    what are the previous 100th number ones?
  2. There's the Divinyl's I touch myself to add the list of 'sex'' related song in the charts in the summer of 1991. Always there is a good track. Incognito also did a decent version of stevie wonders Don't you worry about a thing

    B A Robertson was just annoying! Not many big hits this week and Elton John was going through a spell of not many big hits. He wasn't working with Bernie Taupin from Part Time Love in 1978 to Blue Eyes in 1982 all were written by or with other songwriters. Sartorial Eloquence was written with Tom Robinson. The only ones I like from this era of his is Part Time Love and Blue Eyes.
  4. 12/14 Surprised I did so well! I'm normally useless with the album charts
  5. Express used to be my fave from Dina Carroll, but Its Too Late is a good one too
  6. I was meaning the song rather than the mix.
  7. You Got The love one of the few singles to make the top 10 on three separate occasions in the same version. Off hand I can only think of You Sexy Thing to have also have done it too.
  8. I listen to stuff on YouTube, does that count? :unsure:
  9. More & More by Captain Hollywood Project was always much better than I Cant Stand it

    Couple from the 90's Iron Maiden Be Quick or be dead {2}-13-40-68- OUT Shut Up And Dance Raving Im Raving {2}-15- OUT
  14. Great list I had been looking for something like this for a while. The Escape Club are missing from 1991, #8 with I'll Be There. They didn't chart in the UK but later wrote hits for Louise from Eternal.

    It was only last year we were having a new number one practically every week, i Think its good that singles are spending longer at no.1, Bryan Adams record may be beaten yet..

    Love Coming Up, one of my fave Mccartney songs. It was certainly a big departure from his current move into hip hop with Kanye West. Take Good Care Of My baby is a good song but Smokie's version was a bit dodgy!
  17. Yes, very sad news. :( They had loads of catchy songs.

    Radio DJ''s very rarely know anything about music (with the exemption maybe of Mr Gambaccini), they are hired for their personalities not their music knowledge. This week wasn't as good as last week for me. Thank goodness David Essex didn't get to number one as Mr bates predicted!

    according to Second Hand Songs, Sugar and Spice wasn't a cover either. Tony Hatch's instrumental recording wasn't till 1965. http://secondhandsongs.com/performance/611...nals#nav-entity

    Prima Donna was awful (like a poor Brotherhood Of man) and to think it came third in the contest for us that year, our entry last year was much better and we got nowhere. Loved The Pretenders, Jam and also the Barbra Dickson song is great.

    Bob Dylan has written so many classic songs, thought it would be good to have a rating on his songs. As his catalogue has been dipped into so often over the years you can rate on his songs even if its not his version you prefer (u can state your prefered version if u wish). I've drawn up a list of some of his best known songs, but if you have one thats not on the list you can add it in. All Along The Watchtower All I Really Want To Do Blowin In The Wind Don't Think Twice, Its Alright A Hard Rains Gonna Fall I Shall Be Released If You Gotta Go, Go Now If Not For You It Ain't Me Babe Its All Over Now Baby Blue Maggie's Farm Mr Tambourine Man My Back Pages Quinn The Eskimo Just Like A Woman Make You Feel My Love This Wheels On Fire Times They Are A Changin' Subterranean Homesick Blues Like A Rolling Stone Postively 4th Street Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window One Of Us Must Know Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 I Want You I Threw It All Away Lay Lady Lay Knockin On Heavens door Watching The River Flow Hurricane Baby Stop Crying I'll Be Your baby Tonight some of my fave choices HqF8oGKb18Q FkCBVZHrstE W4IdDmayilw vWwgrjjIMXA X1ZRBPA8SK0 uPqAvgN6Tyw N6ODMKSWzT4
  22. IMO Solo should mean just that on their own with no other credits Otherwise do we say Nico & Vinz are soloists aswell?

    When I turned over for TOTP's and The Moody Blues was on I thought they'd moved Sounds Of The Sixties from Friday to Thursday at the last minute :lol: Secret Affair and Genesis my fave tracks this week I like Peter Gabriel but never been keen on Games.. I imagine the line "Jane plays with Willy, Willy is happy again" must have got a few giggles in the school playground :lol:

    Theres a good song to remember for Pointless, The Alabama song by David Bowie, had to check didn't even know it was a hit single. (#23) Elvis Costello the best song of the night
  25. RIP All Right Now and My Brother Jake, classics All Right Now was a hit again in 1991 after being used to advertise Wrigleys Chewing Gum
