October 25, 20222 yr Author NO 73- 55 POINTS Free As A Bird The Beatles (Voters: Julian T- 19pts, Popchartfreak- 27 pts, Jade- 9pts) (#2 for 1 week in December 1995 behind “Earth Song” by Michael Jackson) Another song that was touted as a chart topper (and a potential festive chart topper at that) but fell short of putting the boys ahead of Elvis as the act with the most No 1’s in chart history.

October 25, 20222 yr Doh! I lost The Beatles as a biggie, but it did well really! yay Jade & Julian! :cheer: It only peaked at 2, I think, because EMI insisted on releasing the single AFTER the Anthology album had maximised sales from airplay for the single. Normal 90's practice would be to go for a high new entry week 1 and then plug the album. I'm convinced that cost single sales, boo!
October 25, 20222 yr Unpopular opinion but I prefer 'Vindaloo' to 'Three Lions' :kink: didn't vote for it though. Relieved I've not lost anything else since Bon Jovi was out.
October 25, 20222 yr I think Richard III was actually one of the last songs I had to junk from my votes and i'm surprised it got this far tbh as I didn't think it was that well remembered, I wasn't aware of it until a couple of years ago but it sounds fantastic and would have made a great if forgotten #1. Vindaloo is simply iconic. :cheeseblock: Free As A Bird is nice but i'm not that fussed about it, I wouldn't call it a Beatles classic. It would have been nice if they had got the #1 though, especially against friggin Earth Song.
October 25, 20222 yr Just looked over my votes and I think my 9 pointer is most likely to be something that only I voted for, but we'll see. ...so that one in question was 'Free As A Bird'! I knew The Beatles had big fans on here but wasn't sure how the 90s singles fared. Glad John and Julian (not Lennon!!) appreciate it too :heart:
