  2. India chase down 338 to win the second semi-final against Australia. That has to be one of the best ever women's ODIs.

  5. 28th October - 3rd November 1965 22. Love Is Strange - The Everly Brothers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKBhq2q3J98 A cover of a Bo Diddly written song from the 50s, they make a decent job of it, including some spoken dialogue in the middle. This will be the end of a regular run of top 40 hits that started in 1957. They will have one more in 1968. 29. But You're Mine - Sonny and Cher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnDILamtGgo The intro to this was longer than I expected it to be. As for the rest, the lyrics are on a similar theme to 'I Got You Babe', about not taking any notice of what people say about them. 31. Baby I'm Yours - Peter and Gordon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0aXBP9SBuc The vocals are a bit ropey in places but I enjoyed the string section coming out of the right speaker. First recorded by Barbara Lewis, the song was written by Van McCoy who will go on to give us 'The Hustle'. 37. It's My Life - The Animals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6JmD6IcYgo There's a determination and defiance in the lyrics of this one which also has a prominent bass guitar riff. It will be their sixth top 10 single. 39. Positively 4th Street - Bob Dylan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aehwEu8SBSo While the song's title is familiar to me, I don't remember hearing it before. Containing just verses with no chorus, it seemed to go on for a long time and the organ in the background was the only redeeming feature. Record of the week : 17. Get Off Of My Cloud - The Rolling Stones This is fairly straightforward in its structure but the infectious singalong chorus is enough to win this week's award. Living on the 99th floor of an apartment block but being disturbed by noisy neighbours is meant to be a metaphor for the group enjoying their success but being under pressure to follow up each single with an even better one. The single will be the group's fifth consecutive number 1, spending three weeks at the top of the chart.

  13. Setting Sun would definitely be my favourite number 1 from 1996 with Firestarter in second place and Three Lions third.

    I've never watched Hollyoaks before but watched this today for the Brookside characters. I don't suppose we'll ever get an explanation on why Sheila Grant is back living in her old house. She left with Billy Corkhill many years before Brookside finished, to the south of England I think, but it's good to see that she and Billy are still together and that Tinhead and Nicky now seen to be a couple as well.
  16. Congratulations to Dobbo, I don't think anyone predicted that one to win. I moved it up from 6 points to 8 points in my vote after my final listen. 7th place for my own song was much better than I was expecting. It was the first time in the retro contest that I didn't enter a song I already knew. I had to go hunting for something new and that was the best one I managed to find. Thanks to all who gave it points. Thanks to Dan for such a good job hosting and bringing in the jury/televote twist.
  17. That was more than I thought I would get. Thanks Ansel, AH Gold, matto and Jester for the medal points.
  18. Not as many televotes for Sigur Ros as I thought there would be.
  19. That's a good score for Wardy's song, I liked it a lot.
  20. That will take some beating.
  21. Everything appears to be in order, you are good to go.
  22. On the listenthrough we thought Doce was Wow73.
  23. I don't think I'll get many podium places either but good to see my song is picking up plenty of points.
  24. I did think Brer's entry was from Jade.
