    I've also been considering offering to host an equivalent of this for #1 albums (obviously only playing one song for each album otherwise it would never end x) at some point down the line if people would be interested, would throw up a bit more variety including artists who could never dream of getting #1 singles.

    Great idea!

     

    OK narrowing it down to everything that’s had at least 3 mentions in the thread sounds like we’ll be choosing 3 of:

    Informer

    Streets of Philadelphia

    The Key, the Secret

    Go West

    Confide in Me

    What Is Love?

    Thanks all for a great session last Sunday - and I forgot to mention but particular thanks to Ed for posting the chart runs!

     

    This coming Sunday we will start with “Ebenezer Goode” in 1992 and, I estimate, finish around January 1995.

     

    That should leave time for up to 3 Number 2 hits to be crowned honorary #1s. So we can have a think about our nominations in advance here is a list of all the Number 2s from the period, and it includes some real corkers!

     

    Undercover - Baker Street 1992

    Dr Alban - It's My Life 1992

    Arrested Development - People Everyday 1992

    Michael Jackson - Heal The World 1992

     

    Snap feat. Niki Harris - Exterminate 1993

    Take That - Why Can't I Wake Up With You 1993

    Michael Jackson - Give In To Me 1993

    Snow - Informer 1993

    Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes 1993

    Haddaway - What Is Love 1993

    4 Non Blondes - What's Up 1993

    Urban Cookie Collective - The Key The Secret 1993

    Bitty McLean - It Keep Rainin' (Tears From Eyes) 1993

    Pet Shop Boys - Go West 1993

    M People - Moving On Up 1993

    Cappella - U Got 2 Let The Music 1993

    Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me 1993

    Elton John & Kiki Dee - True Love 1993

     

    Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart & Sting - All For Love 1994

    Toni Braxton - Breathe Again 1994

    Ace Of Base - The Sign 1994

    Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Philadelphia 1994

    Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm 1994

    Big Mountain - Baby I Love Your Way 1994

    All-4-One - I Swear 1994

    Let Loose - Crazy For You 1994

    Red Dragon with Brian & Tony Gold - Compliments On Your Kiss 1994

    Kylie Minogue - Confide In Me 1994

    Corona - The Rhythm Of The Night 1994

    Bon Jovi - Always 1994

    (MC Sar &) The Real McCoy - Another Night 1994

    Stone Roses - Love Spreads

    Should finally have a clear out next week I'd imagine with 'Peru' not looking to increase and 'The Motto' almost certainly going this time too along with Luude. Not sure about Jax or Belters.

    I reckon that Peru is probably only on DCL1 at the moment thanks to the suspicious video stream boost the week before last! :lol:

     

    I expect that the others you’ve mentioned will all be going after this week.

    I could be misremembering but wasn’t the Born This Way release brought forward to Friday just because Gaga said she was so excited about the release and couldn’t wait any more?

     

    Reminds me of Skyfall which was released midweek just to coincide with the 50 year anniversary of the first Bond film release, and would easily have beaten Diamonds on a full week release (less clear if it would have beaten Don’t You Worry Child if delayed a couple of days instead).

    Welcome to the Number 1 listening sessions thread for the 1990s and beyond!

    To mark 70 years of the UK singles charts, a group of us have been listening to every Number 1 hit ever. We started with Al Martino's "Here In My Heart" from 1952 back in January, and have now reached Elton John's double A side from 1990, "Sacrifice" and "Healing Hands".

    The sessions run from 4pm to 7pm on Sundays, and today we will be covering the 1990 to 1992 period. As we are now in more familiar territory for most I thought some of you who have not joined before may wish to drop in. Feel free to only join for part of the session, or pop in and out as you wish! You can join anonymously if you wish, or re-name yourself with your real or Buzzjack username and join the conversation.

    We use Synctube for the sessions, and I will post the link here in the hour before the session. We play the Youtube video for each song and have a good old chat about the good, the bad and the ridiculous.

    Each session we will make nominations from the period for our worst Number 1 ever shortlist, which we have been discussing in the Pre 2000s forum. The group will also nominate a couple of favourite #2 hits from the time to be crowned as honorary Number 1s and played at the end of the session.

    Hope to "see" you there! :)

    Nothing too sad but a few I gave 6/10, where 8 or higher scored points - More Than I Can Say, DISCO and Joanna. Some other horrors for which I gave 1 or 2/10 that fully deserved their result - Stars on 45 vol 2, Daddy’s Home, Blue Christmas, Hole In My Shoe and The War Song.

     

    Gezza didn’t follow through on his promise to ignore votes for The Birdy Song then. :kink: Chez must be referring to either that or Agadoo.
