Posted January 8, 20232 yr Yes it's back, the title says it all, a thread designed to "best guess" the sales week by week for 1994. We'll count down all the sounds of the year and hopefully generate a few "almost forgotten gems" along the way. As always thanks go to MFR, Vas tariner, Youtube, Wikipedia, MW, popscene, James Masterton, Discogs, and a few other sources who have helped over the years. Here's the links to to the 90s threads if this isn't your year! 1990 1991 1992 1993 In doing this I've tried to take into account TOTP performances and other factors which may have effected sales and chart positions throughout the decade. The Internet can't tell me everything so I'm relying on the Buzzjack oldies to throw in some pertinent facts that I may be unaware of (I was only 13 when the decade began) and to discuss the tracks. The format will be the same every week with TOTP performances where available for those songs new to the top 10. So sit back and enjoy every top 10 hit of the 90s (eventually) because Love was really all around in
January 8, 20232 yr 1994 is by far my favourite year for albums. There were classics being released several times a month and 3 albums released in August were pivotal moments in 90s music and changed the direction of their genre for many years to come, decades, some would say. Singles-wise it was fine too and I look forward to this greatly.
January 8, 20232 yr Hyped for this! Just looked up which albums were released this year and the list of great ones is pretty long... *.*

January 8, 20232 yr For me: Blur - Parklife Pulp - His N Hers Portishead - Dummy Oasis - Definitely Maybe Legit still all in my albums top 10 ever. Dog Man Star The Holy Bible Under the Pink Legin still in my top 4 albums ever. ^_^ Dummy, Grace and Definitely Maybe were the pivotal albums that I alluded to earlier.

January 9, 20232 yr I think it just has all that was great about the 90s. Blur, Oasis, Suede and the Manics all released their big statement - inarguably. Electronic music moved into an albums medium.
January 9, 20232 yr I’d happily add The Cross if Changes, dubnobasswithmyheadman, Ill Communication, Amber, CrazySexyCool, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, 76:14 and Live Through This
