I already adversely affected the results once by not voting (SL2-gate :kink:), I wasn't going to let myself do that again.

 

Great to see this in the top 15, I expected it to come in much lower.

Natalie Imbruglia deserves sooooooooo much more

wow, Torn not top 10 :o :o glad Oasis and The Verve are there though :D

10 - Dario G "Sunchyme" (1997) (+51)

 

Dario G starts our top ten with his first and biggest hit. Dario had 7 T40 hits, with 3 of them going T10. Onto the song, it spent two non-consecutive weeks at number 2, and it would have been at number one if it wasn't for the biggest selling song of all time (in the UK), Elton John. "Sunchyme" started off (2-3-2...), the week it was at number 3 was when Oasis released "Stand By Me" and spent a week at 2 behind Elton. "Sunchyme" spent 7 weeks in the T10 and it is the first example of chart injustice in this top 10 of the results, there's more to come.
