Mark Oh with 'Tears Don't Lie' with a very familiar sample.

Just catching the tail end of the pub rock wave. The Inmates must have thought they were on to a winner with a hit with their second single, and a US top 40 album with their debut, but they've not charted since - despite a number of singles and albums from 1979 to 2003.

Of course it’s a great pop track, and though it still would have probably tanked at Eurovision, it’s still a million times better than Love bloody City Groove.

Babybird with the pleasant 'If You'll Be Mine'.

A no. 39 hit from February 2003 It was good to see Soft Cell back in the Top 40 even if it was brief

Yeah, I can remember being shocked when this was beaten by Love City Groove to represent us at Eurovision. Although this is by far the weakest of Deuce's 3 big hits it's still a great pop tune.

The blonde was on telly once saying she didn't want to be the next Madonna. She wanted to be the first Kelly O'Keefe. Well, she managed that.
The brunette became Mrs Ant. (Of & Dec, rather than Adam, fame.)

Interesting credits for that. Tony Macaulay has a few chart-toppers under his belt as a songwriter (for The Foundations, Long John Baldry, Edison Lighthouse, and The New Seekers). And he also got namechecked in the Porridge film. While Christopher Logue was a poet best known for War Music, his adaptation of Homer.

Private Emotion! I forgot all about that, I loved it! Stunning. But it has got me on a Enrique Iglesias loop on YouTube which is not so favourable except Not In Love with Kelis. I also love this version of Intimacy. I think The Corrs were the first to record it for their sophomore album, but Meja released it as a single (I have it).

Solid Harmonie had 3 chart hits and a certain catchy appeal.
Amazing pop hit. I listened to this to death and loved the album and sure I had it as an avatar at some point. I Wanna Love You and I Want You To Want Me are all 10/10 in fact going to listen them right now. All their singles were good, even To love once again and Come and get it which was released in Scandinavia, I think. The album still sounds good.

Lolly 'Per Sempre Amore' was probably the best of her singles.

Boo Radleys 'What's In The Box' failed to do quite as well as 'Wake Up'.

I'm not sure if this one is a nearly forgotten hit or a completely forgotten hit.
A #9 hit in December 1974 this is one of the earliest dub reggae hits. I can remember at the time the young me finding this song too weird to like but within two or three years I was totally into reggae.

If you don't like the first minute, keep listening, you might like the second. Or the third. It's a prog album in one single. John Miles would have had a no.1 had it not been for Eurovision; the two songs in the way were from Brotherhood of Man and Abba.
