Je ne sais pas pourquoi :wub:

 

Kylie's french accent is amazing btw

nothing in that chart to interest me much... some tracks are ok... liked 'orinoco flow' at the time but not now.

 

the best imho was kim wilde 'never trust a stranger'...

Twist In My Sobriety is an excellent song, but 1988 was a bad year for me and I don't have many fond memories of much of the music and the charts from that year, and this chart seems to be one of the worst of the lot! That said, I bought that Milli Vanilli song, on 12"!

 

Acid Man by Jolly Roger was banned by the BBC and never got played on the top 40 countdown, or at least I can't remember hearing it get played.

 

4 (18) Need You Tonight - INXS...ok track

7 (4) Girl You Know It’s True – Milli Vanilli............. :puke2: :puke2: :puke2:

9 (6) She Makes My Day – Robert Palmer

10 (10) Real Gone Kid – Deacon Blue...quite liked this

14 (12) Let’s Stick Together – Bryan Ferry....re-release from 1976

15 (7) Kiss – Art Of Noise ft Tom Jones

20 (14) A Little Respect - Erasure

21 (37) Handle With Care – Travelling Wilburys

25 (21) Don’t Worry Be Happy – Bobby McFerrin :lol: :lol: :lol

 

 

a poor chart all in all

 

4 (18) Need You Tonight - INXS...ok track

 

saw that on girls aloud perfect pop records countdown the other day, actually alright but not as good as the italio-punk-funk dance of i'm so crazy (just keep walking)
