3rd JAN 1999

 

The usual January chart lethargy not in evidence this month - largely thanks to oldies, though, the whole Top 3 are classics that didn’t quite get to Number One first time round but are lining up this time round, headed by Prince as we moved into 1999, the last “19” something year, and one that had gone top 10 in 1983 and 1985, so it was appropriate starting the year with his 3rd number one.

 

In at 32, a great fun rock song of the time, and 49 All Seeing I give Tony Christie a bit of chart action 27 years after his last (Amarillo). I wonder if anyone remembers Amarillo…? Divine Comedy, always amusing, go top 40 with an ode to coach travel, and Isaac Hayes finally gets a 3rd hit 23 years after the last one - pity it was a novelty song though! Garbage rocket up 50 places, still on their hot streak of albums and singles, they never were less than good. Best ignore the remixes and covers elsewhere though, for the most part.

10th JAN 1999

 

Robbie belatedly gets classic Angels to the top - I’d under-estimated it first time round, but a few boozy pub karaoke singalongs later (Others, not me!) had shown me it’s genuine charms - along with seeing Robbie wipe the floor with the competition at Net Aid. Yes, Net Aid - Wembley Stadium, a host of superstars like George Michael, Bowie, Eurythmics, Stereophonics & many others gathered together in a Live Aid attempt to do good and gather cash for Africa. Problem is, no-one remembers it! Well, I was there, and Robbie gave one of the great Live performances I’d seen. I became a fan.

 

So, the entire Top 5 is oldies, all classics that should have been chart-toppers, though Culture Club’s album track from 1983 was a US single, deservedly, with one great guitar solo in it. Oasis meanwhile also bizarrely fail to release The Masterplan as a single, but I chart it anyway. Artists choice of singles sometimes leaves me frustrated! Supercar and Fat Boy Slim get some Top 10 dance action, but new stuff still a bit thing on the ground..

3rd oldie at the top - Paul Weller gets his first solo topper, the sublime Wild Wood from 1993, though previously topped with the Jam (Going Underground) and Style Council (You’re The Best Thing). Meanwhile boy band (and future Timberlake superstar) enter at 33 with a great pop song, and there are some pretty bland superstar duets sprinkled here and there.

4th oldie in a row, this time a 60’s metal anthem from Easy Rider, and minor 1969 UK hit. I kid you not, but I’d just returned from Florida, and at Disney Epcot none other than Steppenwolf were performing at the small lakeside arena. Who woulda thought? Anyway, enough to boost it to my number one as it re-charted in the UK. Terrorvision shoot into the Top 10 with their alcohol anthem, and B52’s join the oldies invasion in the Top 10 with their party anthem. 60’s Crooner goodie from Engelbert, meanwhile joins Tony Christie in the Top 20 and Sinatra lower down, making for a right old mix of oldies.

 

Unlikely comeback time: Blondie! What a joy to have them back! PJ Harvey has one of her occasional goodies pop in, Duran Duran and Howard Jones join Blondie in the charts, and Three Degrees get a dance remix of 1978 hit Giving Up Giving In to join the numerous other dance remixes and covers around, best of which is George & Mary’s cover of Stevie’s As. Just scraping in at the bottom, a bit of a dance classic for Armand Van Helden….

At last! A New Number One! The Offspring deserved it, a great pop record, whimsical and catchy. As was Terrorvision at 3. Armand Van Helden rockets up to 17, Blur are back with Tender, Hole go Top 50, Divine Comedy Top 20, and the Mavericks do a fabulous Roy Orbison impression and Orbison-styled track, and a lot of rather forgettable minor hits otherwise…

Yet another classic oldie at the top, this time party classic Love Shack. The B52's debuted with a Rock Lobster in 1979, hit my charts with this in 1989 and 1990, and by 1999 it had turned into a bit of an anthem. Funniest skit on the radio of the 90's was current hits done in the style of the fabulous B52's.

 

Blondie in the Top 10, hooray! Blur into the Top 20. Divine Comedy get a top 10.

And Yet Another Oldie at the top: Steppenwolf, rock classic, returns to the top for a second week. At least a new spanking stomping dance tune is at 2! Blondie at 4, gives them a hit to stand with their 70's and 80's classics. Oh, yes, new entry from a new pop princess last week - Britney Spears. Yes it's fifteen years! OMG, as I believe they say! Classic song that it is, shooting up to 8 is only fair. 'Nsync meanwhile, same popwriters/producers as Britney, are just as good at 10. OMG! Yes Justin Timberlake, Hollywood actor megastar and pop star, was popping it with Britney 15 years ago. In the charts I mean...

 

Lenny Kravitz is back in the 20 with a great poprock toon, and Shawn Mullins debuts inside the 20 with a great Lullaby. New entry land and Cher at 40 keeps the hits a-coming. Actually, might as well just assume any chart has Cher in it, barring 2002 to 2012! Whitney Houston is in at 33. Worth repeating, cos for 12 months she managed the feat of being actually great: this record was the first of several bona-fide soul records, and they were all good. No more pomp and showing off the size of her range with bland ballads, no actual proper pop and actual proper emotion. Shame it turned out to be drug fuelled.

 

The Cardigans hit their stride with the fab ballad Erase/Rewind, (how quaint), Neil (Crowded House) Finn does yet another version of Johnny Nash (see 1994 comments), 2-Pac raps in Late, Mansun are still good, Alanis is Joining in, and the Corrs just pop in ahead of REM and Manics. I stood next to Jim Corr once at the Radio One roadshow while he chatted to a workmate, backstage with Shelley "Tin Tin Out" Nelson's mum while she was on stage. Hobnobbing wiv da stars, eh? Job perk of the time....

Hooray, a new record at the top! A dance classic, yay! Still sounds great to my ears... And in at 2, Robbie (I had the album) giving him yet another track in the charts, good ol' pop. Lauryn Hill, ex of Fugees, gets her biggest solo hit. Watch out for those tax returns girlfriend! Lucid go top 20 with a classic dance track, as do Barenaked Ladies for one week. Madonna slowly climbs into the 40, Roxette have one of their occasional comeback periods, and George & Mary J take Stevie's As slowly up the charts too.

Another newie at the top, and Robbie's 2nd of the year already, by this stage he was racking them up by the month! Britney at 2, teen pop rools, not so sure about the pigtails and school uniform though...! Cardigans rocket to 9, Blur continue their run of Top 10 hits, Whitney gets a rare Top 12 hit, Kula Shaker shoot it up at 16 for one last fling in the higher placings. Everlast has a new entry with a great record, largely obscure these days, sadly, and that about it for notables. 1999 isn't generally one of my favourite years for music, and much of the new stuff at the lower end is rather forgettable (not counting long-running tracks), though the big hits are still fab.

MARCH 1999

 

Back to the old format as I'm even further behind postings. Doh!

 

Anyways, Britney rules. Pure pop on top. It's a great pop record. As is advert-pushed Andy Williams Music To watch Girls By and the anthemic Can;t Take My Eyes Off You, originally a Frankie Valli & Four Seasons song, covered by Andy, Pets Shop Boys, and hosts of others. Deservedly Andy's return to the top spot, first since 1970's Home Lovin' Man. Classic crooner of the highest order. Final number one of the month is arguably the best record of the 90's, just stunning, life-affirming, vitriolic, urgent, and introducing Greg whatsisname as a great songwriter, the New Radicals You Get What You Give. He instantly gave up being a pop star and let others get the limelight with his songs. Dude!

 

Roxette keep the Top 10 entries a-coming, a decade on, ditto Madonna 15 years on, while Martine McCutcheon announces her brief presence with a great ballad.

New entries from Travis, quietly announcing a good run of melodic singles, Suzi Quatro returning with Orbital (!!) after a long gap of over a decade, and an upstart rapper called Eminem name-checks himself something rotten, and in good humour. Wonder what happened to him. Mostly though it's bland fair for the most part till the last week of the month for new stuff, and Fatboy Slim popping in with their best record, Texas proving they still had it bouncing in at 12, and Lou Reed finally charting the epic Satellite Of Love at 2. I was obviously 5 years ahead of the game there, albeit not in remix form...

APRIL 1999 Charts

 

Another week on top for the awesome New Radicals, but it was Abba revival that overwhelmed my charts in the second week, headed by SOS at 1 for 2 weeks. One of Abba’s major classics, for some inexplicable reason it failed to make my Top 10 first time round - justice at last, giving Abba a complete run of official topping singles from SOS through to Thank You For The Music. Why the Abba invasion? 25th Anniversary of Waterloo at Eurovision and repackages and re-issues of albums and singles which allowed uncharted tracks to debut, plus SOS (I bent the rules for one occasion, for only Abba).

 

The other chart-topper is Texas, band of the moment, with a great single, while Top 10 acts included Catatonia and Cardigans with fab singles, Martine McCutcheon having a perfect moment - it was all downhill from here. The Offspring have another great single, and manage to grab a slot amongst all the Abba tracks. Lower down, and worth mentioning, TLC’s well-known No Scrubs, Bryan Adams singles career coming towards it’s conclusion, perennials UB40, and Westlife getting into my Top 40. Not often they did that, Swear It Again being one of their least-forgettable UK number ones, excepting those one might prefer to forget....

May 1999

 

Lotsa chart-toppers, Texas get yet another week and hit number one with In Our Lifetime, then Fatboy Slim get their only number one...and it’s not Praise You, it’s Right Here Right Now, a fabulous insistent dance track. Still sounds great, and it’s Norman Cook’s only number one as an artist. Aaaahhh. Director Baz Luhrmann though manages to give good advice (Wear Sunscreen) and tops both the Uk and my charts. It’s not music, of course, except incidentally, but it’s got that certain appealing something. Makes a change from films. Finally, Shania Twain takes a great country song and turns it all dancepop, and turns out a winner. Her best record by far, and 2 weeks on top this month. I suspect there might be more in June though....!

 

Other big toons? Bryan Adams, The Pretenders back with a greta single (Human) which peaks at 4. if it seems like The Pretenders feature in a lot of May chart Top 10’s, well, they do! Go figure, Chrissie Hynde was in May 2014 Top 10 as well. She’s very obviously regular as clockwork. Jamiroquai are back with a great disco hit (Canned Heat). Not sure what they were labelling them as at the time dancemusic wise, but it’s disco, trust me. Shania does poor Sixpence None The Richer a disservice - holding them at 2, a shame as Kiss Me is a great pop record, but it never managed to overhaul Ms Twain. Never the Twain shall meet, obviously. Sorry!

 

Backstreet Boys, meanwhile, want it That Way. I always suspected that to be the case, and it’s a great pop song hitting 5. PJ Harvey pops up with an instant Top 10 (The Wind), Sugar Ray’s catchy US hit crosses over to the UK and my number 4, and ditto Everlast, with the fab What It’s Like at 2. I was more into American rock than Britrock, possibly due to the number of florida holidays I was enjoying at the time (it was my escape from problems) and the TV and radio overdosing while there. One UK band I DID like though was Travis, Driftwood at 10, a melody to kill for. I was in Florida this month, I can confirm, cos Jennifer Lopez debuts inside my Top 20 - I bought the CD single of If You Had My Love in Florida - and begin an on-off chart relationship between us for the next 15 years. She’s on again at the moment, with Wisin and Ricky Martin.

JUNE 1999 charts

 

Shania Twain is the singer of the moment, continuing on top, even though it don't impress her much. It don't impress The Osmonds either who are kept off the top with the re-issue of Crazy Horses, doing much better than it did in 1972. The Backstreet Boys prove that Florida hit-machine keeps on a rolling out the choons, with the fab I Want It That Way grabbing a week on top before Bill Withers classic non-hit Ain't No Sunshine finally repeats what Michael Jackson did, also in 1972 - taking it to the top. He also had a number one in 1972 with the even-more-classic Lean On Me. Bill is great. The last number one is a return to the top for Petula Clark, and the original classic version of Downtown, muuuuuch better than the 80's dance remix I'd previously had to make do with.

 

Also doing well, Shed Seven at 5, Jamiroquai at 5, Ricky Martin at 7, and the Backstreet Boys pals N'Sync at 6. Suede's Fashion-tastic single goes top 10, and Whitney Houston does something she's never done before - got into the top 2 with the fab My Love Is Your Love, proper soul, real emotion as opposed to OTT blandness. Pity she was already into the drugs by then...

 

New into the chart in the last two weeks of June? Adam Rickett at 6. Eh???! Shorley shome mishtake! Nah, it was a decent dance toon. 1974 UK chart-topper She never really impressed me much at the time - but the Elvis Costello cover version for Notting Hill, oh yes indeedy, at 9, beating off even the Pet Shop Boys new single, trying to outdo even their own long-titled hits (they tend to go for one-word titles or very long ones!). Billy Fury's great A Wondrous Place pops in along with Dixie Chicks and the ever-present Roxette - it's been an eye-opener reviewing my old charts and seeing how often Roxette are in the upper reaches!

 

Finally, I'm amused to see Hole, Cartoons, Chemical Brothers and Nas all vying for places in the lower end. I do enjoy a mix of moods and genres.... :lol:

Hello, John

 

Based on UK charts it's my favourite music year. Only in 1999 such cheesy pop singers as Lolly could have three top 10 singles in UK chart.

 

There are so many pop classics. My all-time # 1 favourite singer Geri Halliwell released 3 amazing singles, Texas had impressive era with "The Hush" album. Low-known Sixpence None The Richer got 2 hits, Shania Twain became from a local country singer to pop superstar.

 

Impressive ABBA invasion. Top 5 for "That's Me" (my second favourite ABBA song after "Honey Honey") :wub:

 

Seems, that you don't like Steps.

 

"Downtown" is # 1 in 1999. :lol:

 

Cheers Alex, 1999 has grown on me lately, though Lolly not high in my chart :lol: Steps, I liked some of their early (and recent) singles but they usually had to work hard to convince me to like them, sometimes they did sometimes they didn't B-)

JULY 1999

 

Madge gets a full dozen chart-toppers with Beautiful Stranger, one of her best, and most joyous, records, soundtrack to the fab and groovy Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Shagtastic! Suede are having none of that though, and knock her off for two equally fab weeks at Number One: well, She’s In Fashion, and the melody is just marvellous. It wouldn’t be right for Pet Shop Boys to have a new track out, with an outrageously long title like I Don’t Know What You Want But I Can’t Give It Anymore, and me not have it top the chart. While it’s not one of their very best singles, it’s very fine anyway, pumping along nicely.

 

Other Top 10 biggies? Texas’s Summer Son, a fantastic record, one of their best, some boyband action from Backstreet Boys and A1, J-Lo gets her first (but not her last) lo those 15 years ago, and Dixie Chicks lovely There’s Your Trouble, huge in the States, I mean HUGE. Until they made some very sensible comments about the political moron running the country, at which point their career nosedived, but their integrity was intact. Which is more than you can say about the worldwide mess said moron has contributed to in no small part.

 

Roxette, as ever, pop back with another Top 10 hit. I really must add up how many they’ve had, I suspect it’s shockingly large! Semisonic nearly get there, too, with Secret Smile. Saw them live at the time, they were great. Pity they never broke through big. Madness get their first Top 10 in 13 years, with Lovestruck, but this was a comeback that’s turned into a stayer, rather happily, as they still put out great singles. New Kids’ Jordan Knight gets an early top 20 hit with me, ahead of the UK charts, as Give It To Me is terrific, and James, another still-going cracking band, and another under-rated one, hit my number 2 with the great I Know What I’m Here For.

 

Culture Club are back! Away for as long as Madness, I also saw them on the tour supporting Your Kisses Are Charity single and the album - a glitter ball fell on poor George’s head, and he wasn’t happy about it! Pleasant enough gig though, anyway. Destiny’s Child have Bills Bills Bills debuting, though Beyonce certainly has none to worry about these days. Beverley Knight gets an instant Top 10 with Greatest Day, while John Williams scores the new Star Wars film and into the charts, albeit less memorably than the original. It did, however, give him 20 years as hit-maker, 22 as hit-composer.

 

Bran Van 3000, Canadian rappy-cred popster’s enter instantly at 5 with Drinking In LA, a classic record, and one that unforgivably wasn’t a big hit. Good thing it was in 2000, then, or I would have remained miffed about it. Pearl Jam cover a morbid American hit oldie, and I have to say it’s my fave thing they ever did. Hey ho, in at 48. Nik Kershaw has another comeback 15 years on, with Les Rhythms Digitales’ Sometimes, and Cast, some ex-Spice Girls, Alanis and Steps pop in there too.

 

Chart Positions after the artist are for the weeks of 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th July...

AUGUST 1999

 

 

 

3 weeks at number one for the awesome Summer Son, one of Texas’ best records and their 6th chart-topper, only to be knocked off by Canada’s Bran Van 3000 who grab one week with the fab Drinking In LA, before themselves getting booted off by TLC and their second-best best record, the gorgeous and touching Unpretty hitting the top 4 years after Waterfalls did the same.

 

Other biggies over the summer sun, Mercury Rev’s Goddess On A Hiway at 4, Enrique’s debut hit Bailamos at 7, the fab Groove Armada sampling Patti Page for chilled atmospheric At The River at 4, Mel C rocking it up at 9 with You’re Going Down, and James peaking at 2 with I Know What You’re Here For.

 

Planet Perfecto rehash Grace’s fabulous Not Over Yet, and get an instant number 9 with one of those dance tracks that improves with age, as exciting as the day it was remixed. There’s even room for a decent bit of boyband pop as A1 make us the First To Believe at 7, Ocean Colour Scene show there’s Profit In Peace at 10 - if only it were true - and Pet Shop Boys disco chanter New York City Boy enters at 24. REM cover Tommy James 1971 US hit beautifully Draggin' The LIne, and Yazoo pop back at 6 with Only You 17 years on.

 

Westlife’s If I Let You Go actually makes my Top 40, not often that happened then, and Divine Comedy’s Fear Of The Pollen Count made my Top 20, which often happened then. Even Geri Halliwell joins Mel C, albeit at 30, with Mi Chico Latino, the record I always associate with a car drive to Torquay with my brother and nephew to watch the (almost-total) eclipse of the sun. That was fab, all the sheep on the hillside overlooking the town started braying when it got dark. Ah memories....

SEPTEMBER 1999

 

 

Bob Marley gets remixed Funkstar Deluxe 90‘s stylee (again) but this time it’s a real-old obscure track that gets the treatment, and it’s Faaaab - Sun Is Shining, appropriately for the eclipse. Following the Sixpence None The Richer pleasant cover of There She Goes, that well-known 1989 love song to Heroine (honest!) The La’s definitive version comes back and even bigger 3rd time round, going all the way to 1 for 3 weeks. That melody is a killer, which is quite appropriate I suppose.

 

Enrique hits 3, I do love my Spanish rhythms, gets my dancing shoes all a shuffling and a swaying, while Jordan Knight hits 7 with the terrific Give It To You, some weeks ahead of it’s UK chart debut. Better by far than the entire dreary NKOTB back catalogue. Moloko make their Top 10 debut with the great Sing It Back, and Tom Jones unlikely current duets album gives him a Talking Heads cover hit with the fab Cardigans, Burning Down The House.

 

Macy Gray announces “I Try”, and so she does at 6, while Supergrass are Moving to 12. Britney’s driving me crazy at 14, and Texas, bang in at 5 with the wonderful When We Are Together, all retro Motown delight. The Beatles are all Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, as a never-before-charted Sgt Pepper highlight album track 32 years on, and long overdue - even Elton had already charted it (with John Lennon assistance) in 1974, but the Fabs deserved that hit! New at 18, Santana is back with a vengeance at 18, helped in no small part by Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas, as Smooth brings that Latino guitar hero sound back 22 years since his last real hit. Yay! Not forgetting Mark Anthony, as I continue in my Latino music groove, at 20. Wonder if he knows J-Lo?

October 1999

 

The oldies dominate the top of my chart as classic 1968 Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb track By The Time I Get To Phoenix enters at 1 for a 3-week run - bearing in mind it never charted in the UK, but was very well-known, and critically respected, it’s about time is all I can say, and gave Glen a number one 29 years after his first, and his fifth to date. Bad news for Chris Isaak, but Wicked Game still hits 2, and had already been a number one in 1990, and the song is back in the UK and my charts this very week dance-stylee (for Parra For Cuva).

 

The Backstreet Boys get their 3rd chart-topper as Larger Than Life shoves Glen aside, and then that was more or less it for them as Britney and N’Sync hogged all the best songs from Max Martin.A former boyband member, albeit the generally limp New Kids On The Block, grabs a number 2 as Jordan Knight’s delicious and playful Give It To You outdoes their entire back catalogue in one single. Pet Shop Boys, meanwhile, have a rare non-topper single, as one of their more well-recalled later tracks, the very disco New York City Boy, peaks at 5 - the album Nightlife has better dance tracks on it though it’s still pretty damn good.

 

Future 2000 world-smash Smooth, goes top 10 for Santana and Rob Thomas (off Matchbox 20), all of whom have some number one action in 2000 coming up, and surprisingly classic album-track Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds also under-performed with all the chart action, going top 5 only for The Beatles. R. Kelly gets another of is occasional top 5 hits, as Turn Back The Hands Of Time has a 50’s flavour to it and hits 4, and Texas keep the non-stop run of fabulous singles going as When We Are Together takes it 60’s vibe to 2. The one that beat them to the top? Texas! Album-track Tell Me The Answer is pure classic Prince-soul-styled brilliance and really should have been a single, one of their best ever tracks, and utterly obscure.

 

Melanie C shows she can do it outside the Spice Girls and goes both down and gaga at 5. Britney’s also crazy at 8, while Tom Jones enlists the Cardigans for a Talking Heads song which leaves them burning down the house at 9, Tom’s umpteenth top 10 in 31 years, and yet another reinvention of his career - that’s how he’s kept going of course! S Club 7 have an S Club Party, heyyy, hooo, one of their best singles, Christina Aguilera announces her debut Genie in a bottle, at 9, Madness gallop into the top 10 with Johnny The Horse for a mad 20 years-worth of them, Gabrielle has some Sunshine at 10, Five Keep On Movin’ with a great pop single, while elsewhere there’s some dance, country, opera, europop, rock, r n b, and Latin-pop for a spot of variety...

November 1999 Charts

 

The gorgeous When We Are Together gives Texas an 8th Number One in 3 years, bit of a roll they were one! Backstreet Boys pop back on top, though, to total 3 weeks at the summit before a millennium reissue of John Lennon’s classic singles bundled enters at 1: Happy Xmas War Is Over, Imagine, Give Peace A Chance had already hit the top spot in multiple years, but originally 1972, 1980, and 1969 respectively. Happy Xmas War Is Over holds the record for the largest number of years that it held the top spot in for at least one week, that’s several in the 70’s, the 80’s, the 90’s to date.

 

Of course as everyone prepared for the end of the century apocalypse as all computers crashed and burned unable to cope with a calendar change, it was an opportunity to re-release lots of oldies, and for big acts to avoid bunging anything new out. At least anything of much quality. Happily old-timers the Lightning Seeds had the terrific Life’s Too Short in my top 5, the wonderfullt cheery Steal My Sunshine gave Len 5 minutes of fame, and Garbage had a Bond Theme delight as The World Is Not Enough gives them a Top 3 largely-forgotten addition to their list of great singles.

 

Smooth bounces back again into my top 10, Culture Club have a great ballad out - Cold Shoulder - featuring a good version of Bowie’s Starman on the B side, for a 17-year run of big hits (well, for George at any rate). Finally, a new entry at 20 for an obscure classic, Your Lies, from Shelby Lynn, a Phil Spector-styled passionate and vitriolic masterpiece from one of the great unknown and critically-acclaimed albums, I Am Shelby Lynn, an album that rewards repeat listens and taken as a whole, a journey through personal drama and the blues, country, pop. Sadly the original video is not on you tube, it was effective, but the one that is is still pretty powerful in it’s simplicity.
