Don't think I know any of the songs that have gone out so far (except the True Steppers one but even that I couldn't hum to you).

42. New Kids On The Block - Step By Step 113 pts

 

Stopped by : Englandneworder - World In Motion

Top points - ready for it 23,pippa 20,M4NGO 19

 

New Kids On The Block's best selling single worldwide. It's another cover version,with the original being released by The Superiors in 1987. It was the fifth of eight top 10 singles for the group in 1990 which was a record for any group in a calendar year. I would think that's a record that still stands unless anyone here can think of another group that can beat that total.

The days when artists used to release a new single every other month! 'Step By Step' is definitely one of my guilty pleasures, I had no idea it was a cover version though :o

Stopped by : Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric?

Top points - King Rollo 22,DASHER77 21,Darrenj 18

 

A song with seven verses but no chorus gave Squeeze their second consecutive no.2 single. The video was filmed in John Lennon's old house,where he had made the promotional film for 'Imagine'. One of the girls in the background washing up and making tea is Michelle Collins who later played the role of Cindy Beale in Eastenders.

The third of Sweet's five no.2 singles. The lyrics were inspired by an incident in which the band were forced to run off the stage after bottles were thrown at them during one of their concerts in Scotland. Three voters gave maximum scores to this song.

The Ballroom Blitz is a right stomper tbh *.*

 

Modern Love and Love Machine should be a lot higher

Emeli Sandé turned out to be mostly a bland disappointment but 'Heaven' remains a brilliant song from her, shame to see that going out.
