As Maria McKee becomes the 3rd single this year to top the UK and NM chart (after Sinead O'Connor and Adamski/Seal), it might not be long until we get a 4th with the Beautiful South entering at #8.

After getting to #1 with "Vision Of Love" the follow-up "Love Takes Time" fails to chart at all.

I had planned to post this video, and raliverpool posted a live version but I'll post the official video of what was Iggy Pop's only US top 40 hit.

I'd forgotten how good that Rita MacNeill song was!

[Earl Purple]

I remember that Rita McNeill song, but didn't like it much. It was a general song mournful of the end of the coal-mining industry world-wide - she actually came from Canada and maybe it became more comprehensible to me that what happened 6 years earlier wasn't "Thatcher's fault" as such, it was simply a change that many people found it hard to adapt to. In reality though I thought we handled it badly, as we did in many other aspects, which has led us all to where we are today.

The battle for the next chart topper here is probably between the Pet Shop Boys and Beautiful South who will be joined next week by Belinda Carlisle so it will be fierce.

Maybe "Take My Breath Away" will be # 1 here very soon.
