September 14, 20213 yr Author NO 154- 11 POINTS Three Lions 98 Baddiel/ Skinner/ Lightning Seeds (Voter: Jade) #1 for 3 weeks in June/July 1998 It’s the less popular “3 lions” for sure. She's The One Robbie Williams (Voter: Last Dreamer) #1 for 1 week in November 1999 Two down and 1 to go for Robbie!
September 14, 20213 yr Author NO 153- 12 POINTS Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle) Outhere Brothers (voter: Jimwatts- 12 points) #1 for 1 week in April 1995 The second Outhere Brothers track leaves us
September 14, 20213 yr Don't Stop now that was certainly the WAP of the 90s, albeit not half as clever lyrically.
September 14, 20213 yr I always find it confusing how significantly different the two versions of Don’t Stop (Wiggle Wiggle) are. She’s The One is nice enough.
September 14, 20213 yr She's the One is nice indeed, would have voted for if if allowed more songs. All 4 singles from Robbie's album 2 were pretty good.
September 14, 20213 yr How the hell Robson and Jerome made number one for 7 weeks with that I’ll never know! It was double AA single with well-known "Unchained Melody". :)
September 14, 20213 yr Ah silly me forgetting that, not that their version was good but it’s one that the public would buy into as Cowell no doubt knew.
September 15, 20213 yr Unchained melody Righteous Brothers a big loss - I googled 90's on my all time list and just picked out the number ones - and forgot that was down as 1965 oops! Ah well, it would have been a bit higher on the list.... Quite like the Boyzone Drum track, 3 Lions 98, and most of the others are "novelty" :P
September 15, 20213 yr Author NO 149- 13 POINTS Healing Hands Elton John (Voter: Popchartfreak- 6 points, Gezza- 7 points)- #1 for 5 weeks in June/July 1990 Three down and 2 to go for Elton with this being the least preferred side of the double A-Side. I Wanna Sex You Up Color Me Badd (Voter: Hide&Seek- 6 points, Ready For It- 7 points)- #1 for 3 weeks in June 1991 Seems we don’t all want to be sexed up- whatever that entails All Around The World Oasis (Voter: Riser)- #1 for 1 week in January 1998 Oasis’ least popular No 1- they have three other offerings though. I Have A Dream Westlife (Voter: Last Dreamer)- #1 for 3 weeks in December 1999 Westlife lose a 4th No 1 leaving them with only 1 track left in the running.
September 15, 20213 yr ‘All Around The World’ my favourite from this bunch, def a song which has grown overtime into one of the bands favourites!
September 15, 20213 yr I would have voted for All Around The World if I had more points to give but although I like it, I don’t think it’s one of their absolute best and I didn’t want to blindly vote on fanbase lines.
September 15, 20213 yr All Around the World is one of their worst singles for me, it’s way too overblown and goes on for far too long with very little substance. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard Healing Hands :o
September 15, 20213 yr I love Oasis, but All Around the World is a stinker. Tries to be anthemic and epic, Hey Jude style with it's length but it's so repetitive and empty and clearly stretched out for the sake of it, the fact Noel hates most of that album now says it all!
September 16, 20213 yr ...well, AATW is my fave of Oasis' 90s #1s :P Surprised but glad to have rescued it from 0 points!
September 16, 20213 yr I like the Oasis song, nothing that some judicious editing couldn't help improve it a bit more, :teresa: Elton is fabulous. Both healing hands and Sacrifice flopped in the UK in 1989, but topped my charts because it's Elton at his 80's best, gospel and ballad. Sacrifice hogged all the airplay in 1990 of course, but both are great and I feel justified in supporting Elton when he couldn't sell a fig cos I'm not fickle like the latest-trend-chasing music biz is :P Sacrifice back yet again, of course, as we speak... I still like Sex You Up, and I'm not apologising for it... :lol: I Have A Dream. If only Another Brick In The Wall had debuted pre-Xmas 1999 instead of pre-Xmas 1979 - Abba would have topped the chart and Westlife wouldn't :teresa:
September 16, 20213 yr Author NO 146- 14 POINTS Turtle Power Partners In Kryme (Voter: JackJones) #1 for 4 weeks in July/ August 1990 Film tie for the Kids craze of 1990! End Of The Road Boyz II Men (Voter: Vibe- 11 points, Popchartfreak- 1 point, Chrissmith276- 2 points)- #1 for 3 weeks in October/November 1992 Our first exit that attracted three voters! And another film tie in. Doop Doop (Voter: Jason- 4 points, AH Gold- 9 points, Dan::G- 1 point)- #1 for 3 weeks in March/April 1994 Another novelty hit leaves the rate but again found favour with three voters!
