July 10, 20223 yr Author Join us this afternoon on our journey through 2002 and 2003 Number Ones. If you're a millennial chart freak like me you'll be in heaven. There'll be evergreen songs and also some stupid mistakes in there. I had a dilemma over where to start but I've decided to start at 3:55 sharp and repeat both the posthumous #1s from Aaliyah and George Harrison! https://sync-tube.de/rooms/wvSkTpIQc

July 13, 20223 yr Yeah that certainly is a weaker selection than last week's - 'White Flag' definitely needs its chance after not making the cut last week, I think my other 2 picks would be 'Milkshake' and then either 'The Show' or 'Love Machine' (because either of those are a vast improvement on all the other GA songs we'll be getting in the actual #1 listenthroughs).
July 15, 20223 yr My own picks are IBIATCL and Can't Stand Me Now. I guess we're not treating the Elvis songs which reached #2 on reissue in isolation, so another opportunity to hear Are You Lonesome Tonight, and next week (You're The) Devil In Disguise, has escaped us. Fortunately, we'll be finishing on a high with our chosen #3...
July 17, 20223 yr Author Link here: https://sync-tube.de/rooms/Ht9zVamnct My laptop is being awful again but somehow I’ll get by (with a little help from my friends)
July 18, 20223 yr Apologies that I couldn't make yesterday's session! Just caught up on the list and I ended up hearing 'Toxic' and 'Lola's Theme' IRL over the weekend anyway *.* should be back this week. ^_^
July 18, 20223 yr Oh didnt know we could relisten? My internet died out of the blue towards the end so missed the last bit
July 18, 20223 yr Oh I meant that I had a look over the list of #1s that I would've missed, on the OCC website! Bray told me you guys got up to U2 - 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own'. Hearing 'Toxic' and 'Lola's Theme' was unrelated at a barbecue :lol:
July 18, 20223 yr Author No worries both - there were some greats like Lola’s Theme and Toxic but it definitely had its fair share of stinkers and more! We think the quality is starting to improve from next week. We had a good sets of extras played in the end though: White Flag Milkshake I Believe In A Thing Called Love Hey Ya! Somebody Told Me I’m planning to do a timetable for the rest of the sessions - there’s one week in August I’ll need to skip but may just get done by the end of September!
July 19, 20223 yr I've just prepped the #1s' chart runs for this Sunday, and have to say it's a much better selection than last week. (Even allowing for a couple of obvious contenders for the worst #1s' list :kink: )
July 20, 20222 yr Author As the end is beginning to come into sight I’ve done a proper plan for the remaining sessions. I think we can get it done in 9! 24 July: Early 2005 - Late 2006 31 July: Late 2006 - Early 2009 7 August: Early 2009 - Summer 2010 14 August: sorry need to skip this week 21 August: Summer 2010 - Early 2012 28 August: Early 2012 - Spring 2013 4 September: Spring 2013 - Summer 2014 11 September: Summer 2014 - Late 2016 18 September: Late 2016 - Late 2019 25 September: Late 2019 - Now I believe I can do the August bank holiday but if others can’t we can skip that week and finish at the beginning of October instead!
July 21, 20222 yr Author Number 2 selection for this week: 813 Mario - Let Me Love You 2005 814 Razorlight - Somewhere Else 2005 815 Snoop Dog Feat Justin Timberlake - Signs 2005 816 Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc 2005 817 Coldplay - Speed Of Sound 2005 818 U2 - City Of Blinding Lights 2005 819 Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick 2005 820 Mariah Carey - We Belong Together 2005 821 Daniel Powter - Bad Day 2005 822 Rihanna - Pon De Replay 2005 823 Sean Paul - We Be Burnin 2005 824 Kanye West Feat Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger 2005 825 Robbie Williams - Tripping 2005 826 Oasis - Let There Be Love 2005 827 Westlife Feat Diana Ross - When You Tell Me That You Love Me 2005 828 Chris Brown - Run It 2006 829 Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On 2006 830 Pussycat Dolls Feat Will.I.Am - Beep 2006 831 Embrace - Nature's Law 2006 832 Mary J Blige feat.

July 21, 20222 yr My choices are: When You Were Young (not the Adele song from '25'), Somewhere Else, and Everytime We Touch which I believe is another Bré favourite...
July 21, 20222 yr My two choices rhyme - Gorillaz and Killers. I shall be on holiday for the 21 and 28 August so wouldn't mind if the bank holiday weekend is skipped.
July 22, 20222 yr the best #2 on the list is Corinne Bailey Rae - Put your records on followed by Rihanna-Unfaithful and Gorillaz-Feel Good Inc but probably won't be able to listen this week :/
July 22, 20222 yr Author Any more nominations? By the way it’s probably worth asking again now - would people prefer a later slot on the Sunday like 7-10?
