N-Trance never made #4
November 6, 200717 yr Author no it isnt.... it isnt the exact chart for this day but the chart for early november so whats the prob? actually id suggest the chart i posted was MORE accurate, as it credits (correctly) featured artists, and it spells dario g's hit correctly! :P
November 6, 200717 yr My faves are Embrace All you good good people Stereophonics traffic Texas put your arms around me :wub: Natalie Imbruglia torn
November 6, 200717 yr Looking through this list, it's highlighted (once again), just how $h!te a taste in music I have. I actually enjoyed Barbie Girl, Tubthumping, Spice Up Your Life, Do You Think I'm Sexy and Men In Black. Although I draw the line at 911. Faves; Natalie Imbrulglia, Aqua, Sash!, Chumbawamba, Eternal, Dario G, Embrace, Moby, Brand New Heavies and Backstreet Boys. But my personal No.1. has to be Texas; Sharlene's vocals were gorgeous on "Put Your Amrs Around Me".

November 7, 200717 yr no it isnt.... it isnt the exact chart for this day but the chart for early november so whats the prob? actually id suggest the chart i posted was MORE accurate, as it credits (correctly) featured artists, and it spells dario g's hit correctly! :Pactually, a composite chart such as yours is probably better for any era from 1996 to 2004 anyway rather than any specific weekly chart as the main chart consisted of high new entries and fast fallers - this chart shows a better picture of what was doing well in the time frame. in fact, in early November 1997 there was an article in Music Week about the perilous state of the singles chart re: its speed and turnover and how to reduce the churn. One idea put forward was to have a composite chart that reflected how songs had done over a longer time frame than a week - this chart reflects that idea!
November 8, 200717 yr Awful chart. :rofl: Probally the point in one jokes started to take over the industry. : 2 Natalie Imbruglia .....................Torn 3 The Spice Girls ........................Spice Up Your Life 8 LL Cool J ................................Phenomenon 38 Will Smith ..........................Men In Black
November 9, 200717 yr 36 Natural Born Chillers............ Rock The Funky Beat CHOON!!! Damn straight...and along with RIP Groove and maybe Beck the only tunes I'd listen to out of that chart. I do recall 1997 - 1999 being the worst time ever for music though so it doesn't surprise me.
November 9, 200717 yr Author Damn straight...and along with RIP Groove and maybe Beck the only tunes I'd listen to out of that chart. I do recall 1997 - 1999 being the worst time ever for music though so it doesn't surprise me. far from it m8, the worst times were 74-6, 88-92.
November 11, 200717 yr Nah, we've been through this before. 74 - 76 perhaps, but 88-92 was absolutely full of great songs (but as I said last time I was 11-15 during that time). 97-99 featured an onslaught of terrible cutesy pop dominated by Steps and the Spice Girls, a massive onslaught of $h!tty Ibiza 'anthems' and the closest we got to indie rock was Travis, the Stereophonics, The Verve* and every other band who'd made it in the post-Britpop label rush) * - Yes, I know they're pre-Britpop, but everything after their reformation smacks of 'let's sell this to Oasis fans'. :D
November 11, 200717 yr Author Nah, we've been through this before. 74 - 76 perhaps, but 88-92 was absolutely full of great songs (but as I said last time I was 11-15 during that time). but thats the point.... when you are that age anything sounds good! 88-92 was DIRE, dominated by s.a.w. and i never took to the madchester scene either as imho it was very much second rate to the indie acts ten years earlier. the late 90's were mixed, there were some good pop in there and dance was at its best. this is an old topic, and tbh you are the only one who has ever stuck up for 88-92! us what had lived through punk saw the late 80's as nothing but utter rubbish.
November 11, 200717 yr Well, fair enough, but I never said anything about SAW - which had died completely by 1990 anyway. I was more into the more intelligent pop acts such as Adamski, The KLF etc. Also I loved the indie of the time, vastly superior to what followed even if it didn't match the cream of what had gone before...and I mean the cream, I'm perfectly aware of stacks of poor 80s indie bands...there's a reason only the best are remembered, same with the 88-92 time. Also, dance between 88 and 92 with the arrival of acid house and initial rave definitely beats the commercial trash of the late 90s. I'm confident those who had lived through early dance music would see the late 90's as nothing but utter rubbish ;) Even the acts championed at the time such as the Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Leftfield and Norman Cook had done their best work way before 1997.
