It’s quite the earworm :(

The Communards is a well classic number 1 :wub: I also love Holiday Rap - so bad it’s good!! Cutting Crew is also marvellous.

I’d love Wham to do it! Anything but the Pogues though :arrr:

1. Oasis - The Masterplan 2. Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other 3. Romy - Mid Air 4. Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor's Version) 5. Kylie Minogue - Tension 6.

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.

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!

And she’s oddly enough now in the 1986 thread!

I loved What’s The Colour Of Money back in the day - quite the earworm.

Were Robson and Jerome singing live on TOTP then? I’d heard that their singing was ‘enhanced’ in the studio.

Rat In The iamspamspamami:kink:

Your Loving Arms is a dance classic :wub:

Robson and Jerome were awful - but I’m saving my wrath for next week :kink:

Surrender Your Love - what a great follow up and my favourite Nightcrawlers single. Yes is of course superb.

Edge of Heaven and Hunting High and Low massively improving the top 10!

So with the 25th annniversary release of Oasis’s 1998 number 2 B side album The Masterplan at number 1 in the mids, what are your favourite tracks? Mine are: 1. The Masterplan 2. Acquiesce 3. Rockin’ Chair 4. Talk Tonight 5. Half The World Away So many of these should have been singles or on albums!

Nothing of note in that top 10 :(

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 6th & 13th May 1995 Adina Howard - Freak Like Me Chart entry this week: 33 Peak: 33 fdyUqqRfUMk You know, a Tubeway Army sample would go really well with this! Weezer - Buddy Holly Chart entry this week: 12 Peak: 12 kemivUKb4f4 I think this is the cleverest video ever and a cracking song as well! Montell Jordan - This Is How We Do It Chart entry this week: 11 Peak: 11 D-6fUG1LLQY I was sure this American number 1 was a top 10 hit! Sounds massive. Shed Seven - Where Have You Been Tonight Chart entry this week: 23 Peak: 23 s0vvJ1qlaqw Indie Britpop debut alert! Not one of their best known songs to be fair, but still decent.

Here's the ad that used the song. Called Anticipation - it really bugs me that I never see him drink :lol: 3MuEtGPXLPI

I know all the words to The Chicken Song and Snooker Loopy haha :kink:

I despise that Scatman song! Awful. Never realised the closeness of Dreamer and Some might Say! Both are the 2 best number 1s of 1995 imo so glad they both made it and that they repped the 2 best genres of the year - Britpop and Dance. Interestingly, Dreamer was the only number 1 of the year not featured in the Xmas special review of the year. Also, good to read why so many songs entered straight at the top from now, due to distribution. Finally :wub: at The Changingman and Supergrass’ debut with Lenny.

1.Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor's Version) 2. Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other 3. Romy - Mid Air 4. Kylie Minogue - Tension 5. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Council Skies 6.

I just want to celebrate how utterly amazing most of this top 10 is: 1- BACK FOR GOOD- Take That (140,000) :wub: :sub: 2- DON’T STOP (WIGGLE WIGGLE)- Outhere Brothers (71,000) 3- TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME- Bobby Brown (62,000) :wub: 4- HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN- Bryan Adams (40,000) 5- BABY BABY- Corona (38,000) :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: 6- U SURE DO- Strike (34,000) :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: 7- CHAINS- Tina Arena (30,000) :cheeseblock: 8- IF YOU LOVE ME- Brownstone (27,000) :cheeseblock: 9- NOT OVER YET- Grace (26,000) :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: 10- I NEED YOU- Deuce (19,000) This really was the peak for 95 dance! Chains and If You Love Me are classic 90s powerhouse American ballads, Back For Good is TT's 90s best and Two Can Play At That Game really benefits from the Todd Terry touch! On the Deuce debate, Call It Love is really decent, I Need You much less so.
