October 16, 2024Oct 16 I’m totally raging at Colm for not voting :lol: I am also raging at me for not voting. Fingers and Thumbs is their best single.
October 17, 2024Oct 17 Out of that top 20 I'd kick Lay all your love on me, I Love Saturday, stay with me, Who needs love like that and You Surround me None deserve top 20 imho
October 17, 2024Oct 17 Author YEAR: 1992 PEAK POSITION: 8 VOTER: Gezza- 30pts, Bjork- 20pts, Dandy*- 19pts, JulianT- 14pts, Jimwatts- 13pts, Padamic Tension- 13pts, AH Gold- 10pts, Mango- 9pts, Jester- 6pts Remixed from the album version (probably as it was a fourth single) it still went top 10.

October 17, 2024Oct 17 Author YEAR: 1995 PEAK POSITION: 15 VOTER: AHGold- 28pts, Popchartfreak- 24pts, Jimwatts- 20pts, Gezza- 14pts, Bjork- 14pts, Dandy*- 12pts, Chartjack2- 9pts, JulianT- 8pts, King Rollo- 6pts, Jester- 2pts Leading an album with a ballad is always a challenging prospect especially for an act more renowned for the HI-NRG tunes but that’s what the boys did in 1995 and it saw them fall short of the big top 10 for the first time since their debut with a lead single.

October 17, 2024Oct 17 Breath of Life is another fave, nice choice of top pointer ^_^ Surprised that Stay With Me made it this high. I like it but I assumed that most people didn’t as it performed pretty badly in the charts and doesn’t seem well remembered
October 17, 2024Oct 17 'Breath Of Life' is a great song and fully deserving of its top 20 place. I think I gave points to the entire top 20 bar 'I Love Saturday' and 'Stay With Me'.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 I dont understand Stay With Me being higher than Fingers and Thumbs. Breath of Life was slightly improved on the single mix. Love it.
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Author YEAR: 1989 PEAK POSITION: 15 VOTER: Dandy*- 24pts, Gezza- 24pts, Mango- 21pts, Chartjack2- 21pts, Popchartfreak- 16pts, King Rollo- 9pts, Jester- 9pts, Padamic Tension- 8pts, Jimwatts- 6pts A slightly disappointing result for the final 80s Erasure single which got lost somewhat in the festive rush that year. B-side “Supernature” was something of a dance hit remixed by relatively unknown William Orbit. rLqKiqaS-DU IelUGQtqPwg
October 19, 2024Oct 19 Author YEAR: 1994 PEAK POSITION: 20 VOTER: Jimwatts- 24pts, JulianT- 21pts, Popchartfreak- 21pts, AHGold- 19pts, Chartjack2- 19pts, Gezza- 17pts, Padamic Tension- 9pts, Dandy*- 6pts, Jester- 3pts Quite why it took 5 months between single 2 and 3 from “I Say I Say I Say” is a mystery but it’s fair to say the era was over before it was released in reality. Having missed the top 10 in the festive charts of 1989 and 1991 (their last two attempts at a Christmas big hit) I don’t why they thought this might do the trick even though it was technically an EP (perhaps trying to replicate the EP of 1988?). The promo was shot in Bell’s Majorcan villa. wmwPh6MHpcU lQdbGIFTBUI
October 19, 2024Oct 19 You Surround Me is wonderful, I particularly love the way it builds and the breakdown in the middle
October 20, 2024Oct 20 I have a weird relationship with 'I Love Saturday', in that I kind of enjoy it but it kind of annoys me at the same time.
