I like Land Of Make Believe - co written by Pete Sinfield of 70's Prog rock band King Crimson.. Who'd have thought...

bucks fizz doing a rock song... probably because it was a cover of rock band The Romantics song, an American Hit also in '84.

Mrs robinson was a top ten hit!

Songs surprised not to see on the list Say You'll Be There Spice Girls Stay Another Day East 17 In The Air Tonight Phil Collins?

Fine Young Cannibals Suspicious Minds was quite good

Most SAW stuff was Hi NRG, so there would have been quite a lot of hits Kid Jensen went to Capitol Radio, where from September he hosted the Network Chart for 9 years.

I wouldnt go back to casettes..all that fast forwarding and rewinding to get to your favourite song. Or when the tape reel comes loose and gets tangled in the tape machine so annoying. Thy should be kept cofined to the history books IMO

No Mercy's 1997 hit Where Do You Go was originally by La Bouche in 1995

Runaways should be much higher in the list, brilliant song

How has Look At Me lost 4000 sales :unsure: , Music Week (dated 25th Mar 2000) had its sales on 330,000

This seems a good idea, however is it worthwhile as dont most people just look at the spotify chart anyway to see whats popular. The amount of downloads sold doesnt seem to make much of a difference except in a few cases (Like Artist for Grenfell ).

Summer (first Time) :puke2: Summer In The City :D Other good Summer songs Sundays Summertime, Texas Summer Son and Bananarama Cruel Summer

I'm guessing the sales of this will mostly all be downloads and small amount of streams (its been the case with previous charity songs IIRC). I'm doubtful if it will go to number one, especially as its only had a few days sales. Wherever it peaks it will probably dive bomb out of the chart. I predict no.2, 5 weeks on the chart

The new top 40 run downs seem to take up alot more time than I would have thought, and the 20th anniversary edition was rubbish- major disappointment

According to wikipedia Orbs Blue Room was 39 minutes long and was the longest single to make the charts

Surely in an era of Hip hop R&B and DJ 's -dance that dominate the charts. These genres rely heavily on samples, which in most cases end up with the writers of the sample being given a writers credit. Also for instance if Charlie Puth writes a song, and wants a rap included in it, he brings in say Jay-z who writes a rap to be included in it, he gets a writers credit, or if he wants it to have a club dance feel to it he brings in Calvin Harris who then has a writing credit for the new dance arrangement. I think its inevitable that they are going to be more than one or two songwriters involved in a hit in the modern era. I think singer songwriters like Adele, Charlie Puth and Ed Sheeran are capable of writing a song by themselves or with one other person. I know Ed Sheeran did on his debut album but for subsequent albums when he has wanted to have a different feel other songwriters have been used, i.e second album Pharell Williams to give him an R&B feel, this current album Steve Mac for a more dance pop feel
