1998 RECORDS OF THE YEAR

:cheer: :dance: :thumbup:

 

Vote for your favourite Top20 (or minimum Top10) from the list of 50 Records from 1998.

 

Your First choice (Favourite) song will score 20 pts, 2nd = 19 Pts....down to 20th = 1 point. Please state in your list if you are scoring by position or Points.

 

This list includes the Top20 Biggest selling UK singles of the year* (*There is no Three Lions as that was included in the 1996 Competition) and 30 other Records that best represent the year.

 

Believe me I have included records that I don't personally like & likewise have excluded many of my personal favourites.

 

I will compile the results at the end of the week.

So many great memories from this year :wub:

 

Forgive all the pop and novelty acts :lol: I was very into my pop at that point.

i was proud that so far both my no1s of the year came out as the no1 of the year but hardly anyone seems to be voting eagle eyed cherry...in fact theres no clear leaders having a brief scan thru
  • Author

It is so tight unlike 1997.

 

I have had 25 votes (across two sites) & just 44 points separates the Top10.

 

While the record I thought would run away with 1998 Record Of The Year is languishing in 17th place 74 points off the lead!

1. Spice Girls - Viva Forever

2. Steps - One For Sorrow

3. Natalie Imbruglia - Big Mistake

4. Catatonia - Road Rage

5. Brandy & Monica - The Boy Is Mine

6. Madonna - Frozen

7. Shania Twain - You're Still The One

8. B*Witched - C'est La Vie

9. Spice Girls - Goodbye

18. Areosmith - I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing

19. Boyzone - No Matter What

20. Manics - If You Tolerate This

 

omg that was so hard - i adore every song in my top 20

  • Author

No.1s not included from 1998 are:

 

Spice Girls - Too Much; Oasis - All Around The World; Usher - You Make Me Wanna; Boyzone - All That I Need; Aqua - Turn Back Time; Billie - Because We Want To; All Saints - Bootie Call; Melanie B ft Missy Elliott - I Want You Back; B*Witched - Rollercoaster; Billie - Girlfriend; Spacedust - Gym & Tonic; B*Witched - To You I Belong.

 

While Various - Perfect Day & All Saints - Never Ever were included in 1997 & Skinner, Baddiel & Lightning Seeds - Three Lions was included in the 1996 poll.

 

As I said before I have included the Top20 Best Sellers & 30 other tracks that best represent the year across different genres of music.

 

Without giving the game away - 2 songs that failed to go Top10 are currently in the Play-offs or better places because they are now regarded as classics ahead of many forgotten chartoppers from this year.:lol:
