The (Axwell remix of the) original Ivan Gough/Feenixpawl/Georgi Kay version of 'In My Mind' was a BJSC hit as well, Dynoro's version is ok but much prefer that version.

This only got to number 53 in 1987 but a remix by Pete Waterman and Pete Hammond took the song to number 5 the following year. Desireless is the French singer, Claudie Fritsch-Mentrop. She has gone on to release eleven albums.

Top points - Jason 24, chrissmith276 22, JulianT 21

 

From France, we go to Italy and the 2021 Eurovision winners with what is so far their highest peaking single.

 

I heard a clip of 'Voyage Voyage' in a video for the first time last year and immediately had to check it out, a gorgeous synth song.

 

Had a timely reminder of 'All My Life' at the #1 Albums session the other day *.* that is one of their best songs for me. I'd agree that the Madcon version of 'Beggin' is the best, never really took to Måneskin's cover that much, however I much preferred 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' from their two top 10 hits - the brief rock invasion in the chart in 2021 was fun.

43. Planet Funk - Chase The Sun 206pts

 

Writers - Marco Baroni, Domenico "GG" Canu, Sergio Della Monica, Simon Duffy, Alex Neri

Top points - perrobueno 24, Mack 23, Torple 23, Daan 23

 

We stay in Italy with the electronic band Planet Funk. The melody for Chase The Sun is taken from Ennio Morricone's tune 'Alla Luce Del Giorno' from the score of the 1969 film 'Metti, Una Sera A Cena'. The song is used by Sky Sports for their coverage of darts. It is played in the auditorium during the advert breaks of Sky-owned tournaments and has developed a cult following amongst darts fans, who tend to rave and chant during the breaks which might explain why Mack gave it 23 points.

41. Annie Lennox - Why 212pts

 

Writer - Annie Lennox

Top points - marcinjaro 24, Torple 24, dandy* 19

 

We now have a second Scottish act in a row with Annie Lennox's first solo single. It was the first of four top 10 hits for her from 1992 to 1995. It wins a tie-break over Black Eyed Boy by 21 votes to 18.

 

Texas deserved way more such a great sing along !!
Planet Funk was one I discovered from the Radio 1 One Hit Wonders marathon iirc, a tune. Also gave a few points to 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE', I do generally prefer their Italian language songs but that is still a banger too.
All My Life is much too low! Lower than that Fall Out Boy mess rlly? -_-

Ohhhhh oh, oh oh ohhhhh oh, oh oh ohhhhh oh, oh oh oh (boo to Chez Chez!)

:D, Could be, there is even a 3 hour version of darts fans doing this. 'Chase The Sun' is an incredible tune.

I lost a lot of my high scorers before we even got much into the 40s - haven't been fussed about many of these most recent losses though. I gave In My Mind a few points but in reality was voting for the Gino D'Agostino original, which I love

Edited by rio309

love the Planet Funk, Texas and Shania ones

'Black Eyed Boy' is my favourite ever #5 hit, it was my 30 pointer in the original voting for this :wub: gorgeous melody, gorgeous vocal, just a gorgeous song all round.

 

Massive soft spot also for 'Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)', particularly the single mix.

 

Overall a really good selection of dropouts here!

From 1994, this was the last of Madonna's record run of 35 consecutive top 10 hits. Her next single, Take A Bow, only got to number 16. Secret was the lead single from her 'Bedtime Stories' album.
