September 4, 2025Sep 4 Oh I absolutely loved Hazard at the time and it still holds really good memories now for me, I'd forgotten that it was still to come so it was a really nice surprise to see it that high. Just Another Day is a total surprise for me though, I'd never have picked it as your choice if I'd have seen the list in advance so it's nice to be surprised. I've just listened and I like it more now than I did back then, it's a strong song.Overall there's lots to love from 1992 here, I think my list would be like this but tbh it's very close between all of the top 4 and they could easily be in a different order tomorrow:01 Hazard02 Sleeping Satellite03 Ebenezer Goode04 On A Ragga Tip05 Just Another Day06 These Are The Days Of Our Lives07 It’s My Life08 The Best Things In Life Are Free09 Deeply Dippy10 Baker Street
September 4, 2025Sep 4 Unless we count 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which would be top by miles, 'On A Ragga Tip' is my favourite of these. Impressive for 'Just Another Day' to sell that many as a #5 hit around this time.2 hours ago, Colm said:Can we just skip 1993?😭Feel much the same, it's a disappointing selection from the year I got into pop music, but there will be 3 songs I really like and a clear favourite for me.
September 5, 2025Sep 5 3 number ones for me in 1993 11-20, another great track for 4 in total, 3 more i like, one where one of the tracks is a banger, and two which are extremely dull, snoozefest.
September 5, 2025Sep 5 I've just taken a peak at the 11-20 songs for 1993 and have to concur with Colm that there is a LOT of dross in there. I bought 3 of them but wouldn't listen to any of them now, there's only two in there that I'd rate these days with my favourite being quite far ahead of the other.

March 15Mar 15 Author 7 - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Boom! Shake The RoomJesus this is awful16th best seller of the yearColm's score 4.2 Edited March 16Mar 16 by Colm
March 15Mar 15 Author 6 - Snow - InformerBlessed relief. A song that doesn't make me want to rip my ears off.But it's all relative, I'm not a huge fan of this either.17th best seller of the yearColm's score 5.5 Edited March 16Mar 16 by Colm
March 15Mar 15 Author 5 - Take That - BabeThis is ok. Nowhere near their best.14th best seller of the yearColm's score 6.5 Edited March 16Mar 16 by Colm
March 15Mar 15 'Young At Heart' is nostalgic for me as it was on the radio a lot in the 90s because of the rerelease. In a 1984 chart original release context it sounds like they were one of those bands who thought they were trying to be less commercial by not using synthesizers.The reggae songs to me are summery and pretty good.I am reminded how much Peter Andre copied the verse melody of 'Sweat A La Long'. 'Tease Me' is more of a dance track production-wise. 'Informer' is catchy!The Take That track is boring. Edited March 15Mar 15 by TheSnake
March 16Mar 16 Oops I like all of these except Take That. I love old reggae, and the 90's revival was welcome to those of us of a certain age with fond memories of when it was new and exciting in the 60's and 70's :) Snow my least fave of the rest, but adore Bluebells and rate Boom!
March 16Mar 16 I like “Young At Heart” a lot, but otherwise not too fussed about those that have been revealed.
March 16Mar 16 Author 4 - Freddie Mercury - Living On My OwnBack then this would probably have topped the list but it's quite underwhelming now. Actually, everything in this list is underwhelming. 20th best seller of the yearColm's score 7.0
March 16Mar 16 Author 3 - Take That - PrayThis has stood up quite well. 18th best seller of the yearColm's score 7.2
March 16Mar 16 Informer is by far my favourite so far, I actually like that more now than I did back then. Pray would be next best and Boom! after that as it is at least a bit fun. The rest I couldn’t care less about.
