Fastlove is one of my favourite ever tracks :cry:

I listened to every UK Top 40 from the early ninties to mid 2000's. I used to look forward to each chart and enjoy listening to it but now I hardly ever isten to it, simply becuase I don't like 75% of the songs in it. I like good melodic rock /guitar based music, and while I can enjoy a lot of the current groups nowadays I just find most of the current songs in the chart aren't my cup of tea. I don't see the point of listening for three hours to a chart when I don't enjoy most of it and I can just stick an album I like on. Having said that, single sales would appear to reflect sales are up from the mid-late 2000's so downloads have obviously had a positive sales effect. I just don't really enjoy the UK Top 40 anymore. :(

Have to respectfully disagree with you there. Made In Heaven, Queen, A Night At The Opera, Sheer Heart Attack, The Miracle, The Works and The Game are all outstanding in my opinion. The so called 'music experts' never gave Queen any good reviews. Just look at quotes from current successful artists and you'll see how highly rated Queen's albums were.

This may convince me to listen to the chart again to see what she's like. Reggie was the final nail in the coffin for me after a series of crap presenters. I didn't mind Wes Butters and Scott Mills is ok but the last one I really liked was Mark Goodier. His knowledge and interest in the chart made it so much better.
