Two Can Play At That Game and U Sure Do are both classics :wub:

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 25th March and 1st April 1995 Tin Tin Out feat. Espiritu - Always Something There To Remind Me Chart entry this week: 14 Peak: 14 8DAPB9aPoLE Nice little tune, not quite as good as their later 90s output though. Rednex - Old Pop In An Oak Chart entry this week: 12 Peak: 12 _YuJZzuHDf8 Where did you come from, where did you go, old pop in an oak.....! Original content here from Rednex! :lol: Snap feat. Summer - The First, The Last, Eternity (Til The End) Chart entry this week: 20 Peak: 15 duLW9fUVIyo My favourite Snap song, the follow up to the superb Welcome To Tomorrow. Probably in my top 10 dance tracks of 1995, shame this didn't make the top 10.

Was tempted by the 90s releases (Blur especially) but got Troye Sivan instead.

Not heard Forever Is Over since 2009! Surprisingly still decent.

OMG!! :lol:

I am bothered by both! One is more extreme, but that doesn’t make the other right does it? The answer is no, in case you are unsure.

Yay the Pogues are out. Now onto J-Lo.

Ah yes! How could I forget Cher?

There can’t have been many songs from the 90s that sold their millionth copy while at number 1? I Will Always Love You Everything I Do Love Is All Around Think Twice Unchained Melody (Robson and Jerome) Candle In The Wind ???

I always thought Wake Up Boo was a top 5 hit! I certainly is a defining Britpop anthem which I think has become more of a classic than a lot of much bigger hits of the time. Also, The Bomb :wub:

That Outhere Brothers song is awful.

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 11th & 18th March 1995 Radiohead - High and Dry Chart entry this week: 17 Peak: 17 qrEByBfj5Y4 Superb single from The Bends - showing a more acoustic vibe to their sound. Classic. Des'ree - You Gotta Be Chart entry this week: 19 Peak: 14 QNgT7fskt44 Nice little track from Des'ree. Not quite the song with toast and ghosts, but its still a pleasant little tune. The Human League - One Man In My Heart Chart entry this week: 18 Peak: 13 70pJs2bmc5c Follow up to number 6 peaking Tell Me When, The Human League really were having a decent comeback in 1995.

Pogues

I think he deserves a break for a bit first :P

I for one second do not believe they didn’t know what that meant! Fag was a well used insult way before the 90s, I just tired of people excusing this song. Anyway, as you say an other debate but I will call this song out for it nonetheless.

Homophobic Pogues song

Good to see the Over My Shoulder love - thought I was the only one!

I went for the homophobic song. I don’t care - it’s not acceptable however it’s defended.

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 25th February and 4th March 1995 Elastica - Waking Up Chart entry this week: 13 Peak: 13 dG52UcyUx2Y The last single and last hit from Elastica. Personally my favourite (even if it ripped off The Stranglers!).Damon Alban 'performed' on keyboards on TOTP! A wonderful slice of Britpop. Blur - Jubilee Chart entry this week: Album track Peak: Album track gQrvSCXjMhA One of the best album tracks from Parklife. Featured due to Blur hoovering up at the 1995 Brit Awards. Mike and the Mechanics - Over My Shoulder Chart entry this week: 21 Peak: 12 YAKbvDMrXZM Really under-rated song and their first top 40 hit in four years.

Selected tracks outside the Top 10 TOTP 4th, 11th and 18th February 1995 Scarlet - Independent Love Song Chart entry this week: 27 Peak: 12 4SQ6b2jXRtw Fantastic euphoric ballad that really hit its peak in 1995 - similar ballads are on the way! This was on TOP 3 times and it really should have been a huge top 10 hit. Suede - New Generation Chart entry this week: 21 Peak: 21 9Jhl_JAXows The last Suede song before the massive 1996 Coming Up era. Decent, but not a classic imo. Gloria Estefan - Everlasting Love Chart entry this week: 19 Peak: 19 DYP7xoOFODM Decent cover - I much prefer the single version than the one performed on TOTP! I will lump these together from now on when I get slim pickings!

Nightcrawlers, N Trance and Alex Party all in the same top 10 :wub:

Bit baffled by the success of Violet Hill, but there you go. From my votes the top 3 should be: 11 points Viva La Vida 10 points Yellow 9 points The Scientist But I suspect Yellow has this.

Loving 1995 as I expected to so far. Not a fan of MN8 at all though. Celine Dion was superb in the studio singing live - what a song!
