Chez Wombat ranks the 2005 #1s
I'd gone 20+ years without ever hearing (Is This The Way To) Amarillo and now I can't stop listening to it. It's been stuck in my head all week. Thanks @Chez Wombat! 😀

Spice Girls - 'Greatest Hits'
I remember there being so much hype and goodwill at the time, even here in Australia. Whilst I'm in the minority of people who don't hate Headlines I certainly think it wasn't the right choice to launch the comeback with. It kind of feels like a companion track to Goodbye. Something uptempo would've been much better.

Neighbours
I know Karl is Holly’s father but I just can’t take him seriously in this Holly/Andrew storyline, his stance towards Andrew. Karl was a doctor when he cheated on Susan multiple times, so to bring up Andrew being a policeman is a bit rich.

RAYE - WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!
Would be great if this could somehow get a week at #1. Perhaps after the Christmas clean out in January.
