Yesterday at 14:371 day Author 16. Robson Green & Jerome Flynn – I Believe4 weeks at number 1, November/December AA side with aboveThis is…… almost ok as a cover. Good job, uncredited vocalists!
Yesterday at 14:541 day I knew a person, who had both (Robson and Jerome and "Wonderwall") on the top of her personal chart.
12 hours ago12 hr The least-bad of the covers, but plus side Carole King and Gerry Goffin get a well-deserved number one with a total classic song and original version from The Drifters. I believe is less essential as it already was a UK number one song, but even I was too young to remember that though the song was still famous in the 60's.

6 hours ago6 hr Author 15. Outhere Brothers – Don’t Stop (Wiggle Wiggle)1 week at number 1, AprilThey were a duo from Chicago which combined rap with dance. Not as well known in the USA as the UK oddly. This was everywhere before it was released and the 'wiggle wiggle' shoutback gave it the edge it needed to hit the top spot. I can’t deny that this is catchy, but I find the vocals very strained (especially on the live TOTP reruns) and the whole wiggle wiggle bit makes me feel oddly annoyed. I can see the appeal but I just don’t like it.
6 hours ago6 hr Author 14. Cher, Chrissie Hynde, Neneh Cherry & Eric Clapton – Love Can Build A Bridge1 week at number 1, MarchFor the talent on display here for 1995’s Comic Relief single and for Neneh Cherry’s only UK number 1, my god this is DULL. What a wasted opportunity.

Both are terrible but one less terrible.I was only joking, "Unchained Melody" was a double A-Side which is what I'm referring to, but I wouldn't want you to give the other side a listen or promo of ranking it 😁Hard to argue with anything that has gone so far- all varying degrees of awful!

I never knew that!!I am going to conveniently ignore that then to avoid a R&J bottom 4 l
5 hours ago5 hr Love Can Build a Bridge is very mid. I don't hate it but it's definitely a bit too close to charity record by numbers territory.I never liked that Outhere Brothers track, although I didn't really try to like it because my Aunt had read that it contained very inappropriate lyrics and was immediately on a quest to make sure none of the family was being subjected to it... I didn't like what I'd heard enough to rebel against that
4 hours ago4 hr I can't argue with this order. I really didn't like Don't Stop at all.Love Can Build A Bridge is fine but, as is often the way with superstar collaborations, way less than the sum of its parts. What a naff song to be Neneh's only UK No.1.
2 hours ago2 hr 'Don't Stop' is certainly no 'Boom Boom Boom'I can't even recall how 'Love Can Build a Bridge' goes, even though I have heard it several times.
