26. Suggs - Cecilia (5.66)

((10), fgi, darkstar), ((0), Dandy)

 

Some early Robbie Williams here covering the classic George Michael 'Freedom', which peaked at Number 2 in the Top 40 in 1996. Other than that there are some very unmemorable tracks here.

25. Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton - Theme From Mission: Impossible (6.0) - didn't get a 10

((9), Ben), ((3), Acidburn, Dobbo)

 

24. Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train (6.0)

((10), Jester, darkstar), ((-1), Richie)

 

23. Peter Andre - Mysterious Girl (6.0) - Had an 2 10's and no negatives.

((10), Acidburn, Dobbo), ((0), Dandy, darkstar)

 

22. George Michael - Jesus To A Child (6.06)

((10), darkstar), ((0), Dobbo)

 

21. Cast - Walkaway (6.22)

((10), Jester, darkstar), ((-1), Dobbo)

 

Good to see The Theme from Mission:Impossible get into the Top 25. It's a shame Limp Bizkit's 'Take A Look Around' never made a Now album.

 

We also have a classic from Welsh rockers Ocean Colour Scene with their Top 10 hit 'The Day We Caught The Train'.

 

Peter Andre makes Now 34 with his hit 'Mysterious Girl'. It also appears on Now 54 too after being re-released in 2004 following him winning 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here'.

 

Lifted from his album 'Older', George Michael had a Number 1 hit in 1996 with 'Jesus To A Child'. Cast just misses out on the Top 20.

 

Yeah no real surprising dropouts so far, shame to see the alternative Macarena so low though.

 

Mysterious Girl should be top ten though! Absolute classic :lol: - also did he actually win Celebrity? Sure he came 3rd but ah well who really cares :P

We also have a classic from Welsh rockers Ocean Colour Scene with their Top 10 hit 'The Day We Caught The Train'.

 

 

:o

Shame that Louise - Naked is so low, great tune fond memories

Nothing of note that has dropped out thus far, except 'Mysterious Girl' which will forever remain a guilty pleasure, much like 'Macarena' if it was the original.

20. Pianoman - Blurred (6.23)

((8), Jester), ((5), Gavin, Richie, Vibe, Luciano)

 

19. Lighthouse Family - Ocean Drive (6.38)

((9), Jester, Acidburn, fgi), ((1), darkstar)

 

18. Blur - Charmless Man (6.43)

((11), luciano, darkstar), ((0), fgi)

 

17. Bluetones - Slight Return (6.45)

((10), darkstar, Jester, Dandy), ((2), fgi)

 

16. Todd Terry feat. Martha Welsh and Jecelyn Brown - Keep On Jumpin' (6.53)

((10), Gavin), ((1), Richie)

 

Pianoman sampled Blur' classic 'Girls and Boys' and took it to Number 6 in the UK charts.

 

Lighthouse Family feature on Now 34 with one of their most well known tracks 'Ocean Drive'. Despite being a well known track, it only peaked at Number 11. :o

 

Blur's classic 'Charmless Man bows out at Number 18 on our countdown here and was the 14th Top 40 hit for Britpop band Blur peaking at Number 5 in the UK Charts.

 

Bluetones 'Slight Return' was a Top 10 smash in February 1996.

 

Todd Terry's classic dance anthem just misses out on the Top 15.

15. Everything But The Girl - Wrong (6.75)

((10), Jester, Luciano), ((3), Richie)

 

14. Dodgy - Good Enough (6.87)

((10), Jester, Acidburn, Jade, Darkstar), ((0), fgi)

 

13. 2Pac Feat. Dr. Dre - California Love (6.87)

((11), Jade), ((0), fgi)

 

12. Space - Female Of The Species (7.0)

((10), Gavin, Luciano, Dandy, darkstar), ((2), Acidburn)

 

11. Joan Osbourne - One Of Us (7.14)

((10), Gavin, Liam, Nick F1, Dandy), ((0), Dobbo)

 

Following on from the massive hit 'Missing', EBTG had another Top 10 hit with 'Wrong'.

 

Dodgy haven't done too bad with their anthem 'Good Enough' and 2Pac is at 13 with his collaboration 'California Love'. Shame 'Changes' never made a Now album. :(

 

Missing out on the Top 10 is a great track from Space and a fabulous song from Joan Osbourne.

10. Suede - Trash (7.25)

((10), Gavin, Jester, Luciano, darkstar, Dandy), ((3), Dobbo)

 

Kicingh off the Top 10 is a band who did quite well in the Brit Pop era with a few hit singles including 'Trash' which peaked at Number 3 in the charts.

 

 

9. Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack (7.35)

((10), Gavin, Darkstar), ((1), Luciano)

 

Fantastic track and one of the best R&B tracks of the 90's.

 

Edited February 16, 201510 yr by gavindeejay

8. Robert Miles - Children (7.64)

((11), Nick F1, Rob S, Chez Wombat, Gavin), ((0), Richie, fgi)

 

Only Number 8??? :cry: I thought this would easily won. One of the biggest and best dance anthems of all time with that iconic piano riff. It peaked at Number 2 in the UK Top 40.

 

 

7. Gina G - Ooh..Aah Just A Little Bit (7.68)

((11), Acidburn, Ben), ((4), Dandy)

 

The UK entry for the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest

 

6. Wink - Higher State Of Consciousness (7.70)

((10), Jester, Luciano, Dandy), ((4), vibe)

 

This originally appeared on Now 32, but was a hit again in 1996 and appears again on Now 34.

 

 

5. JX - There's Nothing I Won't Do (8.0)

((11), fgi), ((5), Vibe, Richie)

 

Another classic 90's dance anthem doing well on this rate. 'There'sNothing I Won't Do' peaked at Number4 following up 'Son Of A Gun'.

 

4. Underworld - Born Slippy (8.02)

((11), Dandy), ((2), Liam)

 

From the soundtrack to the film 'Trainspotting' 'Born Slippy' peaked at Number 2 in the UK Top 40.

 

 

3. Livin' Joy - Don't Stop Movin' (8.33)

((11), Dobbo), ((2), Richie)

 

Livin' Joy followed up 'Dreamer' with another Top 5 hit 'Don't Stop Movin'.

 

2. Oasis - Wonderwall (8.41)

((11), Jester), ((-1), simon)

 

Just missing out on winning the Now 34 rate is Oasis with a classic from their fantastic album 'What's The Story (Morning Glory)'. 'Wonderwall' peaked at Number 2 in the charts and is one of Oasis' signature hits.

 

 

1. Spice Girls - Wannabe (8.76)

((11) Liam, Vibe), ((4), Richie, Dandy)

 

 

Looks like the Girl Power of the 90's is still alive on Buzzjack as the Spice Girls win the rate.

Didn't expect to see Livin' Joy in the top three! Gina G coming low top ten, just like in Eurovision (how did it not win again, and why did I not vote, would have been my 11 :drama:).

 

Slight Return way too low too!
