October 21, 20222 yr Aw finally lost a second one of my votes - IIRC I only discovered '(Mucho Mambo) Sway' from it being played on plug.dj, but I do remember it being a bit of a staple on there. :music: (Iconic that there was a top 2 of unrelated songs with the word mambo in their title). 'Where Do You Go?' is played on Heart pretty often recently for some reason (I don't think I'd ever heard it before that, it's decent though). I can't say I've noticed the similarity to 'Missing' so many have to listen more closely next time it comes on. 'Barcelona' was not far off my points and I also like 'Hush', and 'Always' is alright if a bit overblown (it's no 'Livin' On A Prayer'). Can leave the rest of the last few batches.
October 21, 20222 yr Author NO 85- 49 POINTS Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Crash Test Dummies (Voter: Julian T- 17pts, Gooddelta- 19pts, Torple- 13pts) (#2 for 1 week in April 1994 behind “The Most Beautiful Girl In The World” by Prince) An unusual song with only one word for a chorus. Gtl6vkuVvzk
October 21, 20222 yr Author NO 84- 49 POINTS Moving On Up M People (Voter: Fiesta- 23pts, Steve201- 8pts, Leonardo- 14pts, Chartjack2- 4pts) (#2 for 1 week in October 1993 behind “Boom Shake The Room” by DJ Jazzie Jeff & Fresh Prince) Their biggest single though of course Heather Small hit No 1 in the 80s. kQz6kbu4tYw
October 21, 20222 yr Author NO 83- 50 POINTS It's My Life Dr Alban (Voter: Fiesta- 20pts, Colm- 1pt, Narcow- 29pts) (#2 for 3 weeks in September/October 1992 behind “Ebeneezer Goode” by The Shamen A euro hit before it became used in a tampon ad and Narcow’s second favourite No 2 of the 90s! 2x9oMZUkziI
October 21, 20222 yr Three songs I like there but couldn’t find room for. Crash Test Dummies in particular is a wonderfully unique chart track
October 21, 20222 yr Boo that’s way too low for Mmm x4. Dr Alban was close to my votes. The M People song is good but it was so heavily rinsed on local radio I can’t get excited about it.
October 21, 20222 yr It's My Life wasn't far out of my votes. Always reminds me of the TV on wheels being brought into the classroom at school to watch some dodgy video trying to dissuade kids from giving in to peer pressure. The Crash Test Dummies track is wonderful <3 Glad it had a couple of other big voters, such a bizarre track to be a big hit, I love the strange lyrics, his low voice and the one-word chorus. Where it gets going in the middle-eight is great too.
October 21, 20222 yr Is Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm the highest charting song to only feature 1 unique letter in its title?
October 21, 20222 yr I can see why Mmm x4 is so divisive, but I'm on the positive side of it. It's certainly got a lot of drama packed into it! The other two are decent tracks too.
October 21, 20222 yr The Shaft song is a banging version of 'Sway' *.* 'It's My Life' wasn't far off my votes.
October 21, 20222 yr Those three are all good quality but didn’t have room for any of them on my list. Dr Alban is probably my favourite of them.
October 21, 20222 yr The M People track for me is a classic 90s track! Wish I had voted for Crash Test Dummies as it’s such a unique hit!
October 22, 20222 yr Author NO 82- 50 POINTS Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee) Crystal Waters (Voters: Waspbre-14pts, Daan-15pts, Dot Mirrorball- 7pts, Mack- 4pts, Narcow- 10pts) (#2 for 1 week in May 1991 behind “The Shoop Shoop song” by Cher) A marmite hit even back in 1991 but it’s found love here. gAl3TYSfSrs
October 22, 20222 yr Author NO 81- 52 POINTS Outside George Michael (Voter: Gezza- 24pts, Chartjack2- 28pts) (#2 For 2 weeks in October/November 1998 behind “Believe” by Cher) First single after THAT incident and his final top 2 single. A midweek chart topper until Cher happened and our favourite GM 90s No 2. gwZAYdHcDtU
October 22, 20222 yr Author NO 80- 52 POINTS Love Spreads Stone Roses (Voter: Rabbitfurcoat- 20pts, Dot Mirrorball- 26pts, Chez Wombat- 6pts) (#2 for 1 week in December 1994 behind “Let Me Be Your Fantasy” by Baby D) The amount of hype surrounding their first single from a second album was immense and this led midweek. ct-qa6SjRZo
October 22, 20222 yr Gypsy Woman was in my points shortlist - great early 90s dance. Outside is fabulous, but so many other classic George Michael tracks to choose from! Never got the hype for Love Spreads.
