AH Gold Chart - 1995

 

It's now been 20 long years since I first started keeping weekly records of my chart, and so to commemorate (or commiserate) this milestone, I've shamelessly nicked popchartfreak's idea and will post all the weekly charts of 1995 here (hope John won't mind). I would add running commentary of the events of my life from that time, but my year could easily be summed up in a couple of sentences: 'got hit at school, cried. Saw others get hit, laughed. Got hit for laughing at those that got hit, cried. Became quite good looking, thus became briefly popular and lusted after. Then developed a shit load of spots and acne, cried. And that pretty much sums up my 1995. Happy days.

 

So, here's the first chart of the year. And aside from Black Duck and Thunder, I remember them all.

Hi AH, hooray!!! Actual archive charts apart from mine, fabulous! :yahoo:

 

Ah school days eh, I can relate, except for the good looking bit, I didn't get lusted after till I hit 40....and not much then :lol:

 

Great chart! I think I charted most of them, give or take Zig & Zag and a couple of others, and a lot of the key ones are spookily similar to my chart placings. Look forward to seeing the rest :dance:

Cheers John! :D Glad you're looking forward to this thread. Promise I'll make more of an effort to comment on yours too

no worries, they keep getting hits so I think people just dip in and out to see if there's anything theyve forgotten about or never knew :lol: I'm looking forward to your next number one and hoping it's the same as my first topper of 1995 - it might well be!

yay! Tell Me When at 1, and in my January 1995 charts too - there, I've given it away! :lol:

Always remember loving the video to Kylies Single Put Yourself In My Place when it came out. In the video she recreates the scene from the Film Barbarella and strips off her space suit :D

I did guess :lol: loved it then, still do now, though it doesn't stay at No.1 for very long...

it is a great video, should have done better than No.11, but at least now its rightly regarded one of her best :D

w/e 21st January 1995

 

* Just one week at the top for the Human League, as N Trance take over with the club classic Set You Free * A future AH Gold No.1 (19 years later in remixed form) enters for the first time at 16 for R Kelly. It won't get any higher first time round * Also underperforming (and would chart a lot higher if it was now) are Massive Attack and Tracey Thorn who debut at their #24 peak. At the time, I preferred Celine Dion's Think Twice which will stick around in the top 20 for a while yet *

quite a few of these I don't know (or have forgotten) and I few I was aware of but dont recall (like Jim Carrey), but good to see Thelma Houston in there too, along with TLC Massive Attack New Order. I did go big on a Deuce record - but not this one (I think...) :lol:

w/e 28th January 1995

 

* A 2nd week on top for N Trance with their only chart topper. Set You Free will nevertheless return to the higher reaches in 2001 * Strike and Tyrell Corporation will re-enter later in the year and will do much better second time around * Green Day debut with their biggest hit here * Ini Kamoze spends a third consecutive week at No.6

Of the new entries I was partial I think to Let Loose and Simple Minds, also MC Sar/Real McCoy and Vanessa mae. We'll see how the memory stacks up against reality in a week or so when I do my 1995 January chart too! :lol:

 

Top 10 Strike and Scarlet I also rated, apart from (Obviously) Human League and N Trance..

good to see Barry White in their, AH, though the ones I loved most were Perfecto, REM, MN8, M People and The The of the new entries. Most of them then :lol:

 

Deuce had a popchartfreak number 1, too. Not this one though...

must confess I don't remember the Barry White & The The ones, but I must have liked them at the time :D

w/e 11th February 1995

 

* Deuce spend a 2nd week on top holding off erm..something called Superdoopa. How to explain?...basically, a few friends and I made a really terrible song using some really terrible equipment. Fortunately, no physical evidence of this remains (I hope, anyway). Anyway, you'll just have to take my word for it that it was truly dreadful and mercifully, it gets no higher than No.2 and will vanish in a few weeks * A Radio 1 fave, yet a total flop (it didn't reach the Top 75), Junior Reid's Listen To The Voices debuts at No.12, on its way to the top. * Adam Ant returns at 25, though won't get any higher with the largely forgotten Wonderful * M People get their biggest hit (although One Night In Heaven, Don't Look Any Further, How Can I Love You More and Renaissance would all have made the top 5 had my chart started earlier) *

The 2 that are most vivid to me are the cowboy tracks, Sting and Jimmy nail, of the new entries. I'm not sure if I charted Junior Reid, that should be interesting to see....

 

 

(just checks)

 

yes it peaked at 40. Our charts are similar and different, though UK chart based anyway. No Superdoopa in my chart, so you're free to breathe a sigh of relief... :lol:
