Colm

It did. I suppose interest was still high after his previous era.

Which contest was your first?

Hurrah for 1994!

01 - Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me Yeah - I know. I'm as surprised as you are. I'm neither a fan of Bryan Adams nor of this sort of saccharine ballad but I found this rather pleasant to listen to. 15th best seller of the year. Colm's score 7.4

02 - George Michael - Killer (From the Five Live EP) This isn't a great cover but it's Killer so it gets an automatic top 3 place. I guess I could have gone with The Days of Our Lives with Lisa Stansfield. Those were the only 2 that I would ever listen to. 11th best seller of the year Colm's score 7.3

To paraphrase Erasure - the first 20 hits.

My brother owned this. 1992 was such a great year for huge dance hits. It does seem a little low on smash hits, though. - there were a dozen more top 10 hits that summer that could have been put on this. I suppose Dino wasn't the most influence label out there so it had to work with whatever was available.

Wow. I just noticed your score for Jack Your Body 😱

Great winner. Stunning song. Thanks for the points folks. I was glad to not come last.

That song is absolutely my type of thing. Love it.

Stunning song

I can see the Empire getting single figures. Took a risk.

I'm bracing for It's a Sin or You Win Again ☠️

Help! Youtube won't co-operate.

It's all about the bassline for me.

Thanks GD. Any more votes?

who?

This was the year that I started following the charts.. Music just took over my life. There's plenty of great songs to come. I don't I remember ever hearing Let It Be and I am shocked that Kate turned up. One thing I will say about ensemble charity singles - they're wonderful reminders of long forgotten singers rubbing shoulders with the greats. Pepsi & Shirlie and Kate Bush on the same song!

3 - Take That - Pray This has stood up quite well. 18th best seller of the year Colm's score 7.2

4 - Freddie Mercury - Living On My Own Back then this would probably have topped the list but it's quite underwhelming now. Actually, everything in this list is underwhelming. 20th best seller of the year Colm's score 7.0

5 - Take That - Babe This is ok. Nowhere near their best. 14th best seller of the year Colm's score 6.5

6 - Snow - Informer Blessed relief. A song that doesn't make me want to rip my ears off. But it's all relative, I'm not a huge fan of this either. 17th best seller of the year Colm's score 5.5

7 - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Boom! Shake The Room Jesus this is awful 16th best seller of the year Colm's score 4.2

8 - The Bluebells - Young At Heart Wow, I never really realised how much I dislike this song until now. 12th best seller of the year Colm's score 4.1

09 - Chaka Demus & Pliers - Tease Me As above 13th best seller of the year Colm's score 4.0
