      The only other time I got kicked out was also music related. I was caught miming to hymns in assembly (as wasn't in the mood to sing that day)! Made to stand outside the hall, the shame.

      I do really like 'Goodbye', but unfortunately it was used at a friend's funeral in 2018 and I haven't really been able to listen to it since as it's too much to bear. 'It's Like That' is a banger tho

    'Viva Forever' is my fave Spice Girls track. It's such a mysterious and wonderful ballad. A much deserved runner up and would be top 2 for me as well.

    'Believe' is another one that is a euphoric as ever though. Like you was spamming it pretty hard when out like the nation. Was a really great era for her in sound too.

    Thanks for taking on 1998 Rich, it was a joy to follow and I loved your little snapshots into your memories from the time and how they formed your love of music and the charts <3

    Cher was my preferred #1 from the top 3 so I'm glad it won out, it was so huge at the time that it's difficult to deny what a great pop song it was. It would rank highly for me too, I'd have them something like this:

    1. Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix)

    2. Madonna - Frozen

    3. Cher - Believe

    4. Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next

    6. Various Artists - Perfect Day

    7. Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins - It's Like That

    8. Spice Girls - Viva Forever

    9. The Tamperer feat. Maya - Feel It

    10. Robbie Williams - Millennium

    11. Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds - 3 Lions '98

    12. Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground

    13. Spacedust - Gym and Tonic (it is definitely a cheap cover, but I do like the Bob Sinclar original and this is basically a note for note version)

    14. Aqua - Turn Back Time

    15. B*Witched - C'est La Vie

    16. All Saints - Bootie Call

    17. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

    18. Spice Girls - Too Much

    19. Boyzone - No Matter What

    20. Chef - Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)

    22. Usher - You Make Me Wanna

    23. Aqua - Doctor Jones

    24. Spice Girls - Goodbye

    25. B*Witched - To You I Belong

    26. B*Witched - Rollercoaster

    27. Billie - Girlfriend

    28. Boyzone - All That I Need

    29. Oasis - All Around The World

    Bit late to this, but what a stacked Top 4. Believe, Viva Forever, Never Ever, Frozen, incredible quartet of songs. 'Believe' an absolute classic.
