Shania Twain - From This Moment On (peaked at #9)

 

 

I would have been listening to chart-based radio basically every night in the late 90s, but I don't remember this Shania single at all.

Yeah I vaguely remember that song but I don't think it was a big radio hit.

The Kinks - Till The End Of The Day (peaked at #8)

 

 

 

The Kinks are an amazing band!

OK Kinks there, not their best, not their worst. Any Cole Porter song is worth hearing but go further back than Simply Red for better versions - Ella Fitzgerald springs to mind! Red Dragon was fun, and I Want You is a great record. Savage Garden were great before they blanded out. This one and To The Moon And Back are fab records. Then came Truly, Sadly, Sleeply and it was downhill - though some folk seem to love their ballads.

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 (peaked at #2, only held off the top spot for two weeks by that Buzzjack favourite, Against All Odds by Mariah Carey and Westlife)

 

 

I honestly thought at the time that it was the song that was called Zombie Nation, given how much they sing that phrase, and only realised years later that that was the name of the act.

Such an amazing trance tune Zombie Nation!

I'm very found of Truly, Madly, Deeply tbh, and before they released it To The Moon And Back had flopped and probably no-one would remember it now if not for the success of Truly, Madly, Deeply, which led to subsequent re-releases of both their previous two charting singles. Looking at their charting singles after that point I do remember I Knew I Loved You, and quite liked it, but none of the others singles titles ring a bell just looking at them, but I might have a Savage Garden binge at some point, and I suspect I'd recognise most or all of them if I actually listen to them.

'Affirmation' (the song) is also incredible :wub:

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (peaked at #1 in 1984)

 

 

It's taken 11 days of random Christmas chart positions to finally land on an actual Christmas song.

I'm a huge fan of 'Kernkraft 400' and was very disappointed when I found out that the Mariah/Westlife cover blocked it from #1 :lol: I like Mariah but let's just say that's not her best work.

'Affirmation' (the song) is also incredible :wub:

 

This. I still hear that often and also my mum's play it a lot. That and 'To The Moon and Back' are probably my top 2 Savage Garden tracks. Both upbeat and great. 'I Knew I Loved You' is an underrated slower one of there's too.

 

'Zombie Nation' of course a rave classic :wub:
