October 1, 20231 yr Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing DJ Sakin & Friends - Protect Your Mind (Braveheart) William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix) Cuban Boys - Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia :cheeseblock: please Paul Johnson - Get Get Down
October 1, 20231 yr Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia is crying out to be a Jamelia slot tbh :teresa: (I was tempted to include it myself as well xx)
October 1, 20231 yr Possibly - we haven’t decided what will be next but I’m sure the sessions will continue. Other options include #2 albums and Now! albums. we already did most of the NOW albums a while back (I think we only went as far back as NOW 40 mind) I was thinking of another idea as well: that we nominate historical top 10 hits in a similar fashion to the #3-5 bonus nominations for the current sessions going by chart position chronologically (starting from #3s) as it would be a bit much to attempt to play every single top 10 hit in history and we get to skip a lot of the filler/crap that way - for the very early years those of us unfamiliar with most of the songs can trust Julian/Rollo/Suedey to pick the cream of the crop I've now produced text lists of every UK top 10 hit now in this forum (with thanks to of Rollo for historical #4/5/6s) for easy reference if so
October 1, 20231 yr The room is now open playing those alternative versions I mentioned - main event starting just after 4pm: https://sync-tube.de/room/AMErJanu Edited October 1, 20231 yr by jimwatts
October 1, 20231 yr Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia is crying out to be a Jamelia slot tbh :teresa: (I was tempted to include it myself as well xx) you may as well replace Hey Boy Hey Girl with it as that song's already got way more than enough nominations and if I may I will cheekily replace Barber's Adagio For Strings with Get Get Down for that to get to three

October 7, 20231 yr Into the 2000s we go, and in stark contrast to the number of #1s, the year 2000 only had 19 #2s, so we'll breeze through all the way to the first #2 of 2002 tomorrow, taking in 36 in all (three of them being double A sides).
