Top 30 in 1999 Reviewed: Week 29

Here's my weekly look at the Top 30 from 26 years ago. The plan is for these posts to go out at 17:30 on a Sunday.

Here is the Top 40 in full.

I've decided against repetition from previous weeks moving forward so will only feature the records I'm reviewing for the first time. I also won't repeat the reviews from the Top 20 in 1999 Reviewed posts.

Once again my opinions are inevitably going to differ from other people, but I'm not trying to convince anyone something is good or rubbish, I'm simply giving my opinion.

So this is the records new to the top 30 from this week in 1999 with my verdict on each record:

26. The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

I'm surprised this record only made number 26 as this seemed massive at the time. It also re-entered the Top 40 in 2006 but only made number 39 at the time. I have mixed feelings on this one, on one hand you can feel the pain but on the other hand it's a bit namby pamby. Best give it half marks then.

Verdict - OK

If we give the records which were good 1 point each and those which were OK half a point, the final score is 10.5/30, or 35%. Just a slight drop this week.
