Some of the dance stuff was okay at the time, but they date quite easily.

A period of music that actually was pretty good tbf.

[darkstar79]

Some nice britpop/indie-songs (Blur, Catatonia, Manics, ...), some good Club-tunes (Basement Jaxx, Phats and Small, Freddy Fresh, ...), some great moments of pop (Britney, Madonna, George Michael & Mary J., ...) and well, some moments of horror as in every chart (Martine mcCutcheon, Venga Boys, Texas, ...).
Good mixture, anyway.

[Earl Purple]

I'd be more interested in the chart counted down on 9 May 1999 because that was the day we got promoted. 9th May has been a great date in my life.

This was around the time that Ultrasound had their one week in the UK album chart with Everything Picture. I bought that album too, and saw them live around that time too.
