February 7, 20223 yr Hazard is dark and brilliant, Roxette is fab, Salt n Pepa a goodie, and Hammer fun. While I usually like Bryan Adams, Please Forgive me was turgid. Pent-up demand for a headline new single after selling a million, I expect. One of his worst records.
February 7, 20223 yr ^I don't think it's true, Please Forgive Me is a good ballad, typical Bryan Adams, he was never gonna learn new tricks,
February 7, 20223 yr Glad to see Hazard featuring, I really was obsessed with that back in 92 for a while. Still think it’s a very unique pop song with the story that it tells
February 7, 20223 yr ^I don't think it's true, Please Forgive Me is a good ballad, typical Bryan Adams, he was never gonna learn new tricks, Also it wasn't the follow-up to the biggie. Can't Stop This Thing We Started reached No.12 whilst his big one was still at No.1!
February 7, 20223 yr Also it wasn't the follow-up to the biggie. Can't Stop This Thing We Started reached No.12 whilst his big one was still at No.1! Yes, but that was during the run at number one, and that and the album was overshadowed by the monster hit. Quick in and out the charts while The Monster stayed at 1. I meant a suitable gap later after one million people (like me) had bought The Monster and it came out as lead to a hits album. Looked like it was intended to be another huge ballad, whereas CSTTWS was a a straight-forward rocker, and not necessarily going to be bought by the same people buying Everything I Do....
February 7, 20223 yr ^I don't think it's true, Please Forgive Me is a good ballad, typical Bryan Adams, he was never gonna learn new tricks, I really liked Heaven, but that was only a minor UK hit (till it was danced up) - his (middling and minor) hit singles were generally not ballads till Robin Hood - and then this one.
February 8, 20223 yr between Everything I do and Please forgive me, he also had Thought I'd die and gone to Heaven which was pretty big and Do I have to say the words as final single from WUTN he basically had 2 kind of songs, the ballads like Everything I do, Please forgive me... and the rockier tracks like Can't stop this thing we started his flops before Everything I Do were also a mix of ballads and uptempo rock songs
February 8, 20223 yr Love Roxette but think 'It Must Have Been Love'is one of their dullets - miles prefer 'Listen to Your Heart' for their ballads. 'Hazard' was gorgeous and a real grower. Preferred the previous hit 'Do You Want Me' (the Ben Liebrand mix) to 'Let's Talk About Sex'
February 9, 20223 yr Author 27 - Chaka Demus & Pliers - Tease Me ixZjoc_jlmQ 13th best seller of 1993 Chart Run 13-6-6-4-3-4-4-4-4-7-10-16-19-32-58 The great reggae revival of 1993 has already given us Snow's Informer but this was even more persistent. Really liked the number 4 slot. Gabrielle's Dreams and a song further up this chart stood in the way of supremacy.
February 9, 20223 yr Would be interesting to see how many songs potentially miss out on being included here due to having sales split across years - can’t imagine it will be many Oh and I always hated Tease Me!
February 9, 20223 yr Author 26 - Corona - The Rhythm Of The Night U5dWFrN2LwY 13th best seller of 1994 Chart Run 9-5-2-2-3-6-11-14-21-25-39-55-67-69-71 Humongous Eurodance anthem by person barely able to speak enough English to sing the song. Absolute cracker. Stuck behind the much inferior Saturday Night (boooo!) Edited February 9, 20223 yr by Colm
February 9, 20223 yr Author Would be interesting to see how many songs potentially miss out on being included here due to having sales split across years - can’t imagine it will be many Oh and I always hated Tease Me! There will be a section on that later. When I get around to doing the maths :D
February 9, 20223 yr Author We're now at the half way point.

February 9, 20223 yr Author The surprise for me was that Bryan Adams song doing so well. I also kinda expected It Must To Have Been Love to be a lot higher.
February 9, 20223 yr Corona definitely >>>>> Whigfield. The Rhythm of the Night will always remind me of going on the Waltzer and the Speedway at those travelling fairgrounds, one used to come a few times a year near my school and they always used to play eurodance like Corona
February 10, 20223 yr Author 25 - Toni Braxton - Un-Break My Heart p2Rch6WvPJE 13th best seller of 1996 Chart Run 4-5-5-4-5-4-3-2-4-2-4-8-13-15-23-33-33-55-72 Packing in 11 weeks in the top 5 (the most of any song in this chart) is this languid and sumptuous ballad from Toni which would have been 10 places higher in this rundown if it had sold all its units (770,000) in 1996 instead of them being split into 1997 too. It had to settle for second place behind Knocking on Heaven's Door by Dunblane and then behind Spice Girls' 2 Become 1.
February 12, 20223 yr Author 24 - Boyzone - Father and Son PqBEi2vfxAs 13th best seller of 1995 8-4-5-3-2-3-2-2-3-6-16-23-28-37-39-56 This cover, from the mega-selling era of late 1995 when there were multiple future-million-sellers in the top 5 for in most weeks. Michael Jackson's Earthsong stopped this from reaching the top.
February 12, 20223 yr Corona was fab, Tease Me fun, Toni Braxton better in the dance version than the sludgey version, and Boyzone are no Cat Stevens. And it's not one of my fave Cat Stevens records either :lol:
February 12, 20223 yr Author 23 - Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone Lgs9QUtWc3M 12th best seller of 1999 4-3-2-2-2-5-8-12-15-17-23-29-37-42-58-72 Famously stuck at number 2 behind 3 different number ones but outselling them all by the end of 1999.
