Colm & I are very proud to release the 3 disc Britpop+ collection. Enjoy!

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th September 1995 Cast - Alright Chart entry this week & Peak: 13 s6F61PpPxYQ The second single from the All Change album, this is another great Indie track from Cast. Garbage - Only Happens When It Rains Chart entry this week & Peak: 29 5_SmlaRrZHs TOTP debut from the wonderful Garbage. Shame this didn't peak higher, but its a great taste of what's to come from them. Menswear - Stardust Chart entry this week & Peak: 16 LrGKesNts5k Their second hit, inferior to their other singles imo, but still decent. Sleeper - What Do I Do Now? Chart entry this week & Peak: 14 K9S-VZAxGQQ Sleeper proving that they were an overlooked Britpop band - they deserved the plaudits that the bigger (male) bands got imo. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds feat. Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow Chart entry this week & Peak: 11 5-O7UZgxGIU A bit of a dark turn from Kylie here. Still not sure if I like it?! Radiohead - Lucky Chart entry this week & Peak: 51 9FhjYvfJhSE Taken from the chart topping Help! album and released as part of Warchild Help EP, it is criminal how low this peaked. Its endearing quality has shone through as it was included on the best album of all time, OK Computer.

Sorted for E’s and Whizz is better known I would say, but I agree they haven’t had the cultural impact Common People has.

What!!! Pulp so close to number 1, I never knew if they were close or not. Curses to Simply Red.

Amazing final 2, but Stan just edges it for me.

I just can’t like Fairground - I’ve tried but it’s just so bland. It also has full quiet verses then sudden loud shouty choruses which grates on me.

Wow so close for Shaggy! Love Boombastic. Great new entries for Mariah and Janet, too.

Romeo out :(

Coming soon

This gives me Beach House vibes - love it.

Great top 3, but Little Boots to go.

Chains is marvellous - what a great mid-90s power ballad :dub:

I’ve been voting for Katy to go since the start of this one!

Daysleeper is superb, so atmospheric. Glad a couple of us like it at least.

Another great year and thread, thanks Gezza!

Good to see a third great track from Wet Wet Wet in a row. Got their debut album at a charity shop the other day!

The song is tainted for me (but that is my opinion!).

Wonderful number 1, well deserved victory over the awful number 2.

So much awfulness in those 2 charts! I am shook at how close Blur came to a 3 week chart topper though argh!

Hello Tim, try what Michael suggests above. The post is probably in the pop forum.

Criticize is a really good song, not usually my sort of thing but it’s ace!
