The Taron Egerton/Jackman track was from the movie soundtrack about Eddie The Eagle.

November 23, 2024Nov 23 John, did you chart Beautiful South version of "Dream A Little Dream" ? It was a single in some European countries in 1995 year, but not in UK.
November 24, 2024Nov 24 Author John, did you chart Beautiful South version of "Dream A Little Dream" ? It was a single in some European countries in 1995 year, but not in UK. Yes I did, it was a lovely cover, as was their cover of Nilsson's Everybody's Talking :wub: Their best stuff was in the 90's I think, lots of big chart hits for me! One day I'll have my charts all digitised and I can do complete hits segments. :dance: :lol: 1995 I still have 3 or 4 months left to complete but I hope to crack on with 1975, 1980 and 1995 next year which are partially done. That will leave 1976/77, 1981/2 and 1996/7 and I'm all done!

Paul MAY be doing the high-pitched "Baby" segment, but I can't find that confirmed anywhere and I doubt any of the original instruments he played are sampled either. Otherwise that would have been number 8 on the list...

January 26Jan 26 Author PET SHOP BOYS OK, the one you've all been waiting for...and there's no way I can limit the 20th century output to just 12. Bear in mind this doesn't include anything from the 20th Century (bar 2 tracks released/charted in early 2000) and their "Imperial Phase" is now well over 35 years ago. Neil Tennant used that phrase first and it's now on Wikipedia, so kudos Neil. Other acts deserve a list of more than 12, but I'm making this exception just the once until I have completed my A to Z of everything that has ever made my charts, at which point I will prob list everything by acts who have had 10 or more Top 10's, in batches of 10 20, 30, 40, and so on and we'll see who really is significant! 1 (1 36) NEW LONDON BOY Pet Shop Boys (2559750) 20242 (1 33) BURN Pet Shop Boys (1444950) 20163 (1 27) MIRACLES Pet Shop Boys (1434150) 20034 (1 22) ALL OVER THE WORLD/REMIX Pet Shop Boys (1372450) 20095 (1 28) MORE THAN A DREAM Pet Shop Boys (1293200) 20096 (1 25) DID YOU SEE ME COMING?
