wasn't expecting Time to say Goodbye to be Pop's 30 pointer, was expecting something more Pet Shop Boys-esque :D

 

That normally would be an entirely reasonable assumption :lol:

Whitney at her best, she learned how to interpret a song and feel it instead of show off her range.

 

Londonbeat a good track and i have a lot of love for jimmy helms and his 70s solo career that petered out. Whats up is a goodie and i got given a copy the corrs talk on corners around about this time when they did the radio 1 roadshow at Bournemouth Pier. I was backstage with a work colleague talking to shelly nelsons mum and jim corr: "its not what you know its who you know" :lol:

Londonbeat is defining 90s dance for me and the Whitney track is unreal, beautiful gospel song!

I've Been Thinking About You is the first of my top 10 to exit.

Not yet lost anything in the top 50 - cue me losing 2 big ones tomorrow :P

 

'HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA' would probably be in my top 60 or so as well though.

NO 42- 117 PTS

A US No 1 and tribute to Elvis (“Black Velvet” was allegedly the colour of his hair dye).

With some of the most misheard lyrics of the 90s this does enough to be Mack’s favourite 90sNo 2!

 

The 3rd of my bottom 10 falling out. I was expecting 'Black Velvet' for a while tbh.

I haven't lost anything in ages :o just checked and I still have 23 of my votes in, nice one BuzzJack *.*

I'm making steady progress up the chart. :)

My love has got no money, he's got his trampolines :music: Freed From Desire's been a bit butchered by football chants, but still a banger x

 

Pleased to still be in the top 5 after my biggest vote loss to date x (18)

Freed from Desire is glorious! Still can’t remember what my 30 pointer was hahah

Ahh back in the top 10 (for now!)

Black Velvet is ok but Freed from Desire has never been one of my faves. -_-

 

Number 2 in the voters chart, my top 13 is still intact. :o :w00t:

Quite the contrast is entries there with Gala and Alana Myles - a real modern song and a throwback to the 80s!

Thought I might have climbed higher up the table with not voting for any of that 10. Not a bunch of songs that I'm overly fond of, Freed From Desire and What's Up probably the only ones that might have got close to my votes that I'd choose to listen to.

I love Black velvet, surprised I didn't give it more votes, she was a proper one-hit wonder I believe

 

 

Freed From Desire is a fcuking classic,
