  1. The best number 1!
  2. A Girl Like You is superb! Only the second CD single I bought in 1995 at the time :P
  3. Nick Berry is awful. Terrible number 1! We are now up to where I started the TOTP reruns on BBC4.

  5. Right In The Night is superb, good to see it finally getting into the top 10. Also a big fan of the U2 song, my favourite of theirs post Joshua Tree.
  6. This :D
  7. Love Can’t Turn Around is fantastic!
  8. Jester posted a post in a topic in Indie, Rock and Alternative
    Yes, the Hymn of the North song was played at the Sheffield show of their UK tour this summer. A new album would be well overdue :D
  9. You need to Ring Ranga Dong for a hollie-day!
  10. It’s quite the earworm :(
  11. The Communards is a well classic number 1 :wub: I also love Holiday Rap - so bad it’s good!! Cutting Crew is also marvellous.
  12. I’d love Wham to do it! Anything but the Pogues though :arrr:

  14. So, Common People is my favourite song of all time and I think the most enduring and iconic song of the 1990s. Beaten by Robson and Jerome is a musical travesty, an example of the a song of the moment being eclipsed by a song of our time! Sigh. I am just about over it. What superb TOTP performances by Pulp though - we are now at the point that I remember watching these the first time round :D These songs from the 3rd June chart are all superb: 2- COMMON PEOPLE- Pulp (75,000) 5- (EVERYBODY’S GOTTA LEARN SOMETIME) I NEED YOUR LOVING- Baby D (41,000) 7- SURRENDER YOUR LOVE- The Nightcrawlers Featuring John Reid (30,000) 8- YES- McAlmont & Butler (28,000) 9- YOUR LOVING ARMS- Billie Ray Martin (26,000) 10- DREAMER- Livin Joy (25,000) You don't get many top 10s that good! As an aside, I loved the fist TOTP album, one of my favourite compilations ever (I have even made a version of it on Spotify). For the 10th June chart, really like Scream, one of the best MJ songs post the Bad era. I have quite the soft spot for Black Grape as well.
  15. Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 3rd & 10th June 1995 Reef - Naked Chart entry this week: 11 Peak: 11 Y4ApT8QLlM4 TOTP debut and their second top 40 hit. Not the most well known of their hits, but I do love a bit of Reef. Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Chart entry this week: 22 Peak: 20 ao7va4PQoEM Stunning second single from The Bends. Although 'live' by satellite, this was oddly mimed?! Dodgy - Staying Out For The Summer '95 Chart entry this week: 19 Peak: 19 EvlsgEvNyeE Another hit on reissue, this is a joyous summer romp. Defiantly not dodgy!

  17. And she’s oddly enough now in the 1986 thread!
  18. I loved What’s The Colour Of Money back in the day - quite the earworm.
  19. Were Robson and Jerome singing live on TOTP then? I’d heard that their singing was ‘enhanced’ in the studio.
  20. Rat In The iamspamspamami:kink:
  21. Your Loving Arms is a dance classic :wub:
  22. Robson and Jerome were awful - but I’m saving my wrath for next week :kink:

  24. Surrender Your Love - what a great follow up and my favourite Nightcrawlers single. Yes is of course superb.
  25. Edge of Heaven and Hunting High and Low massively improving the top 10!
