thanks for this!!

thanks for this!!

 

No problem :) I got the impression nobody read it last week, I was thinking of giving up...

If this was the real chart, loads of songs would be doing so much better! :(

True, but loads of songs would be doing much worse. I'd like to have KOL - Use Somebody in the top 20, and Tom Jones' newie in the top 40!

No retro chart yet? :lol:

Sorry, i'll try to sort one out for later this week. How's this week in 1998 sound?

1998 = best year of the '90s musically! Yes, please! :cheer:

Fantastic year I agree. But I seem to remember the radio being quite MOR and Corrs-heavy back then. Nothing against the Corrs, but there is a limit :)

Madonna, Massive Attack, Air, & Garbage defined 1998 for me. :heart: :heart: Times when Electronic acts could be hugely successful! B)

True, there was some amazing aritsts back then, and Sash! was in his heyday too :wub:

oooh, I do like the odd Garbage track :D

50 14 BOYZONE No Matter What

 

Steps' Heartbeat/Tragedy was the highest sales new entry at number 2 this week, but at this point only Heartbeat was picking up airplay, and not much... Pretty good top 10 though.

 

The retros are Work In Progress at the moment so I'm afraid I can't provide peaks and chart runs, but if anyone's interested, I could post this week in 2003 (or maybe even 1993 if you're very nice) later in the week. Songs with asterisks are pre-releases at this point in time. Just had a quick retro sesh and checked out some of the more forgotten songs in this chart - Pras' Blue Angels is a fantastic Grease-sampling hip hop track, and Doolally - Straight From The Heart is like Shanks & Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate but better. Not so keen on E17 - Each Time or Shamrock - Tell Me Ma (like Rednex meets B*Witched in a dark alley :puke2:) though! Feel free to post your opinions and memories, or make any requests and I'll do what I can. Cheers!

 

Sex On The Beach by T-Spoon :naughty: ;)

Sex On The Beach by T-Spoon :naughty: ;)

 

I loved that actually... :wub:

An abundant amount of great tracks in 1998.

 

Good ol' Karen Ramirez debuting at #22. Class track - better than Looking For Love in my opinion!

 

You wouldn't see the likes of Culture Club, Beautiful South, or Savage Garden so high on the chart today. :(

Yeah, good track, though I always liked Troubled Girl. Beautiful South and Culture Club did incredibly on airplay - much better than on sales, and Savge Garden were radio staples too.
