October 10, 20222 yr My favourite Enya single and one of the best of 1995, such a beautiful song. The chorus is magic, as is the final minute or so 'I might be near...the end!'
October 12, 20222 yr Author 22- Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby WXnR7iZy0ZM 55th best seller of 1992 Chart Run 57-41-37-19-13-6-8-12-17-32-42-47-43-60-67 Not to be confused with the Ronettes' song of the same name and in the same genre. It was the 11th best selling song of 1992 in Belgium. It was co-written by Lenny Kravitz who knew how to do retro. It didn't outsell any number 1s in 1992.
October 12, 20222 yr Author 21- Roy Orbison - I Drove All Night m5N9IHqqGcA 54th best seller of 1992 Chart Run 26-15-11-8-7-9-12-21-31-50 Another song from 1992. Roy recorded this in 1987 but was not released until 1992. It was a hit in the interim for Cyndi Lauper. Both reached number 7 in the weekly charts but Orbison's version finished 23 places higher in the end of year charts. This is great. I'd not really listened to it since 1992. His voice is not forced, even for the long notes and there are lots of them. It didn't outsell any number 1s from 1992.

October 12, 20222 yr Absolutely LOVE Roy’s version of I Drove All Night. Uplifting, euphoric track and his voice is so smooth on it.
October 12, 20222 yr Fairly sure of what the 1 song from 1999 and 3 from 1998 will be, also the 1 from 1996. Could probably guess some of the 4 from 1997 but can't remember all of what's already come up, and feel like I should be able to deduce the 1 from 1994 but haven't yet - before that, I have less of a clue since I didn't follow the charts at the time.
October 12, 20222 yr I'm not surprised 1997 has the most remaining. I'd guess they are all from the incredibly high sales climate of Q4 that year.
October 12, 20222 yr Author You might think so. But the latest release date of any of the 4 was 30th August 1997.
October 12, 20222 yr I assume that the biggest #8 song of the 90s is still to come and I think that was early 97
October 12, 20222 yr That Utah Saint track is great and I'll always remember the chart (and the subsequent Top of the Pops) when I was just a kid when it entered. That chart had Prodigy's 'Charly', Oceanic's 'Insanity' and this entering. To have these 3 very different, futuristic rave tracks enter that same week really shook the charts up! Even Zoe's new entry that week was notable as it was popular at festivals due to the remix. Very exciting times. Edited October 12, 20222 yr by Smint
October 12, 20222 yr My favourite Enya single and one of the best of 1995, such a beautiful song. The chorus is magic, as is the final minute or so 'I might be near...the end!' I agree with every word of that - I never really loved Enya tracks and even though this was probably her most catchiest/most repetitive it had a magical, trance like quality.

I assume that the biggest #8 song of the 90s is still to come and I think that was early 97 Think I know the 4 left from 1997 now. I already had that #8 in mind, but there was another #8 in mid-1997 which hasn't come up yet, then a song which charted at a similar time to Mo Money Mo Problems. The one Colm mentioned above wasn't on my radar but seems obvious now I think of it.
October 13, 20222 yr I'm just basing it how they did in the weekly charts - I can only recall the EOY top 40s for these years (well may have seen the 1996 & 1999 top 100s a long time ago, but can't remember much about them).
