# 1 : Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan - Especially For You

UK Top 40 chartrun : 3-5-7-16-30 (5 weeks)

After # 2 at Christmas week (behind Steps - Heartbeat) Denise & Johnny climb to # 1 with a cover version of classic Kylie Minogue's # 1 hit "Especially For You" (her duet with Jason Donovan).

In my retrospective chart it was a third Kylie's number one after "I Should Be So Lucky" and "Got To Be Certain" and spent four weeks on the top. All these three singles were released in 1988.

Probably for the first time in a history of my retrospective chart both versions (original and cover version) became # 1. 

[Razzle Dazzle]

Some guilty pleasures there, my favorites are

06. (-) Ace Of Base - Always Have, Always Will (3 weeks)
09. (-) Steps - Tragedy (7 weeks)
18. (-) Corrs - So Young (6 weeks)
19. (-) Hole - Celebrity Skin (18 weeks)
20. (-) Aqua - My Oh My (23 weeks)
25. (-) Garbage - Special (12 weeks)
34. (-) Aqua - Good Morning Sunshine (2 weeks)
36. (-) Ace Of Base - Life Is A Flower (24 weeks)

[Earl Purple]

so tonight are you going to party?

I was in Paris when 1999 began, so for me it came in an hour earlier. Robbie Williams was #1 in my chart with "No Regrets". But your charts only chart female singers which makes it less interesting to me.

Still, I am surprised that Cher isn't in your chart with Believe. I know that would have been a fairly long time up to this point, but still there are older songs than it. Also Emilia with Big Big World.

Re: Your all female chart list.

Between September 98 & the end of February 1999 I had 11 Personal chart toppers (#289 - #299) of which 8.5 were female vocals.

The half came from my equivalent week's #1 which spent 4 weeks on top, which funnily enough is absent from your chart:



(The other 2 males were #291 REM - Daysleeper Oct98 - 2 Wks; #293 Robbie Williams - No Regrets Nov98 - 2 Wks).

The other female acts which had already topped the charts art this point appear to amusingly absent from your top 50:

289 Jennifer Paige - Crush Sep98 - 3 Wks
290 Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That Thing) Sep98 - 3 Wks
292 Alanis Morissette - Thank U Oct98 - 4 Wks
294 Emilia - Big Big World Dec98 - 1 Wk
295 Spice Girls - Goodbye Dec98 - 2 Wks

However, whilst I never kept my charts pre 2006, I can remember B*Witched - To You I Belong peaked at #2; and Steps - Heartbeat & One For Sorrow both went top 5, but I remember not charting their murder of the Bee Gees 1979 UK #1 hit.

[Earl Purple]

My only female vocal #1 in the second half of 1998 (24 and 31 October) but not in your chart:

From mentioned female singers and groups only Jennifer Paige was a participant of my chart.
I dislike Bee Gees and usually prefer the modern pop cover versions over the originals.

I gave 145th place (from 168 songs) for Bee Gees' "Tragedy" in my countdown of all UK # 1s from 70s decade.

Steps' million seller is the one from my favourite UK # 1s of 90s.

# 1 : Shania Twain - From This Moment On



UK Top 40 chartrun : 9-17-26 (3 weeks)

On the ninth week in the chart Shania Twain got her 9th # 1 single (and the fourth # 1 hit from "Come On Over" era) with a country pop track "From This Moment On", taken from her third and the best studio album "Come On Over". She has the most # 1s in 90s decade.

Let's remember all her previous # 1s in my chart.
1. What Made You Say That
2. Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under ?
3. Any Man Of Mine
4. You Win My Love
5. No One Needs To Know
6. Love Gets Me Every Time
7. You're Still The One
8. When

On the next week we will see very interesting battle for # 1 between the current leader and two new singles from the groups, which reached # 1 with their previous songs.

Will Shania hold # 1 position in her hands ?

# 1 : Ace Of Base - Always Have, Always Will



UK Top 40 chartrun : 12-16-16-17-19-24-34 (7 weeks)

After unpredictable and unusual for my chart 1-6 drop we have a new queens and kings of the chart. Swedish 90s pop group Ace Of Base got their 8th number one ""Always Have, Always Will" (UK # 12) in very strong competition against the compatriots Graaf Sisters and American rock band Hole. The song was released as the single from the album "Flowers" in many countries, but at different times. Usually (and in this case too) I have been using a date of UK release.

"The Light Comes From Within" wasn't particularly good, which explains why it wouldn't chart that high. It did get into my chart but I recall it peaked at #29.

# 1 : Graaf - Never Never



UK Top 40 chartrun : -

Two Swedish sisters Hannah and Magdalena Graaf got their second consecutive # 1 hit song with "Never Never" (# 16 in Sweden). In 2006 year younger sister Hannah will join in a very small club of singers, which had solo # 1 hit (in her situation it was wonderful single "Naughty Boy", also known as my all-time favourite Melodifestivalen song) after the split of group with #1 singles in my chart.

I could say something about the interesting battle for # 1 on the next week, but there is not any possible surprises. Almost everybody can give a correct prediction about the next # 1 single in this chart.

# 1 : Blondie - Maria



UK Top 40 chartrun : 1-2-6-11-15-19-26-30 (8 weeks)

Best comeback in a history of pop music from Haven forum favourite.

"Maria" was Blondie's first single since "War Child" in July 1982 and became Blondie's sixth UK number one single exactly 20 years after their first chart-topper "Heart of Glass".

In my chart Blondie were even bigger than in the real world, "Maria" became their 12th number one hit and the first since "Call Me" # 1 debut in April 1980.

Full list of their # 1s in my chart :
1. In The Flesh
2. Denis
3. (I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear
4. Picture This
5. Hanging On The Telephone
6. Heart Of Glass
7. Sunday Girl
8. Dreaming
9. Union City Blue
10. Atomic
11. Call Me
