1 (5) The First Time – Robin Beck - I bought this and got sick of it.I love it agin now though.Never heard her other songs.
2 (3) Stand Up For Your Love Rights - Yazz - Bought this too.Yazz' success should have lasted longer.
3 (2) Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi – Kylie Minogue - Double AA with Made In Heaven (I LOVE that song.Her forgotten hit)
4 (18) Need You Tonight - INXS - Probably the only song I like of theirs.
6 (8) He Ain’t No Competition – Brother Beyond - My brother hated them,which made me love them even more.Plus Nathan revived Worlds Apart so we should all thank him for that and he did a funky duet with Kim Wilde.
7 (4) Girl You Know It’s True – Milli Vanilli - I liked a few of their hits.I keep threatening to buy an album but still haven't got around to it.The one with the distinctive eyes was amazing looking !
10 (10) Real Gone Kid – Deacon Blue - 't was okay.
11 (9) 1-2-3 – Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine - Bought this.Single version way better than the album version,
12 (22) Twist And Shout – Salt-N-Pepa - I taped this off the radio and played it over and over.I didn't buy it 'cause I thought I'd go off it.I still like it though.So bad it's good.
19 (13) One Moment In Time – Whitney Houston - Wonderful Whitney ,back when she made great music.
20 (14) A Little Respect - Erasure - I wasn't into Erasure back then,but bought their Pop album yrs later and loved all of it.
23 (20) Never Trust A Stranger – Kim Wilde - One of my fav singers.Great song,great video,great leather jacket and hot pink boobtube combo.
27 (19) We Rule – Wee Papa Girl Rappers - Truly awful nursery ryhme nonsense.Absolute bobbins.I loved it.
30 (New) Nathan Jones - Bananarama - Not mad about this.It's good,but I didn't expect it to do well in the charts.
32 (New) Radio Romance - Tiffany - my favourite Tiffster song.''From who ?Uhhr just say from the one who loves ya baybay''.lol
36 (29) Big Fun – Inner City - I can't remember this.I had the album so would have liked it.Forgotten now though.
39 (New) In Your Room – The Bangles - This should have been a bigger hit.Excellent.
40 (31) Teardrops – Womack & Womack - Didn't like it then,but quite like it now.

I most definitely agree with you on these statements!Yazz, great voice this was my favourate song of hers, way better than The only way is up.Have mercy in the mid 90s should've been huge!

erasure and womack and womack great songs i havent heard for a long time

[Smurfie]

I bought the following:

3 (2) Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi – Kylie Minogue
6 (8) He Ain’t No Competition – Brother Beyond
9 (6) She Makes My Day – Robert Palmer
19 (13) One Moment In Time – Whitney Houston
20 (14) A Little Respect - Erasure
22 (23) Twist In My Sobriety – Tanita Tikaram
23 (20) Never Trust A Stranger – Kim Wilde
24 (26) I Wish U Heaven - Prince
29 (34) What Kind Of Fool – All About Eve
30 (New) Nathan Jones - Bananarama
31 (New) Success – Sigue Sigue Sputnik
39 (New) In Your Room – The Bangles

Tanita Tikaram! Theres a name I haven't heard for a while! I liked both Good Tradition and Twist In My Sobriety. Unfortunately, Tanita Tikaram fell foul to the French and Saunders p*sstake sketch, so could never take her seriously again after that!

In Your Room by the Bangles was a single!! Pity it didn't that brilliantly. I both Everything around the same time Eternal Flame came out - though Eternal Flame is not one of my favourites, but liked it rather a lot at the time. I'll Set You Free and Be With You we're much better tracks.

[Jan]

my favourates from this chart:

2 (3) Stand Up For Your Love Rights - Yazz
34 (18) Need You Tonight - INXS
6 (8) He Ain’t No Competition – Brother Beyond Much better than The harder i try with a awesome 12" mix!
9 (6) She Makes My Day – Robert Palmer
10 (10) Real Gone Kid – Deacon Blue.Not their best song but still good, Your town is my altime best DB song.
11 (9) 1-2-3 – Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine
14 (12) Let’s Stick Together – Bryan Ferry
19 (13) One Moment In Time – Whitney Houston.What a voice!
20 (14) A Little Respect - Erasure
21 (37) Handle With Care – Travelling Wilburys.The only one of theirs i like!
22 (23) Twist In My Sobriety – Tanita Tikaram.AWESOME song!So much better than Good tradition, but this was psrobably as high as it got!
23 (20) Never Trust A Stranger – Kim Wilde
26 (16) Harvest For The World – The Christians
31 (New) Success – Sigue Sigue Sputnik.The only song of theirs i can listen to!Must be the fact it was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman!
39 (New) In Your Room – The Bangles.One of their better singles along with Walking down your street i think?
40 (31) Teardrops – Womack & Womack

i absolutely disliked:
32 (New) Radio Romance - Tiffany. i disliked everything about her from the thin voice to the choice of songs.
AND how can i forget, one of the most terrible records of all time:
Bobby McFerrin-Don't worry be happy.

[wonderwall]

I wouldn't say it was the WORST record of all time, but it is very very yukky. As was the follow up.

I think my least favourite out of the list is "Welcome To The Jungle". Another one of my pet hate bands! Ugh.

I still love Eternal Flame,but YES YES YES 'I'll Set You Free' and 'Be With You' are much better tracks.By Crikey.Smurfie ,when you're right - you are SO right !!
I had the 'Everything' LP (long since scratched from my leaping around the room to 'Be With You',but I have the Hits cd now instead).I was so hoping for those two singles to be huge,especially after their chart topper.Can't think why they didn't do so well.
I'm listening to 'I'll Set You Free' right now.

17 (11) We Call It Acieed – D-Mob ft Gary Haisman

Awful record, but thanks to D-Mob we were introduced to the very lovely Cathy Dennis!

I liked Put Your Hands Together by D-Mob as well! "Feeling rowdy?" "Yeah!" "So let's have a party!"
