My own 1999 number 1s. This does obscure the fact that Out of the Blue and No Scrubs were my second and third favorite tracks of the year but they were released in the same week as Windowlicker so never made it to number 1. 16 Jan 99 Robbie Williams - No Regrets - 2 wks 30 Jan 99 Three Drives On A Vinyl - Greece 2000 - 1 wk 06 Feb 99 Placebo - Every You, Every Me - 2 wks 20 Feb 99 UNKLE feat. Ian Brown - Be There - 3 wks 13 Mar 99 Skunk Anansie - Charlie Big Potato - 3 wks 03 Apr 99 Aphex Twin - Windowlicker - 7 wks 22 May 99 Veracocha - Carte Blanche - 3 wks 12 Jun 99 Travis - Driftwood - 1 wk 19 Jun 99 The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl - 3 wks 10 Jul 99 Gouryella - Gouryella - 2 wks 24 Jul 99 Manic Street Preachers - Tsunami - 2 wks 08 Aug 99 Orbital - Nothing Left - 1 wk 14 Aug 99 Destiny's Child - Bills, Bills, Bills - 3 wks 04 Sep 99 Badly Drawn Boy - Once Around The Block - 3 wks 25 Sep 99 Suede - Everything Will Flow - 4 wks 23 Oct 99 The Chemical Brothers - Out of Control - 4 wks 20 Nov 99 Travis - Turn - 1 wk 27 Nov 99 Blur - No Distance Left to Run - 3 wks 18 Dec 99 The Charlatans - My Beautiful Friend - 3 wks

You might think that but I couldn't possibly comment. :lol:

Yay! For the inclusion of this.

Would you like a job?

There were over 200 top 10 hits in 1999. It was difficult to get it down to 4 discs. Plus there were several essential tracks that missed the top 10 that year too. The discussion was lengthy, passionate and we all lost faves in the process. Ultimately, we've got a collection that should easily exceed what the Now team will release.

I don't know why RTE think that the Late Late audience would have any idea what works for Eurovision. It will be the boy band or Erica Cody that will be chosen.

There's 4 discs Predict what might open each one

Coming soon

I love that Placebo track. In the first 6 months of 1999 my three favourite tracks had similar titles Every You, Every Me Right Here, Right Now Hey Boy, Hey Girl

Roads too. Also Nine Inch Nails - Warm Place.

Where does one start? I'll do the 80s first Kate Bush - Get Out of My House The Cure - Plainsong The Smiths - Cemetery Gates Pet Shop Boys - Why Can't I Wake Up New Order - Dream Attack Depeche Mode - The Things You Said 1990s Suede - Still Life, The Asphalt World Manics - Die in the Summertime Tori Amos - Precious Things Massive Attack - Mezzanine Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls

This could be interesting

They're on to us :(

Love Me Like I Do is ok-ish.

I think London Nights would have been my preference too but Requiem felt more deserving. Turn Up the Bass was on the long list.

What an amazing playlist. Great work, Wardy. Solid gold compilation. There can't be many compilations in the world with Frank Zappa and Girls Aloud separated by just two other songs.

Absolutely. The hand claps, the bassline, the samples.

Jack Your Body is easily the pick of the top 10. Although, I do like Is This Love? and Sometimes also

Yay!

It's great to get your contributions Dandy*. 🙂

Who are you and what have you done with the real dandy*? 😕

Also, you introduce Will to Power only to put them on disc 4? :D

The originals wouldn't have fitted there either, though.

did you type the whole playlist out? :o

Would you really say that Heidi Bruhl was a legend?
