"Grace Kelly" is great and would be in my Top 3, eventhough it denied "Starz In Their Eyes" a well-deserved #1. "Starz In Their Eyes" is among my 3 favourite songs of 2007.

I created playlists for NOW81 and NOW82 and added some of the main ommissions at the end. Unfortunately for each compilation one of the songs featured on the NOW's is not available at Spotify: NOW 81: Gym Class Heroes Feat. Neon Hitch – Get Yourself Back Home NOW 82: Lawson – When She Was Mine

Pretty Green Eyes - such a banging tune.

Robin Schulz the only one I have put in my playlist.

Go for Sarah - it is better than "Talk To Me"

My tune is also mainly instrumental but features a vocal from Twin Peaks.

Speed garage was the precursor of it heavily inspired by jungle but with a 4 to the floor beat. The most famous thing was the Armand van Helden Remix of "Professional Widow". Other great charting tunes were 187 Lockdown "Gunman", Double 99 "Ripgroove", Kathy Brown "Turn To Sugar", Serious Danger "Deeper" and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels "People Hold On". I will create something.

I will create a compilation on the best speed garage around in 97/98. Don't know whether all the material is available on spotify, but I got all relevant stuff in my single-CD collection and may upload it to mixcloud otherwise. 😉

Go Ella - this should end up in the top 10.

Sienna Spiro should be breakthrough artist of the year.

Not a big fan of "Beautiful Liar" - this would be several places lower for me definitely behind "Ruby" and the Timbaland songs. "Shine" is a good song but would also be 2-3 places lower for me.

Eminem - Lose Yourself is anyway superior to Bump, but even it would be vice versa I would not vote for toxic P.Diddy.

Quite good stuff - I just found his tunes a bit short but bits and flow are alright.

Love both "Down Under" and "Every Breath You Take" - good positioning.

Grace Davies - Super Love Me Superinfectious - come on TikTokers invent some dance to it and make it famous. So much deserved!!! Such a great vid too.

The Zephyra Continuum has sent its contestant.

Good selection here - great work. In 98 I was much into dance music and it was a transition year from speed garage to trance and funky house. I will delve deeper into it this evening, but one song I am missing is the great cover version from Juliet Roberts of "Bad Girls".

Close race between Connie and Erin, which Connie slightly wins.

Love "Hey There Delilah" and "Breathe"

Playback Carlos Santana!!!

Sugababes for me

"Billie Jean" is fantastic - an absolute contender for number 1 for me. My favourite MJ song. The cover version of "You Can't Hurry Love" is alright and Phil gives the whole song a new atmosphere. Not a big fan of the Paul Young - would be close to the bottom for me. I find it really boring and uninspired. Come Back And Stay is soooo much better and has a great refrain, hich is lacking here.

Congratulations - what a fantastic #1!!!

I'm wondering that the first song in the list is pop. 🙂

"12 To 12" is my 3rd favourite song of 2025, so a great choice for a long chart run. Sienna almost top 10 now - that is great. Big return of "Lush Life". And finally I found my connection to "Choosin' Texas" - nice that it entered the UK Top 100 today.
