October 15, 201212 yr Aqua - Barbie Girl is my favourite song here. For Texas: I like the singles from "The Hush" album more, than from "White On Blondie", but they are also OK. Never was a fan of Spice Girls as group, but adore Geri Halliwell's solo material. "Dancing Queen" again in retro charts. I think, that it's your favourite ABBA song.

Thanks Alex, my fave Aqua song was one of their follow-up singles, not such a big hit - it was fab and Ive totally forgotten the name of it, I think it was the first single off the next album! You're right, not only is Dancing Queen my biggest Abba song (I prefer I Knowing You Knowing Me but its never been re-sissued or re-charted) in chart-points it's far and away the biggest song ever in my charts!:)
October 20, 201212 yr Ah, 97. in my charts of the time dance/club music dominated, so a fair few 'classics' didn't do as well as they would have done otherwise. My pick of all of these would probably be The Drugs Don't Work. I only vaguely remember the remix of Sun Arise :lol: Intrigued, I dug up my own chart of the time: 01 ** Regina - Day By Day 02 ** Olive - Outlaw 03 ** Aqua - Barbie Girl 04 01 BT ft Jan Johnston - Remember 05 02 Chicane ft Power Circle - Offshore 97 06 03 Eternal - Angel Of Mine 07 08 Tin Tin Out - Strings For Yasmin 08 14 Red 5 - Who 09 ** Kim Mazelle - Young Hearts Run Free 10 ** Bellini - Samba De Janeiro 11 ** PF Project ft Ewan McGregor - Choose Life 12 04 Chakra - Home 13 05 Alisha's Attic - Adore U 14 07 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights 15 09 Wild Colour - Dreams 16 ** 2 Evissia - Ooh La La La 17 06 Deja Vu ft Jasmin - To Deserve You 18 ** Texas - Put Your Arms Around Me 19 10 Celine Dion - Make You Happy 20 11 Sonia - Someone Like You 21 12 Grace - I Want To Live 22 15 Selena - Riding High 23 19 DJ Flavours - Your Caress (All I Need) 24 ** N Trance ft Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy 25 ** Universal - Make It With You 26 13 Marradonna - I'm going Out Of My Head '97 27 16 T-Shirt - You Sexy Thing 28 ** Michelle Weeks - Don't Give Up 29 18 North & South - Breathing 30 17 Sash! ft La Trec - Stay 31 ** Clock - You Sexy Thing 32 23 Submerge ft Jan Johnston - Take Me By The Hand 33 ** Barry Manilow - Copacabana ('93 Remix) 34 24 Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life 35 ** 98 Degrees - The Invisible Man 36 ** George Michael - The Strangest Thing 37 36 N Sync - Tearing Up My Heart 38 ** Catch - Bingo 39 ** Armand Van Helden - The Funk Phenomena 40 ** Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing I don't remember several of these, and three versions of You Sexy Thing?

I don't even like the song now! Hi, thanks for that interesting:) Yes I also dont recall some of them (I have yet to revisit and replay my tapes for 1997) even ones I liked a lot (such as Bingo which we both like!). I see what you mean about clubbing tracks, I didnt start clubbing (believe it or not!) until 2001 at a rather advanced age, so I have lots of dancepop faves from 2002 onwards really... and we still agree on quite a few anyway! I'm most intrigued by the Kate Bush re-issue, it didnt rechart in mine until recently:)
