August 23, 20213 yr Author I used to live in a very small town in California but didn't manage to visit the 50 states either :D curious to see if Bryan Adams grabs the #2 sport next Small town California sounds great to me - I loved my California trips, small towns seemed friendlier than city folk on the whole, or at least curious about my accent :) 3 tracks in this weeks top 20 are heading for the top spot in 1991, and one made it in the 21st century (Jealousy), so I'll keep you guessing which... :lol:
August 23, 20213 yr Author 4th August 1991 It's 3 weeks on top for Cathy Dennis as Bryan Adams sticks at 2 and Bomb The Bass rise to 3. The Doors follow-up Light My Fire with a second top 5 oldie, Riders Of The Storm charting in 1971 and 1976 but never going top 10 before, and it very much deserves a top 5 slot but is unlucky to crash into 4 classic 1991 singles as The Shamen move mountains to climb to 5, with Karl Keaton up to 7 - amazing considering it flopped, and I bought it, and forgot about it. Scritti Politti make it 7 years of top 20's, and Extreme move more than words into the 20. Highest new entry is Prince - or rather a Prince creation sung by Martika, rejuvenating her career 2 years on from Toy Soldiers. New at 22, while at 27 PM Dawn are back with Set Adrift On Memory Bliss, sampling Spandau Ballet and improving on the original record considerably. Oh yes it does! Morrissey is pregnant for the last time at 28, which is a huge relief to all of us I'm sure, and at 29 a summer classic debuts for DJ Jazzy Jeff and newly-famous sitcom teen star rapper The Fresh Prince, or future superstar movie actor Will Smith is you prefer. Summertime has charted many times, cos it's fab, and is based on a 1972 Kool & The Gang single. This week Dannii Minogue becomes the first Minogue I saw in person, singing along to a backing track on the Radio One Roadshow on Bournemouth Pier Approach - in those days Radio One actually made annual seaside jaunts with a different pop star at each one you got to see for free, and I always made the effort to turn up from 1984 onwards until they stopped doing them due to Health & Safety or cash issues. Cash I'd bet the main reason. Midge Ure brings his Cold Cold Heart in at 48 for 15 years of charting from Slick & Rich Kids via Ultravox, Visage and Band Aid to solo success. Young Disciples debut a souljazz goodie, apparently nothin'! Bananarama are back tripping for a decade of hits, Wilson Phillips are still following-up Hold On, Color Me Badd make it 2 in a row, Squeeze return for 13 years of action with Sunday Street, and Black and Sam Brown team up with a track I don't recall at all, Fly Up To The Moon. 1 ( 1 ) JUST ANOTHER DREAM Cathy Dennis 2 ( 2 ) EVERYTHING I DO (I DO IT FOR YOU) Bryan Adams 3 ( 11 ) WINTER IN JULY Bomb The Bass 4 ( NEW ) RIDERS OF THE STORM The Doors 5 ( 19 ) MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN The Shamen 6 ( 3 ) PANDORA’S BOX Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 7 ( 20 ) LOVE’S BURN Karl Keaton 8 ( 4 ) MONSTERS AND ANGELS Voice Of The Beehive 9 ( 5 ) GENERATIONS OF LOVE Jesus Loves You 10 ( 6 ) SAFE FROM HARM Massive Attack featuring Shara Nelson 11 ( 7 ) GET IT ON Yo Yo Honey 12 ( 16 ) JEALOUSY Pet Shop Boys 13 ( 8 ) LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING Cher 14 ( 10 ) THE BEGINNING Seal 15 ( 12 ) NOW THAT WE’VE FOUND LOVE Heavy D & The Boyz 16 ( 28 ) TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS Scritti Politti featuring Sweetie Irie 17 ( 9 ) HEY STOOPID Alice Cooper 18 ( 14 ) DO YOU WANT ME Salt ‘n’ Pepa 19 ( 13 ) IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER Lenny Kravitz 20 ( 47 ) MORE THAN WORDS Extreme 21 ( 35 ) I LIKE IT DJH featuring Stefy 22 ( NEW ) LOVE THY WILL BE DONE Martika 23 ( 15 ) UNFORGETTABLE Natalie Cole & Nat ‘King’ Cole 24 ( 18 ) DO IT AGAIN The Beach Boys 25 ( 61 ) ALWAYS THERE Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown 26 ( 24 ) THINKING ABOUT YOUR LOVE Kenny Thomas 27 ( NEW ) SET ADRIFT ON MEMORY BLISS PM Dawn 28 ( NEW ) PREGNANT FOR THE LAST TIME Morrissey 29 ( NEW ) SUMMERTIME DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 30 ( 39 ) I’M TOO SEXY Right Said Fred 31 ( 21 ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 32 ( 22 ) I WANNA SEX YOU UP Color Me Badd 33 ( 32 ) HOLIDAY Madonna 34 ( 23 ) A BETTER LOVE Londonbeat 35 ( 17 ) THE ONLY LOVE The Bee Gees 36 ( 63 ) RUN FROM LOVE Jimmy Somerville 37 ( 49 ) WIND OF CHANGE The Scorpions 38 ( 30 ) WHEN HE’S GONE The Bee Gees 39 ( 50 ) THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO MMMM C+C Music factory 40 ( 45 ) JUMP TO THE BEAT Dannii Minogue 41 ( 29 ) ONLY FOOLS (FALL IN LOVE) Sonia 42 ( 41 ) YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ The Righteous Brothers 43 ( 37 ) FADING LIKE A FLOWER Roxette 44 ( 26 ) WALKING DOWN MADISON Kirsty MacColl 45 ( 36 ) TOUCH ME (ALL NIGHT LONG) Cathy Dennis 46 ( RE ) JUST THE WAY IT IS BABY The Rembrandts 47 ( 38 ) BABY BABY Amy Grant 48 ( NEW ) COLD COLD HEART Midge Ure 49 ( 42 ) LIGHT MY FIRE The Doors 50 ( 48 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 51 ( 44 ) RESCUE ME Madonna 52 ( 72 ) TIME LOVE AND TENDERNESS Michael Bolton 53 ( 27 ) RUSH RUSH Paula Abdul 54 ( 31 ) MAMA Kim Appleby 55 ( 54 ) WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER (1990 TK REMIX) Timmy Thomas 56 ( 52 ) DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Elton John 57 ( 62 ) MY AFFAIR Kirsty MacColl 58 ( 33 ) THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THIS Omar 59 ( 55 ) (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU/ MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING Carpenters 60 ( NEW ) SCARY GO ROUND EP Jellyfish 61 ( 25 ) SHADOWTIME Siouxsie & The Banshees 62 ( NEW ) APPARENTLY NOTHIN’ Young Disciples 63 ( 51 ) LAST TRAIN TO TRANCENTRAL (LIVE FROM THE LOST CONTINENT) The KLF featuring Ricardo Da Force 64 ( NEW ) TRIPPING ON YOUR LOVE Bananarama 65 ( 60 ) MERCY MERCY ME/ I WANT YOU Robert Palmer 66 ( 71 ) EVERYDAY PEOPLE Aretha Franklin 67 ( 65 ) LET IT BE The Beatles 68 ( 58 ) WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME - CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU/HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?

August 24, 20213 yr Author good to see Cathy Dennis blocking Bryan Adams :lol: I can't remember when ol Bry tops my charts (or if), but I definitely bought the CD single while it was full price - and it's def not next week cos it's dropping :lol:
August 24, 20213 yr Hi there! Good to see you around again, hope things are settling down a bit for you. Here's the ones I particularly like from your chart: 3 ( 11 ) WINTER IN JULY Bomb The Bass - this is lovely, one of the more underrated and understated tracks of the 90s. 5 ( 19 ) MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN The Shamen - their first moment of true greatness, adored them with this and pretty much everything on Boss Drum. 6 ( 3 ) PANDORA’S BOX Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - excellent, their best ever single for me 8 ( 4 ) MONSTERS AND ANGELS Voice Of The Beehive - another underrated song, they barely put a foot wrong singles wise for me 10 ( 6 ) SAFE FROM HARM Massive Attack featuring Shara Nelson - an absolute classic, obviously overshadowed by the bigger hit but this is just as sublime imo 12 ( 16 ) JEALOUSY Pet Shop Boys 13 ( 8 ) LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING Cher - my favourite Cher track 14 ( 10 ) THE BEGINNING Seal 19 ( 13 ) IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER Lenny Kravitz - by far his best song, sounds like a lost soul classic 20 ( 47 ) MORE THAN WORDS Extreme 22 ( NEW ) LOVE THY WILL BE DONE Martika - hated this at the time but I've grown to really appreciate it 25 ( 61 ) ALWAYS THERE Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown 26 ( 24 ) THINKING ABOUT YOUR LOVE Kenny Thomas 27 ( NEW ) SET ADRIFT ON MEMORY BLISS PM Dawn - great use of a sample, one of the first and most prominent songs to do so that I can remember from the time 29 ( NEW ) SUMMERTIME DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 31 ( 21 ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 33 ( 32 ) HOLIDAY Madonna 39 ( 50 ) THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO MMMM C+C Music factory 43 ( 37 ) FADING LIKE A FLOWER Roxette 44 ( 26 ) WALKING DOWN MADISON Kirsty MacColl 45 ( 36 ) TOUCH ME (ALL NIGHT LONG) Cathy Dennis 47 ( 38 ) BABY BABY Amy Grant 49 ( 42 ) LIGHT MY FIRE The Doors 50 ( 48 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 51 ( 44 ) RESCUE ME Madonna 58 ( 33 ) THERE’S NOTHING LIKE THIS Omar 62 ( NEW ) APPARENTLY NOTHIN’ Young Disciples - Absolutely LOVE this.

Pet Shop Boys Thanks dandy, appreciate that, yes things are more settled now, there'll be months of sorting to do, but my immediate issue is not being able to get out of the house easily now there's no-one to keep an eye on mum - so Buzzjack will be even more important to me now as a diversion! :) I know I keep saying it but your taste in music is just so cool, you've pretty much cherry-picked most of the key tracks, and in terms of under-appreciating stuff at the time for me it's Omar - I liked it a lot but it never climbed the heights it deserved and these days I love it. Boss Drum is an album I bought, Bomb The Bass is pure gorgeousness, Lenny Kravitz' best song by far, and Love & Understanding sounds so powerful 30 years later, much more so than it did coming after Shoop Shoop. 2 of your picks will be topping my 1991 charts in the 3 or 4 weeks, no prizes for guessing which 2 :lol:
August 28, 20213 yr Author 11th August 1991 It's a first chart-topper for Bomb The Bass with the lovely Winter In July as forgotten wannabe soul hitmaker Karl Keaton rises to runners-up position, considerably higher than he achieved anywhere else by about 74 places. PM Dawn get a top 10 with the fab Set Adrift On Memory Bliss - baby you send me! Extreme also get a tuneful ballad top 10. Highest new entry is Army Of Lovers, the quirky hitmaking European trio being visually eye-catching, camp as a row of tents and utterly fabulous - Crucified remains essential, even if it took two goes to get any UK chart success. BEF re-enter to a new peak, making it Family Affair's second top 40 hit version after Sly & The Family Stone, while Beverley Craven, Jellyfish, Young Disciples & Color Me Badd all get big moves into the 40. De La Soul get their "still unavailable" run of daisy-age rap singles coming with A Roller Skating jam Named "Saturdays" at 46, as Jason Donovan covers the Turtles 60's pop classic Happy Together at 63. It's an OK version, too. Stevie Nicks ponders a bit of bitchin', David Bowie manages to get a Tin Machine single into the rundown - given the usual racket, that's pretty good - Samantha Fox is still having hits 5 years on with Another Woman, Altern 8 briefly pop in, and Sophie Lawrence fails to get anywhere near as good as Donna Summer's Love's Unkind, recently handled much better by a sampling Texas. 1 ( 3 ) WINTER IN JULY Bomb The Bass 2 ( 7 ) LOVE’S BURN Karl Keaton 3 ( 1 ) JUST ANOTHER DREAM Cathy Dennis 4 ( 5 ) MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN The Shamen 5 ( 4 ) RIDERS OF THE STORM The Doors 6 ( 2 ) EVERYTHING I DO (I DO IT FOR YOU) Bryan Adams 7 ( 27 ) SET ADRIFT ON MEMORY BLISS PM Dawn 8 ( 6 ) PANDORA’S BOX Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 9 ( 9 ) GENERATIONS OF LOVE Jesus Loves You 10 ( 20 ) MORE THAN WORDS Extreme 11 ( 13 ) LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING Cher 12 ( 16 ) TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS Scritti Politti featuring Sweetie Irie 13 ( 8 ) MONSTERS AND ANGELS Voice Of The Beehive 14 ( 10 ) SAFE FROM HARM Massive Attack featuring Shara Nelson 15 ( 12 ) JEALOUSY Pet Shop Boys 16 ( 14 ) THE BEGINNING Seal 17 ( NEW ) CRUCIFIED Army Of Lovers 18 ( 22 ) LOVE THY WILL BE DONE Martika 19 ( 11 ) GET IT ON Yo Yo Honey 20 ( 25 ) ALWAYS THERE Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown 21 ( 21 ) I LIKE IT DJH featuring Stefy 22 ( 15 ) NOW THAT WE’VE FOUND LOVE Heavy D & The Boyz 23 ( 29 ) SUMMERTIME DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 24 ( 18 ) DO YOU WANT ME Salt ‘n’ Pepa 25 ( 17 ) HEY STOOPID Alice Cooper 26 ( 19 ) IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER Lenny Kravitz 27 ( RE ) FAMILY AFFAIR B.E.F. featuring Lalah Hathaway 28 ( 23 ) UNFORGETTABLE Natalie Cole & Nat ‘King’ Cole 29 ( 74 ) HOLDING ON Beverley Craven 30 ( 40 ) JUMP TO THE BEAT Dannii Minogue 31 ( 24 ) DO IT AGAIN The Beach Boys 32 ( 52 ) TIME LOVE AND TENDERNESS Michael Bolton 33 ( 60 ) SCARY GO ROUND EP Jellyfish 34 ( 39 ) THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO MMMM C+C Music factory 35 ( 36 ) RUN FROM LOVE Jimmy Somerville 36 ( 33 ) HOLIDAY Madonna 37 ( 32 ) I WANNA SEX YOU UP Color Me Badd 38 ( 62 ) APPARENTLY NOTHIN’ Young Disciples 39 ( 26 ) THINKING ABOUT YOUR LOVE Kenny Thomas 40 ( 70 ) ALL 4 LOVE Color Me Badd 41 ( 38 ) WHEN HE’S GONE The Bee Gees 42 ( 31 ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 43 ( 42 ) YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ The Righteous Brothers 44 ( 46 ) JUST THE WAY IT IS BABY The Rembrandts 45 ( 34 ) A BETTER LOVE Londonbeat 46 ( NEW ) A ROLLER-SKATING JAM NAMED “SATURDAYS” De La Soul 47 ( 48 ) COLD COLD HEART Midge Ure 48 ( 28 ) PREGNANT FOR THE LAST TIME Morrissey 49 ( 30 ) I’M TOO SEXY Right Said Fred 50 ( 66 ) EVERYDAY PEOPLE Aretha Franklin 51 ( 50 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 52 ( 37 ) WIND OF CHANGE The Scorpions 53 ( 45 ) TOUCH ME (ALL NIGHT LONG) Cathy Dennis 54 ( 57 ) MY AFFAIR Kirsty MacColl 55 ( 64 ) TRIPPING ON YOUR LOVE Bananarama 56 ( 55 ) WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER (1990 TK REMIX) Timmy Thomas 57 ( 51 ) RESCUE ME Madonna 58 ( 41 ) ONLY FOOLS (FALL IN LOVE) Sonia 59 ( 56 ) DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Elton John 60 ( 44 ) WALKING DOWN MADISON Kirsty MacColl 61 ( 59 ) (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU/ MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING Carpenters 62 ( 43 ) FADING LIKE A FLOWER Roxette 63 ( NEW ) HAPPY TOGETHER Jason Donovan 64 ( 49 ) LIGHT MY FIRE The Doors 65 ( NEW ) SOMETIMES IT’S A BITCH Stevie Nicks 66 ( NEW ) YOU BELONG IN ROCK ‘N’ ROLL Tin Machine featuring David Bowie 67 ( 67 ) LET IT BE The Beatles 68 ( 47 ) BABY BABY Amy Grant 69 ( RE ) LET THE BEAT HIT ‘EM Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam 70 ( 65 ) MERCY MERCY ME/ I WANT YOU Robert Palmer 71 ( NEW ) ANOTHER WOMAN Samantha Fox 72 ( 63 ) LAST TRAIN TO TRANCENTRAL (LIVE FROM THE LOST CONTINENT) The KLF featuring Ricardo Da Force 73 ( NEW ) INFILTRATE 202 Altern 8 74 ( NEW ) LOVE’S UNKIND Sophie Lawrence 75 ( 68 ) WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME - CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU/HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?

August 28, 20213 yr Powerful week. Three new entries were # 1s in my chart. I love both Sophie Lawrence singles (6 weeks at # 1 for "Love's Unkind" and 4 weeks at # 1 for "Secrets") :heart: "Sometimes It's A Bitch" is my favourite Stevie Nicks song.
August 30, 20213 yr Author Powerful week. Three new entries were # 1s in my chart. I love both Sophie Lawrence singles (6 weeks at # 1 for "Love's Unkind" and 4 weeks at # 1 for "Secrets") :heart: "Sometimes It's A Bitch" is my favourite Stevie Nicks song. Thanks Alex, though you may be disappointed with the peak of Love's Unkind, oops! :lol: Stevie Nicks having a massive climb in my charts this week though, I'd forgotten the record and how much I rated it!
August 30, 20213 yr Author 18th August 1991 It's a bounce back up to the top spot for Generations Of Love, Boy George's new track under the alias Jesus Loves You, which gives him a first chart-topper since The War Song became Culture Club's 5th in 1984. One bizarre aspect of my 1991 charts is the eccentric ups and downs of records - that's never been much of a thing in my charts, more of an occasional feature, but it went mad in 1991, I think, due to my being pissed off at the vastly over-priced CD singles and the deteriorating sound quality of vinyl singles (purely co-incidence I'm sure) which were now being used as bargain-basement first-week chart-plugs, so I'd stopped buying my favourite records and just bought those that were reasonably-priced. I'm sure I'm not the only one, and that might explain the more novelty records that sold well during 1991 and why Bryan Adams spent forever on top of the charts - I just checked as it had dropped to 11 after peaking at 2, and I could have sworn it topped my charts. it did. on it's 18th week in my charts. You have been warned. Anyway, the net effect was records tended not to dominate as I bought and played them, so I was more affected by what I heard on the radio and TV. Highest new entry at 3 is the track that lost Marc Bolan a lot of fans in 1973 when it came out cos it sounded a bit gay, but was actually a mighty riff and one of his best records, back and matching it's peak of 3 in my charts first-time round as it became a hit all over again. Army Of Lovers take their modern mighty sound into the top 10, and Martika gets a second top 10 courtesy of Prince. Summertime classic from Jazzy Jeff and Willy Smith is top 20, and Jason Donovan gets a huge top 20 climb with his Turtles carbon-copy SAW-stylee. Stevie Nicks also bounds into the 40. Sonia covers The Tams Northern Soul goodie and is rewarded with an instant top 40, REM return, and Guns 'n' Roses re-enter and remix brings Zoe back with Sunshine On A Rainy Day. Julian Lennon is also back 7 years on from his last big hit, with a very John Lennon-sounding Saltwater, his best record and I'm sure his dad would have been proud. Clannad & Paul Young cover Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Glen Campbell and others who have recorded Both Sides Now, at 60, with Any Grant, Deacon Blue, Karyn White, Vanilla Ice, Level 42 and Blur all following the "minor follow-up I haven't heard for 30 years and have mostly forgotten" category 1 ( 9 ) GENERATIONS OF LOVE Jesus Loves You 2 ( 1 ) WINTER IN JULY Bomb The Bass 3 ( NEW ) 20th CENTURY BOY T.Rex 4 ( 2 ) LOVE’S BURN Karl Keaton 5 ( 3 ) JUST ANOTHER DREAM Cathy Dennis 6 ( 7 ) SET ADRIFT ON MEMORY BLISS PM Dawn 7 ( 4 ) MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN The Shamen 8 ( 17 ) CRUCIFIED Army Of Lovers 9 ( 18 ) LOVE THY WILL BE DONE Martika 10 ( 5 ) RIDERS OF THE STORM The Doors 11 ( 6 ) EVERYTHING I DO (I DO IT FOR YOU) Bryan Adams 12 ( 10 ) MORE THAN WORDS Extreme 13 ( 8 ) PANDORA’S BOX Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 14 ( 23 ) SUMMERTIME DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 15 ( 11 ) LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING Cher 16 ( 27 ) FAMILY AFFAIR B.E.F. featuring Lalah Hathaway 17 ( 20 ) ALWAYS THERE Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown 18 ( 14 ) SAFE FROM HARM Massive Attack featuring Shara Nelson 19 ( 63 ) HAPPY TOGETHER Jason Donovan 20 ( 13 ) MONSTERS AND ANGELS Voice Of The Beehive 21 ( 12 ) TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS Scritti Politti featuring Sweetie Irie 22 ( 15 ) JEALOUSY Pet Shop Boys 23 ( 16 ) THE BEGINNING Seal 24 ( 30 ) JUMP TO THE BEAT Dannii Minogue 25 ( 19 ) GET IT ON Yo Yo Honey 26 ( 29 ) HOLDING ON Beverley Craven 27 ( 22 ) NOW THAT WE’VE FOUND LOVE Heavy D & The Boyz 28 ( 25 ) HEY STOOPID Alice Cooper 29 ( 65 ) SOMETIMES IT’S A BITCH Stevie Nicks 30 ( 38 ) APPARENTLY NOTHIN’ Young Disciples 31 ( 40 ) ALL 4 LOVE Color Me Badd 32 ( 24 ) DO YOU WANT ME Salt ‘n’ Pepa 33 ( 46 ) A ROLLER-SKATING JAM NAMED “SATURDAYS” De La Soul 34 ( 26 ) IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER Lenny Kravitz 35 ( 28 ) UNFORGETTABLE Natalie Cole & Nat ‘King’ Cole 36 ( 32 ) TIME LOVE AND TENDERNESS Michael Bolton 37 ( NEW ) BE YOUNG BE FOOLISH BE HAPPY Sonia 38 ( 55 ) TRIPPING ON YOUR LOVE Bananarama 39 ( 31 ) DO IT AGAIN The Beach Boys 40 ( 47 ) COLD COLD HEART Midge Ure 41 ( 36 ) HOLIDAY Madonna 42 ( RE ) YOU COULD BE MINE Guns ‘n’ Roses 43 ( 21 ) I LIKE IT DJH featuring Stefy 44 ( 43 ) YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ The Righteous Brothers 45 ( NEW ) NEAR WILD HEAVEN REM 46 ( 37 ) I WANNA SEX YOU UP Color Me Badd 47 ( NEW ) SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY (REMIX) Zoe 48 ( 51 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 49 ( 42 ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 50 ( 41 ) WHEN HE’S GONE The Bee Gees 51 ( 39 ) THINKING ABOUT YOUR LOVE Kenny Thomas 52 ( 52 ) WIND OF CHANGE The Scorpions 53 ( NEW ) SALTWATER Julian Lennon 54 ( 35 ) RUN FROM LOVE Jimmy Somerville 55 ( 53 ) TOUCH ME (ALL NIGHT LONG) Cathy Dennis 56 ( 56 ) WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER (1990 TK REMIX) Timmy Thomas 57 ( 57 ) RESCUE ME Madonna 58 ( 34 ) THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO MMMM C+C Music factory 59 ( 59 ) DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Elton John 60 ( NEW ) BOTH SIDES NOW Clannad & Paul Young 61 ( 61 ) (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU/ MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING Carpenters 62 ( 66 ) YOU BELONG IN ROCK ‘N’ ROLL Tin Machine featuring David Bowie 63 ( 49 ) I’M TOO SEXY Right Said Fred 64 ( NEW ) EVERY HEARTBEAT Amy Grant 65 ( 60 ) WALKING DOWN MADISON Kirsty MacColl 66 ( 62 ) FADING LIKE A FLOWER Roxette 67 ( 67 ) LET IT BE The Beatles 68 ( NEW ) TWIST AND SHOUT Deacon Blue 69 ( NEW ) ROMANTIC Karyn White 70 ( NEW ) SATISFACTION Vanilla Ice 71 ( 74 ) LOVE’S UNKIND Sophie Lawrence 72 ( 70 ) MERCY MERCY ME/ I WANT YOU Robert Palmer 73 ( 58 ) ONLY FOOLS (FALL IN LOVE) Sonia 74 ( NEW ) GUARANTEED Level 42 75 ( NEW ) BANG Blur Playlist 1 “Sugar Tax” Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 2 DAYDREAMING Dusty Springfield 3 DRIVE The Cars
August 30, 20213 yr I was just listening to 'Army of Lovers' the other day on Spotify. Still a tune and one of your best entries imo. The video is scary as hell though haha. Love the T.Rex and Alice Cooper tracks as well (memories of singing that one in the car with the volume up loud, same with 'Poison'.) 'More Than Words' is a lovely song too, heard part of it on Radio 2 the other day. The voices mesh so well!

Aww thanks Roba, I love Crucified and also the bonkers video :lol: Glad you rate it, and also can't go wrong with T.Rex and Alice played loud. Alice is the only gig I went to where I had to walk out it was so LOUD! Well past 11 on the 1 to 10 scale. It hurt! :lol:
August 30, 20213 yr Yeah I imagine. My sister's been to see him too in Brighton I think. I'd love to have experienced it myself but oh well :lol:
September 3, 20213 yr Author 25th August 1991 It's T.Rex grabbing a second posthumous chart-topper with non-remixes 9 years after Telegram Sam did the same, with 20th Century Boy joining remixes of Get It On and Children Of The Revolution, a mash-up of all the singles to give Marc Bolan only one single left to top the chart from 1970's Ride A White Swan through to 20th Century Boy in 1973, a run of 9 and a total of 10. PM Dawn out-peak Spandau Ballet's True at 4 and Jazzy Jeff & Will Smith get a top 10 with Summertime. In a big week for new entries, 50's pop classic Hello Marylou gives the late Rick Nelson a second chart entry, his first since Garden Party in 1972, in at 11. Salt 'n' Pepa are back rapidly with a pop goodie, Let's Talk About Sex at 16, and Zoe, Sonia & Midge Ure all add to their top 20 totals (previously zero for Zoe). REM, Guns 'n' Roses and big climber Karyn White make to the top 40, and new in is another Roxette (Big L), Black Crowes (Otis Redding's Hard To handle), Rod Stewart (Broken Arrow), & Prince (Get Off, a thumping dancefunk debut), all of them instant top 40's. Lower down, Lloyd Cole is back for a 7th year, minus his Commotions, Simple Minds make it a decade, Kylie keeps her 3-year-run fresh, and Maxi Priest helps Shabba Ranks to a hit, 5 years of reggae charting. Oceanic debut quietly with Insanity, one of the UK big-sellers of 1991, EMF and The Farm are at the "that's a follow-up single I don't remember" stage to 1990 debuts, and Texas extend their run to 2 years. 1 ( 3 ) 20th CENTURY BOY T.Rex 2 ( 4 ) LOVE’S BURN Karl Keaton 3 ( 2 ) WINTER IN JULY Bomb The Bass 4 ( 6 ) SET ADRIFT ON MEMORY BLISS PM Dawn 5 ( 1 ) GENERATIONS OF LOVE Jesus Loves You 6 ( 8 ) CRUCIFIED Army Of Lovers 7 ( 5 ) JUST ANOTHER DREAM Cathy Dennis 8 ( 7 ) MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN The Shamen 9 ( 9 ) LOVE THY WILL BE DONE Martika 10 ( 14 ) SUMMERTIME DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 11 ( NEW ) HELLO MARYLOU Ricky Nelson 12 ( 47 ) SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY (REMIX) Zoe 13 ( 11 ) EVERYTHING I DO (I DO IT FOR YOU) Bryan Adams 14 ( 10 ) RIDERS OF THE STORM The Doors 15 ( 13 ) PANDORA’S BOX Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 16 ( NEW ) LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX Salt ‘n’ Pepa 17 ( 37 ) BE YOUNG BE FOOLISH BE HAPPY Sonia 18 ( 15 ) LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING Cher 19 ( 19 ) HAPPY TOGETHER Jason Donovan 20 ( 40 ) COLD COLD HEART Midge Ure 21 ( 12 ) MORE THAN WORDS Extreme 22 ( 45 ) NEAR WILD HEAVEN REM 23 ( 18 ) SAFE FROM HARM Massive Attack featuring Shara Nelson 24 ( 42 ) YOU COULD BE MINE Guns ‘n’ Roses 25 ( 20 ) MONSTERS AND ANGELS Voice Of The Beehive 26 ( 29 ) SOMETIMES IT’S A BITCH Stevie Nicks 27 ( 27 ) NOW THAT WE’VE FOUND LOVE Heavy D & The Boyz 28 ( 22 ) JEALOUSY Pet Shop Boys 29 ( 17 ) ALWAYS THERE Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown 30 ( 69 ) ROMANTIC Karyn White 31 ( 31 ) ALL 4 LOVE Color Me Badd 32 ( 16 ) FAMILY AFFAIR B.E.F. featuring Lalah Hathaway 33 ( NEW ) THE BIG L Roxette 34 ( 28 ) HEY STOOPID Alice Cooper 35 ( 23 ) THE BEGINNING Seal 36 ( NEW ) HARD TO HANDLE The Black Crowes 37 ( NEW ) BROKEN ARROW Rod Stewart 38 ( 21 ) TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS Scritti Politti featuring Sweetie Irie 39 ( 25 ) GET IT ON Yo Yo Honey 40 ( NEW ) GET OFF Prince & The New Power Generation 41 ( 35 ) UNFORGETTABLE Natalie Cole & Nat ‘King’ Cole 42 ( 41 ) HOLIDAY Madonna 43 ( 39 ) DO IT AGAIN The Beach Boys 44 ( 44 ) YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ The Righteous Brothers 45 ( 34 ) IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER Lenny Kravitz 46 ( 32 ) DO YOU WANT ME Salt ‘n’ Pepa 47 ( 53 ) SALTWATER Julian Lennon 48 ( 48 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 49 ( 33 ) A ROLLER-SKATING JAM NAMED “SATURDAYS” De La Soul 50 ( 24 ) JUMP TO THE BEAT Dannii Minogue 51 ( 26 ) HOLDING ON Beverley Craven 52 ( 30 ) APPARENTLY NOTHIN’ Young Disciples 53 ( NEW ) SHE’S A GIRL AND I’M A MAN Lloyd Cole 54 ( 49 ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 55 ( 50 ) WHEN HE’S GONE The Bee Gees 56 ( 62 ) YOU BELONG IN ROCK ‘N’ ROLL Tin Machine featuring David Bowie 57 ( 56 ) WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER (1990 TK REMIX) Timmy Thomas 58 ( 74 ) GUARANTEED Level 42 59 ( 46 ) I WANNA SEX YOU UP Color Me Badd 60 ( 59 ) DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Elton John 61 ( 57 ) RESCUE ME Madonna 62 ( 61 ) (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU/ MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING Carpenters 63 ( NEW ) LONG HOT SUMMER NIGHTS J.T.

September 7, 20213 yr Love the top 10 at the moment DJ Jazy Jeff, Martika, Jesus Loves You, T-Rex, The Shamen, Cathy Dennis and Bomb Ada Bass all quality!
September 9, 20213 yr Good to see you back posting John! Loving Bomb The Bass topping your chart - it was on Top of the Pops on BBC4 last Friday and I had to turn it up. Absolutely love it! The video is really cute too. Lots of classics in the T10 as well as Bomb The Bass: including DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, The Shamen, Cathy Dennis and PM Dawn. Interesting to see “Insanity” debut at 71, it was a slow burner on the official chart with its first week (at joint number 21) seeing 60% of its sales from the Liverpool/Lancashire area before it slowly blew up around the rest of the country. You just don't get regional breakout hits like that anymore..

Thanks Doc! :) Glad to be doing oldies charts again too, helps me revisiting happy old music :D I've forgotten that Bomb The Bass video but I adore the record, so good! I'm sure I have it on a VHS tape somewhere! I'm also going to be interested to see how Insanity does as I pretty much had forgotten it till it popped up in the Top 10 of 1991 votes :lol: I guess the regional nature of it's success might explain why it didn't sink into my brain to anywhere near the same degree as most other hits of the time. That said, I'd also completely forgotten Karl Keaton's non-UK-hit and that made my number 2, proving if you don't ever go back and play your records and tapes then you're totally dependant on the media to remind you of stuff :o Thanks for dropping by! B-)
September 16, 20213 yr Author 1st September It's 2 weeks on top for 1973's T.Rex classic, back in the UK charts as 70's nostalgia gets under way. PM Dawn sadly lose out on a chart-topper with the fab Set Adrift up in runners-up and Bryan Adams looked to have peaked at 2, but no he's back up to 3, Ricky Nelson gets his only top 10 track with the Gene Pitney song and this recording over 30 years old. Straight in at 8 is the 3rd single from Sugar Tax, the OMD album still hot on my playlist after their gig in Bournemouth. Then You Turn Away makes it 3 top 10's in a row, a consistency not seen since 1984. Julian Lennon vaults high up into the top 20, Saltwater becoming his 2nd biggest-track since Too Late For Goodbyes went top 10 in 1984, and Billy Bragg enters at 19 with best record by some distance, the excellent You Woke Up My Neighbourhood. He had even better songs, but it took covers to do them justice. Kylie keeps the top 40 consistency coming at 3 years, and Maxi Priest helps Shabba Ranks get a top 40 - Shabba usually needed someone to assist getting into my charts. The future Mark Wahlberg movie star, and brother of New Kid On The Blocker, raps his way to a hit - Good Vibrations not the Beach Boys classic. At 53, Utah Saints debut with a classic, What Can You Do For Me, while Sabrina Johnson brings Peace to the valleys, both memorable dance tracks. Unlike the other forgotten new entries, Airhead, Julia Fordham and Big Country all having fallen out of my brain as it got full with more recent stuff. Need more RAM. Still, that means Big Country make it 8 years of charting, or 12 years including The Skids hits for Stuart Adamson. 1 ( 1 ) 20th CENTURY BOY T.Rex 2 ( 4 ) SET ADRIFT ON MEMORY BLISS PM Dawn 3 ( 13 ) EVERYTHING I DO (I DO IT FOR YOU) Bryan Adams 4 ( 3 ) WINTER IN JULY Bomb The Bass 5 ( 2 ) LOVE’S BURN Karl Keaton 6 ( 8 ) MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN The Shamen 7 ( 9 ) LOVE THY WILL BE DONE Martika 8 ( NEW ) THEN YOU TURN AWAY Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 9 ( 5 ) GENERATIONS OF LOVE Jesus Loves You 10 ( 11 ) HELLO MARYLOU Ricky Nelson 11 ( 12 ) SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY (REMIX) Zoe 12 ( 16 ) LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX Salt ‘n’ Pepa 13 ( 6 ) CRUCIFIED Army Of Lovers 14 ( 7 ) JUST ANOTHER DREAM Cathy Dennis 15 ( 47 ) SALTWATER Julian Lennon 16 ( 10 ) SUMMERTIME DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 17 ( 17 ) BE YOUNG BE FOOLISH BE HAPPY Sonia 18 ( 14 ) RIDERS OF THE STORM The Doors 19 ( NEW ) YOU WOKE UP MY NEIGHBOURHOOD Billy Bragg 20 ( 15 ) PANDORA’S BOX Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 21 ( 26 ) SOMETIMES IT’S A BITCH Stevie Nicks 22 ( 22 ) NEAR WILD HEAVEN REM 23 ( 29 ) ALWAYS THERE Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown 24 ( 18 ) LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING Cher 25 ( 37 ) BROKEN ARROW Rod Stewart 26 ( 23 ) SAFE FROM HARM Massive Attack featuring Shara Nelson 27 ( 33 ) THE BIG L Roxette 28 ( 19 ) HAPPY TOGETHER Jason Donovan 29 ( 20 ) COLD COLD HEART Midge Ure 30 ( 31 ) ALL 4 LOVE Color Me Badd 31 ( 28 ) JEALOUSY Pet Shop Boys 32 ( 24 ) YOU COULD BE MINE Guns ‘n’ Roses 33 ( 27 ) NOW THAT WE’VE FOUND LOVE Heavy D & The Boyz 34 ( 34 ) HEY STOOPID Alice Cooper 35 ( 40 ) GET OFF Prince & The New Power Generation 36 ( 25 ) MONSTERS AND ANGELS Voice Of The Beehive 37 ( 21 ) MORE THAN WORDS Extreme 38 ( 66 ) WORD IS OUT Kylie Minogue 39 ( 39 ) GET IT ON Yo Yo Honey 40 ( 70 ) HOUSECALL Shabba Ranks featuring Maxi Priest 41 ( 44 ) YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ The Righteous Brothers 42 ( 42 ) HOLIDAY Madonna 43 ( 53 ) SHE’S A GIRL AND I’M A MAN Lloyd Cole 44 ( NEW ) GOOD VIBRATIONS Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch 45 ( 36 ) HARD TO HANDLE The Black Crowes 46 ( 45 ) IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER Lenny Kravitz 47 ( 48 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 48 ( 43 ) DO IT AGAIN The Beach Boys 49 ( 71 ) INSANITY Oceanic 50 ( 65 ) STAND BY LOVE Simple Minds 51 ( 30 ) ROMANTIC Karyn White 52 ( 38 ) TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS Scritti Politti featuring Sweetie Irie 53 ( NEW ) WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME Utah Saints 54 ( 35 ) THE BEGINNING Seal 55 ( 55 ) WHEN HE’S GONE The Bee Gees 56 ( 41 ) UNFORGETTABLE Natalie Cole & Nat ‘King’ Cole 57 ( 57 ) WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER (1990 TK REMIX) Timmy Thomas 58 ( 60 ) DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Elton John 59 ( 32 ) FAMILY AFFAIR B.E.F. featuring Lalah Hathaway 60 ( NEW ) PEACE Sabrina Johnson 61 ( NEW ) FUNNY HOW Airhead 62 ( 54 ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 63 ( 62 ) (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU/ MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING Carpenters 64 ( 64 ) WHAT WOULD WE DO DSK 65 ( 61 ) RESCUE ME Madonna 66 ( 68 ) LET IT BE The Beatles 67 ( 74 ) WHY BELIEVE IN YOU Texas 68 ( 69 ) TOUCH ME (ALL NIGHT LONG) Cathy Dennis 69 ( NEW ) I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU Julia Fordham 70 ( 46 ) DO YOU WANT ME Salt ‘n’ Pepa 71 ( NEW ) REPUBLICAN PARTY REPTILE Big Country 72 ( 56 ) YOU BELONG IN ROCK ‘N’ ROLL Tin Machine featuring David Bowie 73 ( 73 ) LIES EMF 74 ( 59 ) I WANNA SEX YOU UP Color Me Badd 75 ( 50 ) JUMP TO THE BEAT Dannii Minogue Playlist Oldies 1 SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD Elton John 2 TELL ME WHAT HE SAID Helen Shapiro 3 “Sugar Tax” Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
October 2, 20213 yr Author 8th September 1991 It's 3 weeks for T.Rex on top as Bryan Adams returns to his peak of 2, while still on top of the UK charts, and OMD get a second top 3 of the year, just ahead of Julian Lennon hitting a new career peak of 4 with Saltwater. Highest new entry is....Bros. Yes, that's right, Try, a minor UK hit, straight in at 7 as a sort of follow-up to Madly In Love, I was liking the slightly earthier funkier Bros. By was of compensation Billy Bragg gets a first (and last) top 10 with his Country-ish singalong. New at 14, Saint Etienne cover Neil Young and do Only Love Can Break Your Heart justice, while Electronic bounce instantly back with Feel Every Beat at 18, and Belinda Carlisle debuts a great single from her new album - Live Your Life Be Free is in at 19, for a big week for new entries. Sabrina Johnson rockets Peace through the chart valleys to 23, Beats International keep the run going with The Sun Don't Shine at 29, Norman Cooke still having another pseudonym or 2 before settling on Fat Boy Slim. Celine Dion also debuts, yes I know, and it's not even a big hit - Where Does My Heart Beat Now doing what her Eurovision winner didn't do, enter my chart. Level 42 are Guaranteed a chart entry at 47, Runrig have a Hearthammer, and Fat Boy Glitter is back with Ready To Rock ahead of the annual Xmas gigs. Dire Straits are Calling Elvis, but sadly getting no answer, Oleta Adams covers Elton John's still-charting re-issue of his non-charting 1974 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, both of them overshadowed by the later live version with George Michael assisting Elton. 1 ( 1 ) 20th CENTURY BOY T.Rex 2 ( 3 ) EVERYTHING I DO (I DO IT FOR YOU) Bryan Adams 3 ( 8 ) THEN YOU TURN AWAY Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 4 ( 15 ) SALTWATER Julian Lennon 5 ( 2 ) SET ADRIFT ON MEMORY BLISS PM Dawn 6 ( 6 ) MOVE ANY MOUNTAIN The Shamen 7 ( NEW ) TRY Bros 8 ( 4 ) WINTER IN JULY Bomb The Bass 9 ( 7 ) LOVE THY WILL BE DONE Martika 10 ( 19 ) YOU WOKE UP MY NEIGHBOURHOOD Billy Bragg 11 ( 12 ) LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX Salt ‘n’ Pepa 12 ( 11 ) SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY (REMIX) Zoe 13 ( 5 ) LOVE’S BURN Karl Keaton 14 ( NEW ) ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART Saint Etienne 15 ( 25 ) BROKEN ARROW Rod Stewart 16 ( 17 ) BE YOUNG BE FOOLISH BE HAPPY Sonia 17 ( 9 ) GENERATIONS OF LOVE Jesus Loves You 18 ( NEW ) FEEL EVERY BEAT Electronic 19 ( NEW ) LIVE YOUR LIFE BE FREE Belinda Carlisle 20 ( 14 ) JUST ANOTHER DREAM Cathy Dennis 21 ( 13 ) CRUCIFIED Army Of Lovers 22 ( 16 ) SUMMERTIME DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince 23 ( 60 ) PEACE Sabrina Johnson 24 ( 27 ) THE BIG L Roxette 25 ( 10 ) HELLO MARYLOU Ricky Nelson 26 ( 18 ) RIDERS OF THE STORM The Doors 27 ( 20 ) PANDORA’S BOX Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 28 ( 40 ) HOUSECALL Shabba Ranks featuring Maxi Priest 29 ( NEW ) THE SUN DON’T SHINE Beats International 30 ( 35 ) GET OFF Prince & The New Power Generation 31 ( 23 ) ALWAYS THERE Incognito featuring Jocelyn Brown 32 ( 21 ) SOMETIMES IT’S A BITCH Stevie Nicks 33 ( 44 ) GOOD VIBRATIONS Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch 34 ( 26 ) SAFE FROM HARM Massive Attack featuring Shara Nelson 35 ( 28 ) HAPPY TOGETHER Jason Donovan 36 ( 38 ) WORD IS OUT Kylie Minogue 37 ( 31 ) JEALOUSY Pet Shop Boys 38 ( NEW ) WHERE DOES MY HEART BEAT NOW Celine Dion 39 ( 49 ) INSANITY Oceanic 40 ( 24 ) LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING Cher 41 ( 50 ) STAND BY LOVE Simple Minds 42 ( 41 ) YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVIN’ FEELIN’ The Righteous Brothers 43 ( 42 ) HOLIDAY Madonna 44 ( 53 ) WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME Utah Saints 45 ( 22 ) NEAR WILD HEAVEN REM 46 ( 34 ) HEY STOOPID Alice Cooper 47 ( NEW ) GUARANTEED Level 42 48 ( 29 ) COLD COLD HEART Midge Ure 49 ( 47 ) HEY JUDE The Beatles 50 ( 33 ) NOW THAT WE’VE FOUND LOVE Heavy D & The Boyz 51 ( NEW ) HEARTHAMMER Runrig 52 ( 39 ) GET IT ON Yo Yo Honey 53 ( 30 ) ALL 4 LOVE Color Me Badd 54 ( 58 ) DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Elton John 55 ( 55 ) WHEN HE’S GONE The Bee Gees 56 ( 48 ) DO IT AGAIN The Beach Boys 57 ( 36 ) MONSTERS AND ANGELS Voice Of The Beehive 58 ( 46 ) IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER Lenny Kravitz 59 ( 57 ) WHY CAN’T WE LIVE TOGETHER (1990 TK REMIX) Timmy Thomas 60 ( 73 ) LIES EMF 61 ( 32 ) YOU COULD BE MINE Guns ‘n’ Roses 62 ( NEW ) READY TO ROCK Gary Glitter 63 ( 37 ) MORE THAN WORDS Extreme 64 ( 61 ) FUNNY HOW Airhead 65 ( 63 ) (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU/ MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING Carpenters 66 ( 66 ) LET IT BE The Beatles 67 ( 62 ) CROCKETT’S THEME Jan Hammer 68 ( NEW ) CALLING ELVIS Dire Straits 69 ( 56 ) UNFORGETTABLE Natalie Cole & Nat ‘King’ Cole 70 ( 45 ) HARD TO HANDLE The Black Crowes 71 ( 65 ) RESCUE ME Madonna 72 ( NEW ) DON’T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME Oleta Adams 73 ( 43 ) SHE’S A GIRL AND I’M A MAN Lloyd Cole 74 ( NEW ) MAKIN’ HAPPY Crystal Waters 75 ( 68 ) TOUCH ME (ALL NIGHT LONG) Cathy Dennis Retro oldies Playlist 1 MAGIC FLY Space 2 HUMAN Human League 3 THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL Abba
