August 15, 200915 yr indeed a poor chart imho not a time in my life that i was enjoying, so perhaps that put me off records as records = memories. but even now i cant find much to enjoy.... taking the re-releases out theres only felix that i like... 'dont you want me' though is a cracking track. much though i like the shamen, i dont like lsi.
August 15, 200915 yr 1992 was the year I began to be infixed with the The Top 40 - it was the highlight of my childhood almost, so 92 will hold some memories for me.

August 16, 200915 yr UK Top 75 Singles - 15th August 1992 06.(3) Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground 09.(14) Felix - Don't You Want Me 10.(NE) The Smiths - This Charming Man {re-issue} 32.(27) Madness - My Girl {re-issue} 35.(15) Prince And The New Power Generation - Sexy MF/Strollin' 38.(35) DJ Carl Cox - Does It Feel Good To You 46.(32) Sunscreem - Love U More 55.(44) Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth {remix} 60.(41) U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing (Remix) 64.(36) Siouxsie And The Banshees - Face To Face some great songs in there - but not many. Career highlights from Madonna, Madness, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths and U2.... and one of the greatest dance singles ever made, the phenomenal, seminal Felix track... but otherwise, lots of American blandness and screechers.
August 18, 200915 yr Ah, back when I was pretty much obsessed with what was in the charts. How well has it stood the test of time though? 10.(NE) The Smiths - This Charming Man {re-issue} // Ok, even though it was a pretty unnecessary re-release - great record. 15.(8) Smart E's - Sesame's Treet // Em, yeah. I loved rave records, the sillier the better. I still really like this. 19.(NE) The Wedding Present - Boing! // Aha! One of the happy twelve of the year. 27.(NE) Cud - Purple Love Balloon // Not their best, but listenable. 31.(16) Urban Hype - A Trip To Trumpton // See Smart E's - stupidity but good stupidity. 32.(27) Madness - My Girl {re-issue} // I didn't like this at the time and preferred the re-issues of IMBL and HOF - love it now though. 34.(NE) Faith No More - A Small Victory // Great and rather serious record, but they should have released Everything's Ruined second instead of this. 39.(22) Nirvana - Lithium // Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh x 4 - now THAT is a chorus. 46.(32) Sunscreem - Love U More // Decent intelligent dance - opposite of Smart E's and Urban Hype! 47.(38) Acen - Trip II The Moon // Brilliant hardcore rave tune with James Bond samples - still worth a listen now. 48.(40) Humanoid - Stakker Humanoid {re-issue} // A decent updating of the old classic. 55.(44) Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth {remix} // Gotta love Mr Cope 60.(41) U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing (Remix) // Best record they've ever released 65.(48) 2 Bad Mice - Hold It Down // More rave heroes - not as iconic as Bombscare but worth a go. 67.(54) Rofo - Rofo's Theme // This became the Hitman and Her theme tune! Ultra-cheesy but annoyingly catchy 74.(61) Fatima Mansions - 100% // Not as good as Only Losers Take the Bus but good. Normally I would include Shut Up and Dance, but 'The Art of Moving Butts' was an awful single with an equally awful sleeve.
