December 17, 20159 yr Author It's a bit strange that it didn't manage 1 million over that chart run given that Earthsong, Gangsta's Paradise, Wonderwall and whatever Robson and Jerome were peddling back then all did and were the tracks that were holding Missing back from number 1. I guess the same could be said of Janet Jackson's Together Again in 1997/98.
December 19, 20159 yr Not a huge fan of Tracy Thorn's voice but Missing is a well-crafted and sophisticated remix.

December 22, 20159 yr A fantastic bit of progressive house that managed to go top 20 just before Christmas 1995, hugely underrated track: lrOHKz5xqIY
January 5, 20169 yr Although I don't see 1996 being much of a year (Sash!, Sash! and more Sash!?) looking forward to seeing this thread back on page one.
January 5, 20169 yr Author Although I don't see 1996 being much of a year (Sash!, Sash! and more Sash!?) looking forward to seeing this thread back on page one. :lol: Your memory of 1996 doesn't serve you very well at all. By the way - This thread will be resumed this evening.
January 5, 20169 yr Author didn't Sash's domination start in 1997?? :D Yes :lol: Edited January 5, 20169 yr by Colm
January 5, 20169 yr Author Ah well, I try to forget these things! Robert blimmin' Miles then? Many many many many many weeks. Possibly. :(
January 5, 20169 yr Author Baby D - So Pure http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/tonyttt31/so_pure.jpg Date 7th Jan 1996 2 Weeks Official Chart Run 3-4-10-19-29-42-64 (7 weeks) *Positions in red are the weeks when the track would be number 1 if just dance music was chart eligible. Mystery solved. Here we have the third and final appearance of Baby D with So Pure, taking advantage of some slow weeks in January to grab a few weeks as the best selling single in the UK at the expense Everything But the Girl's Missing. All three of their entries in this rundown come from the same album, Deliverance, which, having been spread over 15 months probably constitutes the largest time range of tracks from a single album from a band in this run down. So Sure is more piano and drum and bass which if it wasn't for a nice synth line and a murky breakdown would be quite featureless. One the whole, a less interesting prospect than their previous hits. They'd only trouble the charts twice more and one of those times would be with a remix of Let Me Be Your Fantasy in 2000. As we saw in the chart run for the previous number 1, Everything But the Girl would overcome Baby D to take one more week as the best selling dance single in the UK. bz8rbjn3TF4
January 6, 20169 yr Great track by Baby D, but I must stay I couldn't remember it. I still prefer the fantastic Let Me Be Your Fantasy :wub:
January 6, 20169 yr Author Not actually sure I know 'So Pure' but a good act to start the year off. I think they were running on fumes at this stage, but that's my opinion. I couldn't remember ever hearing So Pure before yesterday. Edited January 6, 20169 yr by Colm
January 6, 20169 yr Author Next entry will be a divisive one, to say the least. :D ................later Edited January 6, 20169 yr by Colm
January 6, 20169 yr I have absolutely no recollection of that Baby D follow-up whatsoever. I think I know what's coming next, and it is likely to be the only gabber entry on this list? (If I'm right).
