I actually remember this rundown, summer of 1996 was indeed a the era for top-draw chart dance tracks!

personally that chart is pretty crap! ok space were ok but thats about it... i DETEST the fugees total destruction of roberta flacks classic 'killing me softly with his song' :angry:

02 - 01 - 01 - Fugees - KILLING ME SOFTLY :) didn't mind this

03 - 02 - 02 - Baddiel and Skinner and the Lightning Seeds - THREE LIONS :D who hasn't screamed this out at one time or another?

03 - 03 - 03 - Peter Andre Featuring Bubbler Ranx - MYSTERIOUS GIRL :) Hmmm, passable pop

1 - NEW - 04 - Ocean Colour Scene - THE DAY WE CAUGHT THE TRAIN :D one of their best

1 - NEW - 05 - Livin' Joy - DON'T STOP MOVIN' :D not usually a dance fan, but I like this

1 - NEW - 06 - Pianoman - BLURRED :( pointless version of Blur's Girls And Boys, if I remember correctly

1 - NEW - 07 - Adam Clayton And Larry Mullen - THEME FROM MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE :( who wants to buy a new version of an old theme tune

03 - 08 - 08 - Celine Dion - BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME :D beautiful ballad, from the unfairly maligned Ms Dion

07 - 06 - 09 - Tony Rich Project - NOBODY KNOWS :D another beautiful ballad

02 - 05 - 10 - Louise - NAKED :) meh, it's ok pop

02 - 07 - 11 - Robert Miles - FABLE :) not bad, but not a patch on Children, which this was the follow-up to

05 - 09 - 12 - JX - THERE'S NOTHING I WON'T DO :D another decent dance track

11 - 04 - 13 - Gina G - OOH AAH... JUST A LITTLE BIT :puke2: awful pop from our Aussie Eurovision entry

02 - 15 - 14 - Space - FEMALE OF THE SPECIES :wub: most of Space's singles were pretty good

07 - 10 - 15 - George Michael - FASTLOVE :) didn't like it at the time, but it's ok now

1 - NEW - 16 - Rod Stewart And Scots Euro 96 Squad - PURPLE HEATHER :huh: don't remember it

1 - NEW - 17 - Primal Scream, Irvine Welsh And On-U-Sound - THE BIG MAN AND THE SCREAM TEAM MEET BARMY ARMY UPTOWN :huh: don't remember this either..

1 - NEW - 18 - Happy Clappers - CAN'T HELP IT :huh: ...or this :P

03 - 19 - 19 - Lighthouse Family - OCEAN DRIVE :D most people would probably say MOR crap, but I like it

14 - 11 - 20 - Mark Morrison - RETURN OF THE MACK :puke2: hate this with avengence

03 - 02 - 02 - Baddiel and Skinner and the Lightning Seeds - THREE LIONS :D who hasn't screamed this out at one time or another?

 

I haven't screamed it out at all. Mind you, I am Scottish.

Purple Heather for you to scream out then? :P

the professionalism of Mark Goodier compared to the likes of Fearne & Reggie is gigantic. They should take notes really. The format needs to go back to how it was too

I'd like to see (or at least hear!) that too. Almost certain it'll never happen :(

Good chart, the $h!te official Scottish Euro 96 song at 16 and the excellent unofficial one at 17 - still one of the best ever Primal Scream songs.

 

It's the only good song in a pile of poo.

Completely agree, the chart show is just a complete and utter mess these days, i've given up

listening to it.
