Thanks for sharing these Sim. I really enjoyed reading them. Lots of songs there that were also Top 10 hits in my chart.

Pleasing to see you charted high Always Breaking My Heart. This is one of my favourite songs of all time (though spent longer at number one in my chart, than it did in your top ten in total )

Also, good to see Ladykillers! I loooooved Lush - though I preferred Single Girl to Ladykillers, but Lovelife was a very good album all round anyway!

My trouble was my taste is so eclectic that I had songs dropping out of the charts far too soon to make way for new ones! I expanded to a top 15 in 1997 and a top 20 in 1998 but I really could have had a top 40 or top 75 back then what with all the great songs!
Thanks for your comments!
