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:
This was the only Top 40 hit for Tal Bachman who is the son of Randy Bachman from Bachman Turner Overdrive. I'm surprised this record only got to number 30 in the charts as it seemed a pretty big record at the time. Not my cup of tea.
Verdict - Rubbish
This was the final Top 40 hit to date for Barbra Streisand which came 33 years after her Top 40 debut. It was also the only Top 40 hit for Vince Gill. The songwriter of this was Richard Marx long after his UK Top 40 career was over. It's pretty bland.
Verdict - Rubbish
I have to say I do like the video to this record. It's a funny video and when it appeared on the music channels which it did a lot I would keep it on and watch it. Unfortunately the song itself isn't really up to much, just a bit of backing music for the video really.
Verdict - Rubbish
If we give the records which were good 1 point each and those which were OK half a point, the final score is 6.5/30, or 22%. A sign we're heading to the 21st century.
