Well never mind! At least it finished coming 6th. As the winner was Don`t Push It, which was clearly strange when you consider in the space of 20 minutes it went from 66-1 to 33-1 to 20-1 to 12-1 to 10-1favourite....I would say that there is something funny. I think one of those pay for phoneline bets, happened here. Set out to win, it happens in at least one race a week, if you follow racing & spend most of the week in the Bookies, like me! :teresa:

With the likes of Muhammad Ali, Rod Hull & Emu...complete with the bit where Billy Connolly says "If you try that on me, I`ll break his beak & your hand". He never had an easy show did he? Poor old Michael! Even having a cardboard cut-out on the Kenny Everett show, along with "Cupid Stunt". The Top Singles in April 1982 01 01 MY CAMERA NEVER LIES - BUCKS FIZZ...the 3rd number one for the ex-Eurovision winners 02 05 EBONY AND IVORY - STEVIE WONDER/PAUL MCCARTNEY...that piano, and those vocals of Stevie & Paul 03 02 AIN`T NO PLEASING YOU - CHAS N DAVE...the biggest hit for the duo, actually topping the Melody Maker chart in 1982! 04 06 GIVE ME BACK MY HEART - DOLLAR...David & Therese with a bit of a 70s feel to this chart all round 05 14 PAPA`S GOT A BRAND NEW PIGBAG - PIGBAG...post punk from Cheltenham & Birmingham, and what an instrumental 06 04 MORE THAN THIS - ROXY MUSIC...Bryan Ferry & his suit! 07 03 SEVEN TEARS - GOOMBAY DANCE BAND...the German based sound, that could`ve been Boney M 08 17 BLUE EYES - ELTON JOHN...63 last month it`s Reg Dwight returning to the top ten after a break 09 21 ONE STEP FURTHER - BARDO...the UK entry to Eurovision 1982, that was 2nd only to Germany`s Nicole 10 07 GHOSTS - JAPAN...David Sylvian up to his tricks with those looks and sounds 11 18 FANTASTIC DAY - HAIRCUT 100...old Nick & the boys 12 13 NIGHT BIRDS - SHAKATAK...Jazz funk and the 1st of 2 top ten hits 13 27 I CAN MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD - SHALAMAR...always seen in the chart with Shakatak by coincidence, and masterminded by Don Cornelius of "Soul Train" fame 14 08 JUST AN ILLUSION - IMAGINATION...Leee John and the bunch 15 12 SEE THOSE EYES - ALTERED IMAGES...the lovely Clare Grogan, on many a wall 16 10 DEAR JOHN - STATUS QUO...Frances, Rick and the boys, probably still getting Rabbito One airplay in 1982 17 26 THIS TIME - ENGLAND WORLD CUP SQUAD...our go at the World Cup in 1982, which was in Spain. Finished with Italy winning 18 23 REALLY SAYING SOMETHING - BANANARAMA...the first solo outing away from the Fun Boy Three. The original Spice Girls there! 19 15 DON`T LOVE ME TOO HARD - NOLANS...those Irish lassies from the 70s Talent show "Opportunity Knocks", supported Frank Sinatra in 1975 on tour. In 1979, they were tipped to win the Song For Europe with "Harry My Honolulu Lover" but came fourth, as the dodgy "Mary Anne" from Black Lace went to represent us in Eurovision. It took the Nolan Sisters five years to get a UK hit. The first being "Spirit Body & Soul" in October 1979 20 11 IS IT A DREAM - CLASSIX NOUVEAU...Sal Solo and co, getting number ones in Europe, but not the UK 21 09 HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE - LEO SAYER...the return for Leo, who was doing a BBC2 series at the time 22 29 EVER SO LONELY - MONSOON...world fusion sound, thei first hit. The 2nd was "Shakti" and the video was directed by Midge Ure 23 16 LAYLA - DEREK AND THE DOMINOES...the re-issued Eric Clapton hit 24 20 DAMNED DON`T CRY - VISAGE...Steve Strange and that New Romantic sound, that had Midge Ure connections yet again 25 11 YOURS - JULIO IGLESIAS...that Spaniard, who used to play soccer, but had an injury. So, went to singing. Vera Lynn had a number one with it in January 1942 26 24 HOUSE ON FIRE - BOOMTOWN RATS...Bob Geldof and the boys, who finally bit the dust in 1986. In Jan 1981, they released a song called "Up All Night" that flopped, but I always thought it should`ve been a hit 27 NE SHIRLEY - SHAKIN`STEVENS...another cover for the Welshman, most certainly the Dave Edmunds of the eighties! 28 39 FREEZE-FRAME - J GEILS BAND...following up "Centrefold". They formed in 1967, had many a US hit and took 25 years to even do that in the UK 29 28 CAT PEOPLE - DAVID BOWIE...David Jones was 63 in January. Mr always different, I think we could say, as well as multi-talented. He was born in Brixton you know 30 22 A BUNCH OF TIME - FOSTER AND ALLEN...those lovely Irish men, Tony Allen/Mick Foster still doing the rounds in 2010 31 43 PROMISED YOU A MIRACLE - SIMPLE MINDS...up to Glasgow for Jim Kerr and co 32 NE VIEW FROM A BRIDGE - KIM WILDE...Marty`s girl in to year 2 of her career, but tending to slip into decline 33 44 INSTINCTION - SPANDAU BALLET...the Kemps in better days, and I would say better sound. I mean I couldn`t stand the overplayed hits of True & Gold etc 34 31 IRON FIST - MOTORHEAD...Ian Kilmister and co. So much rock around in the chart in 1982. Did we blame Tommy Vance on the Top 40, although he was making like a million mistakes every Sunday! Or were you tuning in to Richard Allinson and the UK Top 30 on Capital?! Well, it was a week ahead! And in those days Richard actually turned up, unlike last Saturday morning when he went awol from his radio 2 show & Colin Berry took the reigns and had no sleep! 35 30 ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT (THE LAUGHING VERSION) - ELVIS PRESLEY...a 70s live version, where Elvis starts laughing because lyrics were changed around 36 25 POISON ARROW - ABC...Martin Fry and co, and the Trevor Horn produced "Lexicon Of Love" LP 37 NE I WON`T LET YOU DOWN - PHD...Jim Diamond`s outfit, who couldn`t get a follow up in the UK. "Suzi`s On The Up" was the follow up. There were 3 others, and they all flopped too 38 NE PRIVATE EYES - HALL & OATES...So many US hits, but the UK had very few big ones 39 NE GIRL CRAZY - HOT CHOCOLATE...Errol Brown doing the business again, proving once again a 1970s feel in 1982 40 36 STONE COLD - RAINBOW...Ritchie Blackmore led the group, after Deep Purple. Cozy Powell was a 70s member & Graham Bonnet was there between 1979/80.

I remember the week well. It was a pretty good week weatherwise in Southern England. I believe Sounds also disappeared in April 1991. I used to enjoy their spoof on Piers Morgan, with a column called "Prize Moron"!! So many Music Papers gone now. It was in 1990, that Number One magazine was swallowed up by the BBC, which meant no one any longer printed the Network Top 75. Only a Top 50 via NME & Melody Maker.

No I`m not saying that, but it will come pretty close. Showing tonight at 71. And big falls throughout the week. Number 59 yesterday officially, someone said elsewhere! Was it number 40 on Wednesday? Will it be the biggest faller in "History"???? :lol:

It doesn`t happen that often. The last time was when there were 4 new films in the top 4 on 17th Jan 2009. Averaging twice a year. The Top 4 on 17th Jan 2009 was: 01 Role Models 02 Slumdog Millionaire 03 Bride Wars 04 Defiance It also happened with 3 new in the top 3 on 2nd Jan 2009: 01 Yes Man 02 Bedtime Stories 03 Australia And 28th March 2008: a new top 4 01 Horton Hears A Who! 02 Spiderwick Chronicles 03 Step Up 2: The Streets 04 Meet The Spartans Also 14th March 2008: a new top 3 01 Vantage Point 02 The Other Boleyn Girl 03 The Game Plan

The original had be recorded a few weeks before them by Nick Todd who was the younger brother of Pat Boone. Nick`s version did manage to chart in a top 20 in February 1958. There was just the one new entry with Connie Francis, on the way to the top. Bubblers that week were, "To Be Loved" Jackie Wilson, Frank Sinatra (again), "Breathless" Jerry Lee Lewis, who tied with Frankie Vaughan`s double A side "Can`t Get Along Without You/We Are Not Alone".

Sunday 6th April 1958 David Jacobs presents at 10.40pm on the Light Programme, with the usual Top 20 highlights, the top 3, and new releases. 01 01 MAGIC MOMENTS/CATCH A FALLING STAR - PERRY COMO 02 02 DON`T/I BEG OF YOU - ELVIS PRESLEY 03 03 NAIROBI - TOMMY STEELE 03 06 WHOLE LOTTA WOMAN - MARVIN RAINWATER 05 08 MAYBE BABY - CRICKETS 06 03 THE STORY OF MY LIFE - MICHAEL HOLLIDAY 07 10 LA DEE DAH - JACKIE DENNIS 08 06 AT THE HOP - DANNY AND THE JUNIORS 09 15 SWINGING SHEPHERD BLUES - TED HEATH AND HIS MUSIC 10 05 JAILHOUSE ROCK - ELVIS PRESLEY 10 11 GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY - LITTLE RICHARD 12 14 MANDY - EDDIE CALVERT 13 NE TEQUILA - THE CHAMPS 14 13 APRIL LOVE - PAT BOONE 15 09 YOU ARE MY DESTINY - PAUL ANKA 16 17 BABY LOVER - PETULA CLARK 17 NE A WONDERFUL TIME UP THERE/IT`S TOO SOON TO KNOW - PAT BOONE 18 20 TO BE LOVED - MALCOM VAUGHAN 19 NE OH OH I`M FALLING IN LOVE - JIMMIE RODGERS 20 NE THE BIG BEAT - FATS DOMINO 4 new entries that week. It has to be said that David Jacobs was rather bias, while presenting Pick Of The Pops. He appeared not to be a Rock N`Roll fan, and a little known fact was that he never once played Jackie Dennis & "La Dee Dah", even though it was up in the top ten! It has to be noted that in his end of year review, which was supposed to feature the number ones of 1958 in December, he still managed to play "Fever" by Peggy Lee despite it never even making the top 5! Just outside the top 20, that week were "Oh Boy" the Crickets (falling out), Frank Sinatra was also out with "All The Way/Chicago" (the double A side), Tony Brent "The Clouds Will Soon Roll By", & Jackie Wilson "Too Be Loved".

This week was the anniversary of the very first BBC Top 20, to be featured on Pick Of The Pops. Over every week, I shall post the actual charts used by the BBC, up until the very first computerised chart compiled by the British Market Research Bureau on Tuesday 11th Feb 1969. So, on Sunday 30th March 1958...David Jacobs returned to the Pick Of The Pops at 11pm, taking over from the late Alan Dell and featuring Top 20 highlights, the complete top 3, and half an hour of new releases. This was David Jacobs first Top 20 countdown: (Based on an average of lists featured in NME, Melody Maker, Record Mirror, & Disc and compiled by Derek Chinnery) Note: The BBC listed all double A sided records together, as they should`ve been) 01 01 MAGIC MOMENTS/CATCH A FALLING STAR - PERRY COMO 02 03 DON`T/I BEG OF YOU - ELVIS PRESLEY 03 02 THE STORY OF MY LIFE - MICHAEL HOLLIDAY 03 03 NAIROBI - TOMMY STEELE 05 04 JAILHOUSE ROCK - ELVIS PRESLEY 06 06 AT THE HOP - DANNY AND THE JUNIORS 06 11 WHOLE LOTTA WOMAN - MARVIN RAINWATER 08 10 MAYBE BABY - CRICKETS 09 07 YOU ARE MY DESTINY - PAUL ANKA 10 20 LA DEE DAH - JACKIE DENNIS 11 08 GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY - LITTLE RICHARD 12 09 OH BOY - CRICKETS 13 14 APRIL LOVE - PAT BOONE 14 16 MANDY - EDDIE CALVERT 15 14 ALL THE WAY/CHICAGO - FRANK SINATRA 15 18 SWINGING SHEPHERD BLUES - TED HEATH AND HIS MUSIC 17 17 BABY LOVER - PETULA CLARK 18 15 CAN`T GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU/WE ARE NOT ALONE - FRANKIE VAUGHAN 19 13 LOVE ME FOREVER - MARION RYAN 20 NE TO BE LOVED - MALCOM VAUGHAN Only one new entry to the top 20. Buddy Holly`s "Peggy Sue" had fallen out from the last week`s joint 18, as Derek Chinnery (as compiler) had done a complete list for the previous week. Bubblers were Fats Domino "The Big Beat", Alma Cogan "Sugartime", Moe Kauffman "Swingin`Shepherd Blues" & Jackie Wilson "To Be Loved". Join me next week for Sunday 6th April 1958. My goodness, this could take 11 years!

It`s incorrect! The Radio One Top 40 was Sunday 28th, and the new number one was Cher "The Shoop Shoop Song". It`s wrong because Guiness gives the week ending dates! From 1987, as the new chart was announced on a Sunday...the week ending dates are 6 days behind.

Well we know that Radio One announced their chart on a Tuesday before October 1987 (a Wednesday if there was a Bank Holiday Monday). The date would therefore be 4 days earlier than the week end date given in Guiness. From October 1987, Radio One announced the new chart on a Sunday, even though the Tuesday countdown had also broken off on a Saturday. The Sunday chart date would be 6 days before the date given for the week ending in Guiness. But ignore Guiness before 15th Feb 1969, because the chart doesn`t count, and is nonsense and no one ever used it NME was compiled on a Tuesday during the 50s/60s, moving to Wednesdays in the 70s. NME`s shop sample was around 120 in total by 1968. This drop to 100 after 1969. NME claim to have been Britain`s first chart based on Record Sales in November 1952, but they weren`t! Read on Melody Maker was a Monday chart, but switched to Thursday in 1983 thus more ahead than NME. By 1968 it was sampling the biggest number of shops, 150 in total. Like NME, it dropped to 100 after 1969. Contrary to belief Melody Maker compiled the first Record sales chart in the 40s, but stopped it before bringing it back in April 1956 Disc was a Monday chart from Mar 1958 - Sept 1967, when they switched to using the Melody Maker chart. Previous to Sept 1967, the shop samples by Disc were much lower than that of Melody Maker, only around 50 in total Record Retailer was always a week out because it was Saturday compiled. By the time their paper was published, the chart was 5 days out of date, and used a small sample in it`s sales info, sometimes less than 30 shops (hence "Please Please Me" missing number one) that`s why it was nonsense until the British Market Bureau took over compilation Record Mirror was more ahead during the Jan 1955-Mar 1962 period going to print on a Thursday, hitting the shops on Friday mornings. It ceased to be more ahead, when it switched to the Record Retailer chart on Friday 23rd March 1962 Sounds began in 1971, and used the Radio One chart. Later they used the MRIB chart from April 1984, but it was different to the Network Chart, because it didn`t use any airplay. Like the Network Chart it went up to Friday morning. That was originated from Record Business Charts, who compiled it from April 1978 - 1983. It did exist as an EMI chart from 1957, but was based on an average of 4 charts, and 10% sales research of their own The BBC`s own chart was compiled on a Friday from 28th March 1958 - April 61, then switched to Thursday. 31st Dec 1963 was the first BBC Tuesday chart. It was from the December 63 point, when NME, MM, DISC & RR all supplied the chart to the BBC, for their average working. Worked out by Derek Chinnery & later Denys Jones. Thus compiled from over 300 shops, and widely followed by Joe Public. British Market Research Bureau provided the BBC with the first computer based sales chart on Tuesday 11th February 1969 (covering the period Mon - Sat) for the first time

Totally agree. The even more annoying thing is that damn song, will stay on Independant Radio`s playlist for months! :puke2:

Not likely Tom, He would need to get as high as number 34 on iTunes.

More often than not, they do. Though a few have missed the top spot. Now 27 springs to mind, because this week in 1994, Pink Floyd`s Division Bell held it off.

The big finish then, with that Top 75 lowdown supplied by DTR (The Data & Technical Research Company). The top 40 is based on a mixture of physicals/downloads with the 41-75 on solid downloads. TOP 75 Kids In Glass Houses Chipmunk (LFM) TOP 70 N-Dubz/Mr Hudson (PWF) Rihanna (RR) TOP 60 30 Seconds To Mars Eminem/Lil`Wayne (DTW) Jay Z/Mr Hudson (YF) Pixie Lott (CMO) Alexandra (ANL) Paramore Alexandra (BH) 33) Black Eyed Peas (MMH) 32) Plan B (STL) 31) Glee (MLWSWY) TOP 50 50 44 FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE - CHERYL COLE 30) 49 46 I GOTTA FEELING - BLACK EYED PEAS 29) 48 42 RIVERSIDE - SIDNEY SAMSON 28) 47 48 EGO - SATURDAYS 27) 46 35 NUMBER ONE ENEMY - DAISY DARES YOU 45 39 WEAR MY KISS - SUGABABES 26) 44 40 DO YOU REMEMBER - JAY SEAN 25) 43 NE I`M NOT MAD - ALEX GARDNER 24) 42 36 I GOT YOU - LEONA 23) 41 33 YOU GOT THE LOVE - FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE 22) 40 NE SAY IT`S OVER - N-DUBZ 39 41 TIK TOK - KESHA 21) 38 24 NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN - WILEY 20) 37 26 WHY DON`T YOU - GRAMOPHONEDZIE 19) 36 27 BAD DAY - SKEPTA 18) 35 28 EMPIRE STATE OF MIND - JAY Z/ALICIA KEYS 17) 34 37 DOG DAYS ARE OVER - FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE 33 23 BLAH BLAH BLAH - KESHA/3OH!3 16) 32 31 THE CAVE - MUMFORD AND SONS 15) (7 inch vinyl) 31 38 MEMORIES - GUETTA/CUDI 30 22 ONE SHOT - JLS 14) 29 30 REPLAY - IYAZ 28 21 DON`T STOP BELIEVIN - JOURNEY 27 25 DON`T STOP BELIEVIN - GLEE 26 34 STARSTRUCK - 3OH!3/KATY PERRY 25 29 BAD ROMANCE - LADY GAGA 13) =20 24 20 GRAVITY - PIXIE LOTT 23 09 GAVE IT ALL AWAY - BOYZONE 12) 22 15 ON A MISSION - GABRIELLA CILMI 11) 21 18 OPPOSITE OF ADULTS - CHIDDY BANG 10) (12 inch EP) 20 19 MY NAME - MCLEAN 9) =19 19 17 IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN - TIMBALAND/KATY PERRY 8) =17 18 09 BEDROCK - YOUNG MONEY/LLOYD 7) =16 17 16 FIREFLIES - OWL CITY =15 16 12 ROCK THAT BODY - BLACK EYED PEAS 6) =14 15 11 YOU GOT THE DIRTEE LOVE - FLORENCE/DIZZEE =12 14 32 CARRY OUT - TIMBALAND/TIMBERLAKE =18 13 09 EMPIRE STATE OF MIND II - ALICIA KEYS =13 12 07 STARRY EYED - ELLIE GOULDING 5) =11 11 08 IN MY HEAD - JASON DERULO =10 10 06 PARACHUTE - CHERYL COLE 4) =9 09 05 HOT - INNA =7 08 14 OMG - USHER/WILL I AM =8 07 04 RUDE BOY - RIHANNA =6 06 03 BABY - JUSTIN BIEBER/LUDACRIS =5 05 NE HISTORY MAKERS - DELIRIOUS? 04 02 PASS OUT - TINIE TEMPAH =4 03 01 TELEPHONE - LADY GAGA 3) =3 02 NE SHE SAID - PLAN B 2) =2 01 NE THIS AIN`T A LOVE SONG - SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 1) =1 ) Position without downloads alone = Position on Chart Show tv It looks impossible for Delrious to get any higher, and GaGa is very close to Plan B. Unfortunately SFG can`t be budged from the top. It could be a very quiet chart in all, because N-dubz could fall out of the top 40 in favour of the other one from Florence. Don`t forget to stay ahead with the chart join Jason Scott on the Superstation http://www.thesuperstation.info from 4pm on Sunday, and at 7pm those bubblers & future hits...before anyone else, and non-stop. Meanwhile, did you ponder over that person, who had 2 consecutive Easter number ones? Well, it was actually Madonna "Like A Prayer" in 1989 & "Vogue" in 1990. Emma Bunton did get 2, one with the Spice Girls & one solo, but they weren`t consecutive anyway!

I sincerely hope, you are joking! Especially at 3pm on Good Friday. :teresa:

Talking Cider, doesn`t Strongbow just give you a roaring gut ache? Mass produced and full of chemicals. Like you say Tom, Bulmers Pear is pretty good.

Do you know Robbie? I`d cean forgotten that! I was looking at the actual publicity sheet for Live Aid. Apparently they should`ve followed Phil Collins`s UK appearance.

Anytime mate!

Oh good! Yep, I like the way we`ve managed to have David Guetta & Kid Cudi in for 2 weeks, and he`s only just managed the Official Top 40 this week! That 7.5% Airplay on new entries, works well.

By the way if you are in too vintage sitcoms, there are currently two of the worse ever made showing on Film24 (Sky 157) on Sundays at 7pm. They are "Take A Letter Mr Jones" with John Inman/Rula Lenska/Miriam Margoyles followed by "That Beryl Marston" with Julia McKenzie/Gareth Hunt/Jonathon Morris...They are both Southern Television at it`s worse, and no wonder they lost their franchise after this dross! Mind you, they also run Kids TV, like "Freewheelers" & "The Flockton Flyer" during the week, so not so bad. There are also some rarely seen B & W films too. Possibly we await a re-run of Jon Pertwee`s "Worzel Gummidge" too. More good news is, forthcoming plans to show more archive stuff like "Sapphire & Steel" a la David Macallum/Joanna Lumley, "The Gemini Man" (Ben Murphy), Cannon...a less often screened detective show made by Quinn Martin. Which could mean we might get "The Fugitive" (the original series) which deserves a complete re-run. On the detective thing, they already show the original B & W series of "Burke`s Law" on Fridays at 10.30am. Overall probably one of the better Satellite Channels.

Always stated as a one hit wonder, but we know it wasn`t! 03 36 WHOLE OF THE MOON - WATERBOYS...the re-issue of the 1984 top 30 hit, for the Scottish/Irish band following their best of album 04 04 RHYTHM OF MY HEART - ROD STEWART...Rod doing good in 1991. I do question the stuff, he`s putting out today. Can we have something a little more original? 05 05 SECRET LOVE - BEE GEES...High Civilization was the album, from whence it came. Possibly the only current hit of the time being played on Radio 2 06 19 LOVE AND KISSES - DANNI MINOGUE...Was she a shade better looking than Kylie? Some thought So! 07 14 HUMAN NATURE - GARY CLAIL ON U SOUND SYSTEM...the British singer/producer and part on U Sound Records 08 10 MEGAMIX - SNAP!...Did we need a Snap! megamix?

The series only on Sky TV in 1991 21 17 SHE`S A WOMAN - SCRITTI POLITTI...up to Leeds for a Beatles cover, that featured the rather starange sound of one Shabba Ranks 22 23 HIGHWIRE - ROLLING STONES...the Stones still getting those small single hits featuring Living Colour & Guns N`Roses during their tours at this point 23 26 WORD OF MOUTH - MIKE AND THE MECHANICS...the late Paul Young did vocals on this one, Paul Carrack had been with Paul in Sad Cafe. 24 NE SIZE OF A COW - WONDER STUFF...the 8th top 50 hit for the lads from Stourbridge 25 15 LOSING MY RELIGION - R.E.M...Michael Stipe and co having better days, and coming from Georgia, of course 26 29 CAN YOU DIG IT - MOCK TURTLES...up to Manchester for Martin Coogan and co. Martin is Steve Coogan`s brother, you know 27 NE RING MY BELL - MONIE LOVE VS ADEVA...Simone Wilson meets Patricia Daniels, and as usual ripping off some old hit 28 34 CARAVAN - INSPIRAL CARPETS...Lambert & Holt etc from Oldham. Great stuff, and for me, best in the chart 29 38 WHERE LOVE LIES - ALISON LIMERICK...13 top 75 hits for Alison, who did backing vocals on the Style Council`s "Our Favourite Shop" album 30 11 SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO/RUSH - CLASH...re-issued for the Clash, although the B side was Big Audio Dynamite, and the connection of Mick Jones 31 24 OVER TO YOU JOHN - JIVE BUNNY...John & Andrew Pickles and Rotherham. Weren`t you just sick of them by now?! 32 39 COWBOYS AND ANGELS - GEORGE MICHAEL...12 UK nunber one singles, 10 U.S. ones. The Gulf War in 1991, led to a radio airplay Hot 100 hit "Mother`s Pride". Maybe Cowboys & Angels would have been a choice on it`s own. 33 30 BY MY SIDE - INXS...Michael Hutchence formed in 1977, and the apparent drug/alcohol suicide in 1997 34 NE HYPERREAL - SHAMEN...Mr C (Andrew West) had now appeared alongside Colin Angus, Derek & Keith McKenzie and Peter Stephenson 35 16 YOU GOT THE LOVE - SOURCE/CANDI STATON...originally written in 1986, featured with Paul Simpson on Adeva`s "Musical Freedom" in 1989, Joss Stone (last year), and Florence Welch this year 36 18 LOOSE FIT - HAPPY MONDAYS...madchester rules ok! Shaun Ryder and the gang 37 45 SENZA UNA DONNA - ZUCCHERO/PAUL YOUNG...it mean`t "Without A Woman". First recorded by the Italian without Paul, on the album version 38 NE HEAVEN - CHRIS REA...Aged 59, and currently touring. Was he so bad, or did he warrant the joke "What do you get if you cross Dire Straits with Chris Rea?" I thought it might have been a good idea to form a band called Dire-Rea! Could`ve used a title of "The Road To Money", combining "Road To Hell" with "Money For Nothing", as a send up. 39 33 BEEN CAUGHT STEALING - JANE`S ADDICTION...Perry Farrell and co from Los Angeles, and back 3rd time in 2010, working on new material 40 28 LOVE REARS ITS UGLY HEAD - LIVING COLOUR...The Funk-Metal Pioneers from New York, and a-forementioned performing with the Stones 41 NE SAILING ON THE SEVEN SEAS - ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK...OMD, Andy McCluskey & Paul Humphries from the Wirral 42 08 STONK - HALE AND PACE...Comic Relief, and more nonsense! And what a fall down the chart. 43 22 BECAUSE I LOVE YOU - STEVIE B....Steven Bernard Hill was the full name of this Miami Singer/Producer/Songwriter. The song subtitled "The Postman`s Song". I thought that was "Get Down Shep", by the Barron Knights! 44 25 UNFINISHED SYMPATHY - MASSIVE....Up to Bristol for the gang "Massive Attack", and wasn`t it great 45 NE I`M ALRIGHT - KATHERINE E...Appearing on many 90s tracks, she was produced by Fabrizio Rizzolo & Franco Diaferia 46 NE SEAL OUR FATE - GLORIA ESTEFAN...a year on from the Tour Bus accident, and in 1991...it was back for the "Into The Light" promotion 47 50 ALWAYS ON THE RUN - LENNY KRAVITZ...the big mixed musical genius of the New Yorker 48 NE I JUST WANNA B WITH U - TRANSVISION VAMP...Wendy James on her last legs, but returning solo in 1993 with an album written by Elvis Costello 49 27 MOVE YOUR BODY - XPANSIONS...Sally Anne Marsh had been one part of the Threesome "Faith Hope & Chrity", which also featured one Dani Behr.
