I bought the following on CD single:

2 Saturday Night - Whigfield
8 Crazy For You – Let Loose
9 Things Can Only Get Better – D:Ream
10 Doop - Doop
11 The Sign – Ace Of Base
13 Rhythm Of The Night - Corona
15 Seven Seconds – Youssou N’Dour ft Neneh Cherry
19 (Meet The) Flintstones – BC-52s
24 Searching – China Black
25 Return To Innocence - Enigma
30 Love Me For A Reason - Boyzone
33 Another Night – MC Sar ft Real McKoy
35 Sweetness – Michelle Gayle

Which is not an awful lot seeing as I was buying four or five singles a week in 94.

I remember the Summer of 94 was particularly bland with the same six or seven singles consistantly clogging up the top end of the chart.

Both The Sign and Crazy For You were in my year end chart, but other great singles that missed the Top 40 completely were the two singles that Lush released in the same week (Hypocrite and Desire Lines).

I'm gonna grossly generalise here, but the mid 90s (93-96) musically for me always seemed dire. A lot of eurocheese about and reggae type affairs. However I shall pick on some faves (please note I may not necessarily like the artist but the songs were okay)...

6 Without You – Mariah Carey
8 Crazy For You – Let Loose (great tune)
11 The Sign – Ace Of Base
17 All I Want For Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey (still love this)
18 Everything Changes – Take That
30 Love Me For A Reason - Boyzone
32 Breathe Again – Toni Braxton
35 Sweetness – Michelle Gayle
40 Sweets For My Sweet – CJ Lewis (wow this was a big fave lol)

Oh God I remember buying Come On You Reds (the team that every defender dreads) for my brother... hahaha!

[rubcale]

Can't believe #12.

I bought:

Wet Wet Wet
East 17
Mariah Carey (far superior to Nilsson)
Ace Of Base
Corona
Toni Braxton
Celine Dion

[marcus]

Not even that nasty, nasty Man Utd song is in the top 10!!!!!!! YAY!!!.

[Deleted]

A fair amount of those singles where available on vinyl too, as well as cd single. Have quite a few of those on vinyl.

I think vinyl singles started phasing out around 95/96 with the exception of indies of course.

[Jan]

Searching by Chinablack was my favourate from there.I liked all their releases, but somehow the public's interest went downhill after this great single.
How about starting a "whatever happened to" no.4?, Smurf?

[wonderwall]

swamp thing by the grid used to love that song

[PurpleCareBear]

I remember buying (mostly on cassette single) :
Things Can Only Get Better – D:Ream
The Sign – Ace Of Base
All I Want For Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey
Everything Changes – Take That
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World - Prince
Breathe Again – Toni Braxton
Hey Now) Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper
Sweetness- Michelle Gayle

and I still love all those,except maybe the Prince song.
I remember loving Let Loose Crazy For You but for some unknown reason did not buy it,and I liked Boyzones Love me For A Reason too,and Celine Dions Think Twice,didn't buy those either.

I hated Whigfield at the time,but I like it now.lol

I LOVED 1994 and 1995 - anyone got 1995 list (bet I got nearly all of them )

I owe my love of music to Whigfield - she got me interested in the charts.

[wonderwall]

enigma return to innocence i really like that song

[Chris]

I actually loved the Doop song, really catchy.

[S1m]

Lyrics were tricky though Chris.

[Chris]

Yeah. Actually haven't heard it in years. Must get my daughter to download it when she gets back as I don't know how to download.
