September 11, 20213 yr I mean I didn't vote for it, but no way does Unchained Melody deserve to be down with some of these horrors! The Millenium Prayer actually getting votes
September 11, 20213 yr My mind boggles how there is a Robson and Jerome track to come (and Mr Blobby, but I’m more on board with that :lol:)
September 12, 20213 yr Author NO 165- 6 POINTS The Most Beautiful Girl In The World Prince (Voter: Garyfeld) #1 for 2 weeks in April 1994 Prince’s only UK Chart topper attracts minimal interest with us. If I let You Go Westlife (Voter: Last Dreamer) #1 for 1 week in August 1999 Third Westlife track out of the rate- two left! NO 164- 7 POINTS Boom Boom Boom Outhere Brothers (Voter: Jason- 7 points) #1 for 4 weeks in July 1995 And following chronologically here are the Outhere Brothers- Combining obscenity with a dance beat- what’s not to like.
September 12, 20213 yr Author NO 162- 8 POINTS Mr Blobby Mr Blobby (Voter: JackJones- 7 points, Jason- 1 point)- #1 for 3 weeks in December 1993 Our first No 1 to get votes from two voters! Also the first song to return to No 1 in a consecutive chart run in 24 years The Real Thing Tony Di Bart (Voter: Jester) #1 for 1 week in May 1994 From bathroom salesman to the top of the charts and then back to obscurity.
September 12, 20213 yr Ahh! So pleased I saved Toni Di Bart from zero points. Such a great understated dance track.
September 12, 20213 yr Love ‘The Most Beautiful Girl’ by Prince one of his best for me and a number one finally so late into his career!
September 12, 20213 yr The horrors of Millennium Prayer, Robson & Jerome and A Different Beat. The fact that Prince's only UK chart topper is a mediocre nothing is one of the great chart anomalies. The Real Thing by Tony DiBart is a great tune though!

September 13, 20213 yr Author NO 161- 9 POINTS White Cliffs of Dover Robson & Jerome (Voter: Last Dreamer) #1 for 7 weeks in May/June/July 1995 So the most popular Robson & Jerome No 1 is this! Who knew!
September 13, 20213 yr Author NO 156- 10 POINTS Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini Bombalurina (Voter: Last Dreamer) #1 for 3 weeks in August/ September 1990 Produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber as a dare from his wife that he couldn’t produce a No 1 with a pop song. Yay him I guess. Smile Song Victoria Wood (Voter: AH Gold) #1 for 1 week in March 1991 It may have been a relative unknown as we went into this but Victoria picked up more points than Hale & Pace. Ain't No Doubt Jimmy Nail (Voter: Mango- 2 points, Popchartfreak- 8 points) #1 for 3 weeks in July/August 1992 “She’s Lying”- ah the summer of 92 I Believe I Can Fly R Kelly (Voter: Hide&Seek) #1 for 3 weeks in April 1997 Rather tainted now by subsequent events but R Kelly still gets some points Bootie Call All Saints (Voter: AaronTM) #1 for 1 week in September 1998 Third exit for the girls- they only have 1 entry left in this!
September 13, 20213 yr An eclectic bunch there! Jimmy Nail and All Saints don’t deserve to be alongside Bombalurina. :arrr:
September 13, 20213 yr Boom Boom Boom Outhere Brothers (Voter: Jason- 7 points, Dan::G- 2 points) #1 for 4 weeks in July 1995 an easy mistake to make, but I gave my 2 points to another boomy #1 :P
September 13, 20213 yr Author an easy mistake to make, but I gave my 2 points to another boomy #1 :P Oops, I'll correct tomorrow apologies
September 13, 20213 yr Glad the Smile Song is deservedly above Hale & Pace. I actually think Bootie Call is a bit underrated as well, not one of their all time best but a decent enough tune and a better #1 than their double A side of bad covers. More horrors though with Robson & Jerome (again), Bombalurina and I Got Shot By The FBI. Leaving aside any 'personal matters' relating to R Kelly, I always drew a line between stuff like Ignition or Bump N Grind and turgid balladry like this. The fact that it kept Blur and Supergrass from #1 was criminal imo.
September 13, 20213 yr How the hell Robson and Jerome made number one for 7 weeks with that I’ll never know!
September 14, 20213 yr Boom Boom obscenity? :lol: It's almost a childish song in comparison to Cardi B's WAP. :D
September 14, 20213 yr Author I speak from an "at the time perspective". Radio played the alternative lyric version and I know my aunt wasn't impressed when she bought it for my then 7 year old cousin when she heard the real version lol
September 14, 20213 yr It wasn't as bad as the first single, I remember the original version of Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle) being really quite risqué for the era!
