August 26, 2024Aug 26 Funnily enough I reviewed Bell And Spurling yesterday - guess they’re now due a play!
August 26, 2024Aug 26 I don't mind this being moved to the International Charts forum, I just put it here because that's where these threads have been for the previous sessions. I suppose everyone should now know it exists so just don't forget it's been moved now xThanks Bray! That makes sense, I didn't mean to be quite that harsh about it. Actually I'm hoping to join some of these although I would only make it for the last hour or so.
August 31, 2024Aug 31 Author So this will be going ahead tomorrow at 4pm, save the link in case the site goes down again xx Queued 2 additional Sabrina Carpenter bonus songs now (joy xo) and I hadn't planned to do any RIP slots last week unless someone suggested one but I suppose we'd better play some Fatman Scoop tomorrow now </3 (shall I just queue 'Be Faithful' or does anyone have a favourite other Scoop song? x)
August 31, 2024Aug 31 “Be Faithful” is a good shout but my all time fave would be his feature on “Lose Control” :heart:

August 31, 2024Aug 31 To avoid repeats, we could always play his one other top 10 hit, It Takes Scoop (not actually heard it myself mind so you can see how that sounds x)
September 1, 2024Sep 1 I’d rather just have Be Faithful again, the other hit wasn’t half as good prayers for Buzzjacks servers this afternoon
September 1, 2024Sep 1 Yeah let’s have Be Faithful - it’s been a while since the #1 sessions tbf. Are we having Sven Sven Sven too?

The Crooklyn Clan) RIP Bell & Spurling - Sven Sven Sven [for Sven-Göran Eriksson] I think I'll put up a thread to vote for our fave #1s shortly and just leave it as open nominations rather than semi-arbitrarily whittling it down to ~10 options, will see how that works x
September 7, 2024Sep 7 Author Continuing tomorrow from 4pm with the next 46 #1s, taking us from May 1962 to mid August 1964. Note it's a shorter session this week as I am going out with my family a little after 7pm so need to wrap up before then - will just be playing 2 hours of #1s plus bonus tracks. I'll play the 2nd most streamed track from 'Definitely Maybe' to mark its return to #1, of course we had 'Live Forever' in the #1 albums sessions already but I did always play additional songs for albums returning to #1 in new runs. There are only 23 eligible bonus #2s this time (compared to 41 last week) but I know way more of them this time so I can nominate myself this week! As before please nominate up to 3 faves from the list x Allan Sherman - Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter From Camp) Andy Williams - Can't Get Used To Losing You The Beatles - Do You Want To Know A Secret The Beatles - Twist And Shout Chubby Checker - Limbo Rock Dee Dee Sharp - Mashed Potato Time Dion - Ruby Baby Elvis Presley - Return To Sender Gene Pitney - Only Love Can Break A Heart The Jaynetts - Sally Go 'Round The Roses Johnny Rivers - Memphis The Kingsmen - Louie Louie Lesley Gore - You Don't Own Me Millie Small - My Boy Lollipop Nat King Cole - Ramblin' Rose The Orlons - The Wah-Watusi Peter, Paul And Mary - Blowin' In The Wind Peter, Paul And Mary - Puff, The Magic Dragon Ray Charles - You Don't Know Me The Ronettes - Be My Baby Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World The Surfaris - Wipe Out The Village Stompers - Washington Square My nominations: The Kingsmen - Louie Louie The Ronettes - Be My Baby The Surfaris - Wipe Out (also I know it won't be to the taste of many who attend but I feel I should queue a RIP slot for Rich Homie Quan - and I've also just seen now that Sérgio Mendes died on the same day so a play for 'Mas Que Nada' as well? Don't think I recognise any other notable musical deaths of the week but open to suggestions for any further RIP slots as ever x) + if anyone hasn't already please do lock in your picks for the best & worst #1s of last week's session x

September 8, 2024Sep 8 I'll try to join for that one specific song. Not nominating yet because I know zero songs from here :lol: I don't think RHQ had many verses here, but I'll nominate Ride Out (from Furious 7) for the RIP slot. Edited September 8, 2024Sep 8 by CowTzy
September 8, 2024Sep 8 The Beatles - Twist And Shout The Kingsmen - Louie Louie The Ronettes - Be My Baby
September 8, 2024Sep 8 Herbie Flowers has died aged 86. He was a member of Blue Mink and, briefly, T Rex as well as Sky. We can probably ignore the fact that he wrote Grandad as it would be more appropriate to use the RIP slot to play what is probably his most famous contribution to music. He played the bassline on Lou Reed's Walk On The Wild Side.
