June 19Jun 19 Author To note- there is no TOTP episode for the last chart I posted as it was NYE when the show would have gone out (if made).
June 19Jun 19 I have distinct memories of reading the entertainment section of the newspaper and seeing this Christmas chart. I can recall Westlife at #1 but mainly S Club 7 and Steps placing, as they were my favourites at the time.This was back before I knew I could check the British charts on the internet and had to rely on the weekly entertainment newspaper.
June 19Jun 19 What a fabulous week for new releases, and Double A-side overload!S Club 7 and Steps both brought the bops but I admit 10 year old me was living for the Cuban Boys (and I even went to Woolys to purchase Mr Hankey) The less said about the top 3 the better… although I didn’t actually mind Westlife’s effort.
June 19Jun 19 Sorry not sorry for loving:Westlife - I have A DreamS Club 7 - You’re My Number 1Steps - Say You’ll Be Mine & Better The Devil You KnowPoptastic!
June 20Jun 20 Seeing the Christmas 1999 episode again last night was a delight - if slightly out of character to be seeing it in June whilst there's a heatwave on 🤣I remember getting my first telly that Christmas and also Now 44 (my first Now) so it's instinctively made me dig my copy out for a spin today ☺️Honestly been such a delight to see my favourite pop year all again.That Chart Massacre week before the Christmas chart that year was insane. Poor Thunderbugs and also B*Witched, it sent both into a tail spin they never recovered from.I naturally was backing S Club for Christmas number one that year and in my own personal chart they were by a country mile. That said, I do have a fond place in my heart for the Cuban Boys 🤣
